ABSTRACT
Many engineers have skills they can use when the projects aren't rolling in. These skills may include building websites, booking or promoting bands, repairing equipment, carpentry, electrical work, and even teaching audio-related classes. In the late 80s, there were very few home studios. The only affordable options were to record on a cassette 4-track, which was only good enough for demo quality, or go to a commercial recording studio. In the early 90s, the digital revolution brought an affordable and less cumbersome recording setup for the hobbyist and home studio. Home studios have continued to replace the traditional, larger commercial studios with the digital audio workstation taking over where the Alesis Digital Audio Tape left off. Working from job-to-job is one of the many reasons readers will often take on more than people can handle because people won't know when people next gig will happen. Post-production work deals with audio as related to film and video. Radio production jobs can be in public, commercial, Internet, or cable radio.
