What a Recording Engineer Does
Recording engineers operate and maintain sound recording equipment. They may also work special effects equipment. These engineers install, test, repair, set up and operate the electronic equipment used to record and transmit radio signals.They regulate the signal strength, clarity and range of sounds and colors of recordings or broadcasts. They also operate control panels to select the material's source.
Addition from Chammusic:
In a professional music studio a recording engineer's job is based around the actual recording of the music group or band. For example they would select and set up the microphones for a drum kit recording // do a soundcheck on the setup // actually supervise the recording //
In a lot of studios the engineers also play an important role in actually mixing the recorded tracks as well - use of compression, EQ, reverb, stereo field + much more to help blend together the individual tracks.
