Master these seven skillsets you will become bulletproof. This is true even if you aren’t a pro (weekend warrior, church audio volunteer). And here’s the fun spoiler alert - Mixing is just one of them! **Unfortunately, the barrier to entry is only getting steeper.**

The number of expected skillsets is great and their complexity is growing exponentially. Audio technology is moving from concrete to abstraction (less analog, more digital), which is harder for humans in general to grasp, especially when learning something new. Having something tactile helps a ton (which I always like brand new audio engineers to learn on an analog rig). If you’re watching this video, you’re probably wanting to do something about that! You’re hungry to learn and passionate about getting better at your craft.

I’ve built a career from the ground up over a decade and come to these seven core skillsets as the bulletproof foundation for a modern audio technician, and I’m happy to unpack these with you today.
