Training and qualifications
Re-Recording Mixers are usually graduates of Music, Sound Technology, or increasingly, Computer Sound Design courses. Because this is a highly competitive area, many also go on to specialize in Film and Television Sound at post-graduate level. Sound is one of the best served areas for film and television. Training at schools such as The New England Institute of Art (NEIA) are one of the best ways to obtain an Associates or Bachelors of Science Degree in this field.
There are many programs around the country to choose from. NEIA has its educational accreditation through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE). NEASC also accredits other schools in the area such as Harvard.
