The guys doing both the sound balance and recording are near universally

I've always liked the basic definition - if you can't design and build
a working engine, then you're not a frikkin' engineer!

I'd be happy to agree with you. Unfortunately, where I have to describe my
job for official purposes like car insurance, tax, etc, sound engineer
seems to be the only one understood.

However, I'd happily design and build a working valve or SS amp. Provided
the spec wasn't important. ;-)
