Sound engineering demystified in an NSFW way

Have you ever studied the album credits of your favourite record and asked yourself what in the hell a "sound engineer" does? Not to mention how long they have to attend the University of British Columbia to get that coveted engineering degree.

Luckily, there's now an answer. Watch while the man behind the boards below more than earns his paycheque. And then imagine it's (take your pick) Cher, Lady Gaga, or Miley Cyrus standing in front of the mike. Actually, scrap the Miley Cyrus. Some things in life aren't fixable, even in the hands of a sound engineer as talented as this guy.
