Radio Promoter - a radio promoter is hired by an artist or band to promote their song or album to radio stations, hoping to get airplay. The promoter typically sends out the CDs and follows up with phone calls and faxes to the stations. Airplay is tracked by the radio promoter, who passes it along to the artist. Recording Engineer - the engineer is the guy sitting at the mixing board in the studio, whose job it is to get your sound on to tape successfully. He places the mics, records the sounds, and mixes the tracks.
Bigger studios have assistant engineers, as well.
The engineer is a specialist in microphones, effects, and recording techniques. Many engineers are also skilled in production and arrangement, so in small studios, one person may act as both producer and engineer. Engineers can be paid hourly, either included or not included with studio fees, or sometimes receive a percentage of sales when the record is released.
