Hi,

I just graduated college and now i'm trying to find some job's to get me going.
I did a Dual Major for Music Recording and New Media Production.
The Music Recording Program was Audio Engineering pretty much just for bands and stuff, and there was also a lot of theory. But no post production.

Then the New Media Technology Degree was video work/ graphic design/ a tiny bit of audio/ 3d Animation.

So I found this one job ad that is for Audio Post and I was wondering how much does Audio Post differ from just Recording bands. I am a super fast learner when it comes to this subject and it seems like the biggest thing they want out of the person is to know pro tools, which I consider myself to be great on.

These are the job responsiblities
Job Responsibilities:
• Through knowledge of audio for video and audio post
• Laybooks, conform,restore and QC
• Audio layback
• Restoration
• Encode through Protools

Job Qualifications:
• Minimum 5 year experience as audio engineer with through knowledge of mag dubbers and protools
• Must be fully capable of operating Protools System

The only thing I am nervous about is there being a huge differnce with audio for video, but I can't see it being too differnt except for possilbe levels and compression stuff, then what is layback?

any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!
