On checking some more of my European label CDs

 

I find I have two Archiv CDs that credit a particular engineer twice on the
same CD, once as “Tonmeister (Balance Engineer)” and once as “Recording
Engineer”, so clearly they regard those as distinct roles (although DG
doesn’t)

 

On an EMI recording I have someone credited as “Tonmeister / Balance
Engineer/ Ingénieur du son”

Not meaning to be a wet blanket, but I’ve just managed to located one of my
CDs (Deutsche Gramophon) that does translate Tonmeister into other
languages. The results are most unfortunate!

 

Before the name of the engineer being credited is this quadrilingual
statement:

 

“Tonmeister / Recording Engineer / Ingénieur du son / Ingegnere del suono”

 

Thus two of the four language versions use something reminiscent of Sound
Engineer, which of course is a completely distinct MB term, and another uses
Recording Engineer, again a distinct MB term.
