<p>That’s not really how it works. Working as an engineer, you will have nothing to do with a record label. If your an assistant engineer, your boss is the engineer. If you are the head engineer, then your boss is the producer and the artist. Not until you are actually a record producer will you have any run ins with a label. As an engineer you can be employed by a producer, in house at a studio or as independent help for the said two.</p>
