When are you considered a Mastering or Mixing Engineer?

When is someone allowed to call themselves a Mastering, or Mixing engineer?

Are there certain college requirements, or a degree?

What about people that taught themselves, reading, studying, putting in the manhours?

I know there are people out there, that didn't go to school for Music Production, Mixing, or Mastering. .
Yet, they are great at what they do. .

My new pride and joy...

Hey guys! So the other day I sold my M-Audio Profire for $400 and turned right around and bought myself an Otari MX5050 MKIV-2 for $380. It came with the rack and is fully operational. I tested all of the I/O's, pots, functionality of the play, stop, etc. The capstan still seems to be in good working order and still has some resllience left to it.

Pro Tools vs PreSonus vs Cubase!

So I'm trying to buy my first recording set up! Originally I was set on Pro Tools, but now the more i look into everything, I'm not sure if Pro Tools is for sure the way I want to go (Mainly due to Hardware Limitations). This is my first DAW other than garage band, so simplicity and user friendly interfaces would be nice.

issues pro-logic to Cubase help

OK... So the band I'm working with had some songs done in a pro-level studio at the ATL Institute... Tracks are ok - mix is horrible. They want me to see if I can salvage the recordings and get something out of them. I did BUT>>>

The institute gave thema CD of the individual tracks, complete with edits but not with any processing - raw tracks. WAV files.
