@suzukislim2838 5 лет назад

Do you have a video on how to add sounds together after you create them because that's where I get stuck. Like I can create some sounds but I don't know how to add them together to make a full track without it sounding like crap. Awesome video btw.

Hi, I’m a 66 year old lady and have played music all of my life. I bought myself a really nice keyboard and decided I should learn about sound design, so that I can understand what I am looking at. I’m not really wanting to be a sound designer, I just want to do some simple things and know what I’m doing. Your video is fantastic, very good yet simple to understand and I am going to make some notes and draw some diagrams to help me to use what you are showing us. Thank you so much. Yes you are a good person. I appreciate your time and what you are giving us. Fiona x

@MrGus937 Год назад

I graduated from Full Sail University with a Recording Arts degree. I don’t work in the entertainment industry anymore. When I hear someone who wants to pursue a career in music production or audio engineering, I always tell then that there is no need to spend that amount of money in education; anyone can learn it in RU-vid and from books. This is an example of accurate information for FREE! Great video!!!

@erikwithak6555 3 месяца назад

I’ve heard this advice from many sound engineers and producers, this changed my idea of going to college for a music degree from going for knowledge to now going to make connections with other artists and eventually obtaining a career. Do you have any recommendations to make these connections and/or finding a job through either college or online?

@MrGus937 3 месяца назад

@@erikwithak6555 there are many ways you can start networking without actually knowing the job, here are some examples: Look for a job in a backline company Look for a job in an live audio company Look for a job in a rehearsal studio Look for a job in a recording studio Look for a job in a local bar that has live music Hang out at instrument stores and make friends w musicians (specially if the play in bands) Just be aware that those jobs are very physically demanding.

I looked at a lot of tutorials trying to figure out what LFO meant. And they were all unclear to me. This guy on this video said the magic phrase which made LFO's so much more understandable to me: that the low frequency was not about pitch or low frequencies but that it simply oscillating at rate/speeds which are relatively "slow" meaning that we can hear the changes quite well. Thanks so much. You are the only video which made this clear.
