Tried everything: youtube channel, multiple tutorial websites, music video making/videography, photography, for artists and bands, and finally sound design and mixing

The last one is the only that is actually working somewhat



Incredibly this almost exactly the path I've taken outside of my day job as a software engineer.

Product photography -> headshot/corporate event photography -> corporate video -> field recording -> music production

The "problem" that I've allowed myself to have is that I have the disposable income to take care of the gear bottleneck that many people in these fields dream of, but not the time overall to invest in the skills bottleneck.


I tried kid’s YT channel. Too much work. I feel like I still have a shot.


How did you start with sound design and mixing? Want to try it myself.
