How to Get Better at Sound Design (By Doing A Lot Less)

[@Edyremoh]

Man, you really nailed the color grading on this video. It's so vibrant yet comfy. This channel's gonna blow up, I'm sure.

Dude honestly, i related so hard to the "burnout" part. it just feels like there is so much to do in so little time and adds to the stress of doing EVERYTHING at the same time. you feel so burnt out, that you stop enjoying creating sounds. I just only started to tell myself to just take step back and tackle one thing at a time. Little by little hopefully it just adds up to the skill set. This video has been really insightful

It's tough for sure! The goal isn't to learn everything, but to just keep going longer than everyone else. The only way to do that is to do it as sustainably as possible.

Criminally underrated channel. A lot of these music channels don't teach anything besides the basics to be accessible, but i find your videos to be not only extremely informative and niche but also extremely understandable Super high quality content!! You've taught me a lot (especially with layers... I need to use them more!)

In music and sound design i learned that less is more, and more is a mess. Great content Akash!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Well said!

[@Kitarraman]

I finally made it! I can claim I have bought one of your courses before it sold out! I feel a lucky man. See you there in February, Akash

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Haha thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@Sunrise_Haven]

I have been feeling the burnout lately, and this video is helping pick the pieces back up. Thanks again for the best videos! I look forward to every upload

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thank you!! That burnout is real, and I see tons and tons of audio folks this year dealing with some serious crashes. Definitely take the rest you need!

[@InfiniteLightAura]

Dude you just appeared on my feed!! - super stoked to see your content thriving ⭐

[@Kharmatic]

You're an awesome and warm teacher. You don't come across as condescending ever and it makes your videos very watchable and enjoyable, and most importantly encouraging

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Well that's very sweet! Thank you!!

[@zynth_music]

love all these videos, great job on not only youtube but also just your teaching skill and sound design journey!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thank you so much! And thank you for watching!

[@Eliaproduction]

Amazing content and with my 8+ years of experience I agree with every word you said! (great editing by the way, very entertaining too)

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

That means a lot to hear! Thanks so much!!

[@RewdanSprites]

Such a great video and I like how you used the examples as you describe them. I've learned loads from this channel (particularly your massive and reaper playlist) just wanted to drop by and say thanks! If I had the money I'd steal you away to work with me aha (so I don't have to do everything).

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Haha! Thanks so much! I really really appreciate that!

Do you just stop shaving your facial hair at a certain point that ends up actually defining the top of your chest hair? I know that life, you gotta just make a call somewhere.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Haha! It's a constant and deep consideration every single time I shave.
