Music Producing
I’ve been producing music for a few years now and it’s been an amazing journey. I love creating different sounds and experimenting with different genres. One of my favorite parts of producing music is being able to control every aspect of the sound (Like Sounds in Games). From choosing the instruments to tweaking the mix, I get to be in complete control of the final product. It can be a challenging process at times, but it’s incredibly satisfying when I finally get the sound I’m looking for. Producing music is a rewarding and fulfilling experience that I can’t imagine giving up.
