This was very helpful, i want to do freelance sound design but i don’t know whare to start, also i’m having trouble finding particular horse sound effects, i heard them in various shows and films such as lonesome dove and other mini series, i found most of them but there’s about 12 seconds missing, it, low to mid high range and tuned from b flat to e sharp, i don’t know the name of the file but they’re all from the same horse, sorry this comment is so long, i just need help finding this sound file, it sounds perfect for a project i’m doing, does sound design for animatronics count too, does the soundStorm library have this spicific horse sound effect or is it somewhare else

Is it advisable to get a background
in sound theory, like the science of sound before venturing into Sound editing?
2. Apart from film, what other projects do sound editors work on?

Don't know if you need an answer but the truth of it is not at all. I would say to try out different audio effects(distortion, phaser, ect.) and first a general idea of what the effects sound like. Learning afterwards what the effects are technically doing will help give you a better understanding of it. Also you may not be interesting in making music but looking up tutorials for electronic genres heavily focused on sound design(like dubstep, hybrid orchestral, neurofunk, halftime) will also show some great concepts in sound design. After all, Michael Bay did hire Skrillex to do some of the sounds for a transformer movie.

@@rebirth4119 That's very interesting to hear considering my teacher (sound guy) used Transformers 3 as an example of next level or great sound design for it's time.

[@rebirth4119]

@@Samuri5hit84 That's pretty cool man. Yeah I know even other sound designers who have actually used electronic music as a form of inspiration in some ways. Mick Gordon(Doom composer) listens to a lot of electronic music and his use of distortion is influenced from the reese basses from neurofunk and Drum and Bass music. If you check out Koan Sound you'll see what I mean. Also the giant sand worm scene from the Mandalorian uses a slowed down version of a sample sample from dubstep musician Virtual Riot. I think the main difference in electronic music sound design is rather that they usually start with synthesizers than just pure samples.
