Raaphorst 2010-03-30T15:51:13Z 2011-10-05T06:17:11Z <p>A documentary maker called me a sound designer. At first I thought he forgot to mention my composer role. I told my girlfriend about it and she was like sound design is what you do, a composer feels like an old title.</p> <p>When I am doing music or sound I blend it all together. I might even play guitar, small percussion, record and tweak everything. Like doing sculpture. Make new noise out of noise.</p> <p>Uhm, but I am not sure. What's the difference?</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/4081/which-reporter-setup which reporter setup?

Raaphorst 2010-04-01T15:48:08Z 2010-04-01T15:48:08Z <p>I have used Beyerdynamic DT250 for some years and like it, but they're worn out. I will probably go for the Sennheiser this time, seem to be durable as well.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/527/how-do-you-stay-original/541#541 Answer by Raaphorst for How do you stay original? Raaphorst 2010-03-30T18:54:26Z 2010-03-30T18:54:26Z <p>I try to avoid believing the 'experts'.</p> <p>And break all rules. If it sounds right, it is right.</p> <p>There's really no right and wrong. If you know the rules of dynamics, loud and soft, high and low, you can do anything.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/509/which-daw-do-you-use/540#540 Answer by Raaphorst for Which DAW do you use?

Ableton is superb for super fast sound design.</p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/38/how-to-make-money-with-sound-design/534#534 Answer by Raaphorst for How to make money with sound design. Raaphorst 2010-03-30T15:45:37Z 2010-03-30T15:45:37Z <p>You can sell your work online. Works for me when doing sounds which can be used in music software. And a blog is a great way to show what you're capable of. I got many commissions because I made my music and sounds available online.</p> <p>But direct contact might be the best thing. I you think you know people who might be interested in your work, email them and point them to you blog and phone them up. </p> http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/535/composition-versus-sound-design-whats-the-difference/4678#4678 Comment by Raaphorst Raaphorst 2010-11-20T10:35:51Z 2010-11-20T10:35:51Z I totally agree! All sounds blends into one.
