Secret Sonics 105 - Darrick Atwater - Going Deep on Sound Design

Darrick Atwater is a music producer, sound designer, audio engineer, and artist based out of Atlanta, GA, USA. In his returning episode on the podcast, we chat about surviving the pandemic, going deep on sound design, wavetable synthesis 101, and so much more. The two of us also get real and talk about dealing with burnout, anxiety, and maintaining a sense of self-worth in this crazy industry. Check it out!
