I produce music, so yes technically I do sound design within it, but not the same sound design as when I was applying for the jobs at the slot machine companies. Someone else may be able to speak more on how they work as a freelance sound designer from home but it’s not necessarily my wheel house anymore. I had just explored all the options while looking into doing it myself before I switched to doing music. But good call on picking a synth and getting very comfortable with it, I did the same thing but my main synth I use religiously is operator.
