A few days before the quarantine began, I tried testing out a new software called ProTools by AVID. The software is generally used by sound designers, composers, and even home musicians. Since I have always been fond of learning and playing music, I began taking online tutorials. I thought that as a video editor, the sound design would be a skill that could come in handy during tricky situations. Luckily, the stay-at-home period has helped me brush my skills on the software and I've also learned how to play the keyboard. Turns out, it's never too late to learn a skill. Comment below and let us know what you'd be interested to learn or what you have learned so far during the quarantine.
