Hi Justin! Thanks for doing this!

I'm interested in sound design as well as music production. I do both in another industry right now, but I'm looking forward to one day transitioning to the video game world.

You have mentioned the importance of a showreel. Can you go into some detail on what makes up a great showreel and what it is supposed to be exactly? I get that it's a collection of your work showcasing different styles, etc. maybe more info on layout (put i on a website? Soundcloud?), how many tracks you should have, is it better to be varied or specialized, etc. And could you provide details on what should be on a music production showreel as opposed to a sound design showreel? Thank you in advance!

Ok! That makes sense and helps me understand what middleware is. Thanks! Do you know of any public examples of showreels that I could check out?

Edit: last question, I promise!

Edit2: I did a 1 second google search and found some examples on YouTube! Thanks again.

For the music side, do I need to be versed in implementation / middleware (I hope I'm using my those terms correctly)? Or is that more of a sound design necessity?

Edit: just wanted to thank you for your response to my first question! Not trying to be an ama hog.
