You may have heard about artists making their own sample packs - you may even have bought some yourself. But wouldn't it be great to be able to make your own, and even sell them if you wanted to? There are several ways to do this, and they come with a specific set of rules so it's important to have the best guidance whether you're starting out or looking to improve your skills.

Discussion
The difference between AskVideo and AskAudio isnt clear
This course IS available at Ask.Video: https://ask.video/course/sample-pack-creation-101-designing-and-marketing-sample-packs
The difference between Ask.Video and Ask.Audio Academy is this:
Ask.Audio Academy has only the audio related courses.
Ask.Video has ALL category courses (audio, video, design, productivity, etc)
Hope this helps.
