Where to begin as general audio / sound specialist?

[censor0]

Hello, I am not sure where to ask and this question is not directly related to UE, but anyway: I want to create sounds (for example different monster sounds or sci-fi gun shots) / ambient and may be music for games or movies, but I don’t know where to start. I searched that prominent compositors use digital DAW software like Cubase or FL Studio.
But I have no idea how to begin. Are there tutorials or something that might point in the right direction?
For example there are a ton of great 3D tutorials, the well known doughnut.
Thanks.

You need a decent mike, and a DAW with a sampler. Also, an understanding of how sound effects are made from almost nothing.

Someone rattling a bunch of keys can be turned into a SCIFI gun, if you know what you’re doing.
