Visual design X music/audio design

Hey ppl, I was just wondering…

I have two great interests in my life: music and visual design. Music has always been my passion. I love composing, and I do compose a lot of stuff, some of which is recorded by my band. Graphic design came later, after I started studying it on college. Over the years I became truly fascinated with it and dedicated my time to master some design tools and concepts.

Nowadays I am constantly trapped between these two areas. I’m always wondering wether I should dedicate myself to visual design (and therefore study Flash techniques, AS, Photoshop, vector drawing, 3d tools etc etc etc) or audio design (and therefore study harmony, playing techniques, audio layering techniques, VST instruments etc etc etc).

My point is: these fields of interest are so huge that I always find myself having to choose between them. I wish I could fully dedicate to both of them but unfortunatelly, time is short.

I was wondering if any of you guys are in a similar situation (or perhaps the same situation) and what are your opinions on the subject ?
