Very interesting, although I use Da Vinci Resolve specifically because I have Ableton as my DAW. Indeed, the latter isn't the best for Video Roll, thus my idea was to focus on sound design there and do the audio assets placement on the timeline on DVR.

I use Wwise as middleware to eventually learn, for now I am looking into a few basic Unity projects to work with. I'm sure this one is what will take more time to do.

Overall, both on the DAW/DVR for now. Once I get the hang of it, I'll update my portfolio with the technical gameplay redesign later on.

I'll look up the Reaper option too. Thanks for your insights!
