Sorry, as for DAW, I used Nuendo while working on video games, but have since switched over to Cubase for personal production work after I retired. Nuendo is just overkill for music production IMO.
Meant to get into Abelton Live, but never had the opportunity or time while I was working - I understand it's a great performance tool, but Live came along well after I had established a workflow with Steinberg products, and did not feel the need to invest time becoming proficient in *YET ANOTHER* suite when I already had a lot of work to do, and know Cubendo inside/out.
