If you do get to be in charge, you can use what the hell you want. Until that point, expect to use PT.
Yeah, beginners often do. But I'll give the advice I consider suitable, thanks, and your assessment of their capabilities or history isn't going to be a factor in that.Just look at his post history. Going around asking stupid questions.

"Sound design" as a description of a job or job title existed before there were plugins or DAWs. In the industry it was coined (the film industry), it was created, in 1969, to mean something quite specific, and its origin derived from the notion of a production designer. It meant something a bit more than making individual sounds, and it wasn't about creating sounds from scratch.Lutin mutin wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 7:38 pm Sorry guys, but I don't understand the initial question...
If you are taking about "sound design", you are talking about sound : creating a particular sound, modifying an existing sound, etc... and as far as I know, to create or modulate or destroy or... a sound, you need sound-creative instruments (VSTi), effects (VST) or modulators (LFOs, Enveloppes, MSED,...).
As far as I know, a DAW must have integrated VSTi and VST in his soft, but a DAW is most like a tape machine, or like a sequencer, and a DAW don't create sounds, but sure, it can mix sounds... mixing sounds in a DAW is what you consider as sound-creation ?
Sound design, as per the original specific meaning of the term, was going on for a good few years before there was much more than mixing and tape.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

I'll chime in and say, "the one you use". Learn in, break it & learn some more. Then and only then if it doesn't meet your needs move on to another one.
Reaper is a good a place as any to start and I would think it will take you a long ways.

It really cracks down to the type of sound design and in which enviroment. Like if you do (for example) synth patches only, the DAW basicly doesn`t matter. Except maybe for demo track creation.
Otherwise, in terms of samples - also here, really depends on the stleys/genres. If more field recording or recordings in general, a DAW with good sample editing function would be best, included with a high stack of on board plugins to process the material. If it`s more let`s say EDM styles, probably Ableton would be the best, with the more creative workflow.
Also if you use much modular hardware, since Ableton v10 i would prefer this as best choice in terms of DAW through their new features of connecting eurorack gear into DAW enviroment.

For me I use FL Studio, I bought the $199 edition and Sytrus is one of the best VSTs I’ve used.
Many paid and free VSTs as well as Kontakt libraries. As well as HW synths/drum machine and acoustic instruments.
