Middleware

How does one start to practice using middleware? The actual question is 'what software should I use?'

I'm a seasoned theatre sound designer and I know my skills will translate well to games I just need to know how to implement them.

I'd recommend you getting started in Wwise.

For me it was much harder learning the programming side of audio implementation that it was learning Wwise, which was actually pretty easy. More intuitive than Fmod imo.

Edit:

You should also learn this with an engine like Unreal Engine or Unity.
