Mario/DrDan/Mike.

thanks for the suggestions.
fyi heres the scenario.

ive got this extremely challenging 5/4 140 bpm song
i'm doing. frankly i'm not sure if i'm good enough.
i normally do regular time sigs rather than odds.
but what the heck...i like a challenge.

the status is beds are done/arrange/song skeleton.
(useing my fav apps reaps v2 and rb 2024.)
ive also got vocs/lyrics in ruff.
all together ive got about 12 tracks in beds.

the problem i'm haveing of course is ive tried pg content
and its difficult to assess what might apply to a 5/4
OTS (odd time sig). i lucked out testing some content
ie a bass track and a jazz rd that seems to work...the rest of
the tracks are midi of course because its the sorta song that
might benefit from orchestral lib sounds.
(btw my wife...my fiercest critic...lol.. likes the song beds
and skeleton....so maybe its worth doing...cos girls rule...lmao.)

but heres the rub...tho' the commercial orch libs are groovy they
are so big with long dload times and some consume lots of computing resources
from past experience.

fyi i have tried to get the 'discover' lib a couple of times.
(i set up a temporary email to test orch libs.)...and done the
account rigmarole...but...i never seem to get the email re
allowing access ?
its one heck of a rigmarole these days getting trials of stuff
what with account set ups and personal details etc etc.
fyi...in the spirit of not being biased...this week...i wanted
try a music app used by the big boy studios.
only problem was it wanted to install special security software
on my pc...no thanks...ive got enough to think about.
jeesh...i really wish companies would do things the way
multitrackstudio.com and podium daws do things.
ie download and install in 5 minutes flat.
i simply refuse to bow down to paradigms that try to exert
too much invasive control. (pg does it right imho.)
i reckon some companies are loseing business because its often
onerous for the user to test out some apps.

so...in summary...i'm looking for...libs that are ...
..not overly invasive
..a doddle to download and try out....and..
..dont consume tons of pc resources.
(note my new pc is extremely fast with latest m.2 ssd etc etc.
win/rb/bb boot in just a few secs....amazeing little beast that cost peanuts.)

mario...thanks also...i'll look at that.
might be just what i'm looking for.

fyi...to you both...

i dloaded this...looks very interesting...

https://www.synful.com/

easy to get installed...but...the daws couldnt find the
*.dll to instantiate in the daw.
(i looked everywhere on the pc.)
try at your own risk/ymmv/cover my rear etc...lol.

ps...mario where do i dload aegean from ?
thanks for the help.
appreciated...

happiness.
