I am always careful before downloading these types of sound libraries. Simply because I have historically filled too many hard drives with material I never do anything with. So I have now gone a long spell without any downloads and even moved on in generation of Music machines so the old unused stuff is pretty much gone.
So to make a long story short, I did some research on this offering and concluded it was well worth it to get the free version. Let you know in 14 days.

It absolutely is well worth it. You basically get instruments from their top of the line library without some of the articulations but still quite useful. The difference is where this was recorded and it is the BBC Symphony Orchestra so it is very well done. The pro version gives you something like 20 different microphone placements for every sample and all the articulations you would ever need, but this free version is still very nice.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
Hi MusicStudent,I dont have much in ways of strings and this is great for such a small plugin ,some of their free labs stuff is great too,Anyway I hope to have my score up in a couple of days, a mixture of spitfire ,arturia and BIAB ,H P.s my free version came a few minutes after midnight lol very puntual

I think I do. One way is to drag the midi from the inserted track and then drop it on the selected track to play in the SO. In fact you don't even have to load your midi file to a separate track, reaper will support drag and drop from a .mid file.
How do you drag and drop a midi track in Reaper? Glad you asked this question because it is a little know secret. You have to hold the Cntrl-Alt keys while you drag with your mouse. Few people know this little secret.
By the way keep on eye on the Reaper Forum, the SO is likely to get a lot of press.
Hi Music Student thanks for the midi help, I used Spitfire bbc discovery Violin,trumpets and Celeste,also the free labs Chello in my score link below .I used Biab and Arturia also.The free instruments were excellent I have to say ,H . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4zxO7g33_U&t=1s
Re BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover, I can't get the velocity to make a difference to the sound. Whether the velocity is at 127 or 0 the volume is the same. Is this a restriction of the free version or I am being dumb? Mike
