Free prog vsti recommendations?

Hi,

I have wondered about that ... sort of like a lot of the games in the market, that have the same "engine" for its start, and then are saddled with its limitations. This was much more visible 20 years ago, when all the engines for new games copied EQ. I can not say the same thing about VST's but I always wondered why they sounded so similar, when to me, a lot of the real instruments did not sound that ... poor!

I have used a few things ... IKT had that Philharmonic thing and it was really nice, with one problem ... using more than one item in their program meant that you had to know a lot more about music ... and it meant learning the geek stuff ... I still don't know how to use 2 or 3 different things from that program using different midi this or that bs! And, guess what ... no one can help you because most of them don't know it either!

It ended up being a frustrating money ripper.

Heck, I had Sonar X, and at one time Abelton Live 8 ... and I still could not record something then play something along with it and record it at the same time ... it got to be that I gave up ... I can still play things on my own, and love my trusty Jupiter 8-V (Arturia) for a lot of sounds and creative bruhaha, but some of these sounds are just sitting there ... I can do poetry over them, I can do some other music with it on my ear phones, but still can not record with them on. I guess geekery is not for me! Fudge on VST's and a lot of that crap of programs that are not for musicians ... I don't think!
