I need help! Can't get Reaper to see the Spitfire BBC orchestra.
Hey there people! I am painfully new to music and composition, but I've played around for a bit and want to compose some music using Spitfires BBC orchestra Symphony Discover sounds.
I downloaded the library last month, moved the files to Programs > Common Files > VST. Moved them out. Moved them in. Updated the file path of Reaper to find them. Nothing. Downloaded Native instruments. Nothing. Re-installed the spitfire library. Nothing. I've done everything short of throw my laptop and piano out of my building.
Honestly, I'm at the end of my rope here. All I wanted to do was make some music with these delightful sounds, but for the life of me, they will not show up in Reaper no matter what I do. I feel like I'm missing something, but I'm getting lost in all the DAW jargon. Do I need another program to play them? Do I need to install something else into Reaper so it can see the NKL files? Most people say a virtual instrument needs to be something like .vst, but they won't show up like that.
(I'm using windows, btw!) Some help would be SO appreciated!!!! Honestly, nothing has made me feel so dumb XD
