Best way to get a software instrument into Audition?
I want to put together several versions of a song that will have guitar backing (real recordings by me) with overlays of wind instruments, particularly flute. My partner will be doing the simple flute parts with a real flute, but when it comes to the more complicated solo flute segments – in a separate version of the same song – I may have to use a software flute, or other woodwind. And I want the best, outside of using a real instrument.
GarageBand offers software instruments, but I'd rather not have it cluttering my system. So my questions are:
1. Are there plugins for Audition that allow software instruments to be played?
2. What alternatives are there to Garageband for playing and recording software instruments?
3. Any suggestions for a USB keyboard, compatible with Audition, that has inbuilt software instruments, or third-party instruments, for generating realistic woodwind sounds? I'd prefer each note to have been individually recorded – and not synthesised from, say, one primary note.
