i think alot of people overestimate the power of "good plugins". when youre new enough at this, you dont even NEED "good" samples because youll likely not even know how to use them or make them fit well anyways. maybe instead, you could experiment with various free samplers, synths and soundfonts until you find some plugins that you enjoy using. It probably sounds like useless information, but i think its not always about the samples or synths specifically, but just how you use them in a mix. experiment and ask for feedback!
also, this source is bonkers, im having a good time with this.
