Hi, my name is Jose, and I'm new to the forum, so I hope everyone is doing well, that the post is in the right place and that it doesn't break any rules.
I've read a lot of posts about Windows and Mac, but the part that interested me is that many claim that Mac is the best for music producers because the plugins are accessible. So I decided to register on the forum to ask them: which plugins are accessible? At least Kontakt isn't, unless you have their keyboard, but I honestly don't plan on buying it. So, which vst do you use? Especially for instruments.
I would like to add that I use Reaper on Windows, and the accessibility is bad but acceptable. But since I read very good opinions about accessibility on Mac for musicians, I wonder if there are more accessible plugins on Mac because the truth is that on Windows they are almost not, or at least you need some visual help.
I appreciate everyone's help and answers.

Some plug ins are accessible, and some are not. Go to logic.band and email cookie monster (Steve Martin) to find out which are accessible.
Smile. Good luckd!

Depends on the jaw
This largely depends on the daw you’re using. I.e, i have found that most pluggins are accessible via logic and reaper, while these same pluggins are not accessible in pro tools. However, if you can, i'd recommend getting into music composition, go for a komplete kontrol keyboard. For production... I cant help much there but, this largely depends on the daw your using if pluggins will be accessible or not. As said reaper and logic, most pluggins are accessible right out of the box, which won't be the case in pro tools if you use these same pluggins, you'll need to rely on vocr if you want to access them.
Speaking of daw, I have…
Speaking of daw, I have reaper and garageband. Is there a similar option low cost for amateurs? Like I've heard only great thing about them but I won't spend $700 or so on a professional grade device just to discover and have fun with it for 4 months only. Thanks! Sorry if it's off topic just pm me with any suggestions. (as long as the company software to modify the firmware on the hardware has a decent level of accessibility)
I only use reaper
i only use reaper, and i honestly don't plan on buying the komplete kontrol keyboard, because i think i can do the same things with other vst's other than kontakt, and if i need little visual help to load some kontakt library i can do it with my wife but, in reality i would like to avoid it. that's why i ask you if you use or know of vst's accessible with reaper and voiceover, as i indicated before. pianos, guitars, and others. by the way, can the mainstage instruments be loaded in reaper? by the way excuse me if my english is not good, i'm actually using google to translate.
