I downloaded Musio and it has AMAZING sounds but I cannot find ANYTHING explaining how to use it in their websites (including support) from googling, scouring YouTube- it’s reviews on it yay whatever where they show the standalone or it being recorded on a Daw WITHOUT ONE SINGLE WORD ON HOW TO ACCESS IT FROM ANY DAW!!
I would deeply appreciate some guidance- I’m a soundtrack composer with total writers block- the sounds in musio broke me out of it but my ableton has NO idea it exists.
There are NO MANUALS ON HOW TO WORK IT IN A DAW please anyone I would deeply appreciate k owing how to use it AS A TRACK IN ABLETON.
I have a vast resource of knowledge I will offer to others. Anything from symphonic composition to how to use mastering widgets but here I am stuck and I REALLY need some help please!!!
Thank you so much

Don't know anything about Musio but just looked and looks like it could be an alternative to Kontakt.
Looking at the specs it installs as an AU and/or VST3 plugin. Do you see it in the list of available plugins?

The install and general use is pretty simple. You run the installer and the plugin should show up in Ableton on the list. Then you drop it on the track and select instrument. The problems start whan you want to map the prestes (knobs etc). I have not figure out the way to do it. Standard procedure does not work. IF this is not workign I am about to quite using it, despite great sounds.

A couple questions:
Are you able to use Musio in standalone mode? because if you haven't had success with that, then you likely haven't downloaded any sounds into Musio. Musio doesn't automatically download it's entire library (thankfully IMO) so you need to individually download the sounds into Musio.
If you are able to play sounds in standalone, are you just not finding Musio in the list of plugins in Live? This might be a settings issue in Live. You can turn of AU and VST 3 in the Settings / Plugins section, it might be that VST3 is off and VST2 isn't loaded if you're on PC for instance.
More information on what is wrong is needed.

The workaround I found for mapping is putting Musio in a rack with the cc control device. this lets you control most things inside Musio.
