I've been doing a lot of weeding out VSTs and arriving at a solid arsenal  and Sean Divine's video about his top 10 really helped me. He's using Logic like me, but this should be helpful whatever the DAW you're using. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9xcg383TXs

Amazon: http://amzn.to/2omri5H (supported link - thanks!) So I'm considering this audio interface. I hear good things about it. It has 2 headphone outs.

Google came to mind immediately for me since I've used its royalty-free beds a number of times for my corporate videos. But there are thousands of sources on the interwebs aren't there? Are there?
