What I mean is: Instead of spending $325 for Studio One Professional 2
and then having to spend a lot of time shopping for maybe another $325
to add more instrument sounds to Stuido One for a total of about maybe
$700 or $800, can't I just buy insturment sounds to add to Garageband
for less money than that, since I'm being advised strongly here not to
change my music-making program.

I don't like most of the sounds that come with Garageband and
Mainstage, so I'm looking for a better package of instrument sounds
that I can add to Garageband, if that's feasible.

Got it!
I would spend the money on sounds and instruments.

The included sounds with just about every DAW are variable.
Some are really good and others not so much.
Also it depends upon what kind of music you are creating.
Someone doing jazz or classical might want realistic sounding
instruments vs someone doing electronic music might want sounds that
don't sound realistic but are unique.

I'm looking a splendid sound library for a variety of realistic and
unique sounds for a variety of genres Ð orchestral, classical guitars,
brass, choir, electronic, soft rock, hard rock, new wave, folk,
ambient, funk, hip-hop, jazz, house, rap, reggae, country,
experimental, disco, blues, etcetera.
