Hi falcon1az,
I think one thing that you need to take into account is that this is a general, open forum with a broad range of participants ranging from totally casual members, who perhaps have little or no musical experience and are just 'social' visitors, all the way to professional musicians who rely on music for their livelihood. This other end of the scale invests heavily in developing and producing music products at a much more commercial level. They rely on a return on their investment for their survival.

There's plenty of free stuff out there, it may be low grade but also may do the job you want.

There's also higher level material available, but it comes at a price.

The choice is yours, but it's perhaps wrong to not take into account that there is a cost already involved in producing a professional product when someone suggests that they cannot provide it to you for free. They are generally justifying that they cannot provide it as a freebie, together with reasons.

Also, please don't be too offended because one person used the term 'freeloaders'. Many have tried to assist and explain their unique situations in detail, and additionally others have offered possible no cost solutions in an effort to help you.

Good luck with your music.
