Alvaro,

If you've found soundfont stuff that meets your needs then that is great!
After all, it's all about enabling us to make the music we choose to. Many
-myself included- have found EP's GC disc to be worth the $$$ we've shelled
out for it because it works for us/me. I will continue to watch to see if
future releases fill my musical needs.

The internet, along with your purchase of sequencer & software sampler, does
not give you the right to *expect* quality source material for free. My time
is important to me. A true sampling purist (the person, not the machine)
would go out and sample their own sounds too. I don't have the time to. How
much is the time have you spent looking for *free* sounds actually cost you?
If you enjoy the quest, then that's fine, but I find there are enough things
that keep me from working with my music as it is.

People of this list (and GC users) have graciously given of their time to
help answer your questions/inform you of their experience. This is the place
to ask questions, promote discussion, etc. but I (personal interpretation
only) am starting to see this as the beginning of a flame; I don't think it
is intended that way......

that's what it could become.
