Are we not *musicians?* I think it's amazing that you people would even
consider *buying* a sample library, rather than simply *creating it
ourselves.* I know we're all busy in our lives, so it is difficult to find
the time to do such things. But surely we should be able to make this
happen. If the members of the Hydrogen community were more supportive of
each other's music, that would generate the enthusiasm necessary to
motivate people to contribute more to the community. For example, hundreds
of our people have listened to the tracks I have made with Hydrogen *(on my
SoundCloud page),* yet not one of them has left a comment or a "like" on
any of my tracks, and only one person has ever left a comment in the
Hydrogen Forum. If I had received any kind of support or encouragement
over the years from the members of this community, I would right now be
saying "I will create the excellent sample library we need." But I have
not received any feedback, at all, so I'm instead saying "I'll think about
doing it, and maybe I'll find the time."
