I've found the trick to this. People don't like to be helpful in public, everybody who comes here, comes here because they are also looking for something, and they seem to get offended when somebody asks them a quesion and acts lke everybody here is just waiting to be consulted. Forums like these (and moreso the forums for geeky things or visual artsy things) are more for people to trade info, not so much ask questions, but rather to discuss things.
But the way around this problem, is to find an ameteur producer who you like, find a specific question, tell them what you like about their track, and ask your question. People seem MUCH more willing to be helpful in private, over im, IRC, email, but not in forums(or some chat rooms)
And its realy easy to track down a person's IM or some way to contact them privately.
But once you have interesting things to talk about, and wanna bouce ideas off of each other, then this forum gets really nice(sometimes), cuz then you get answers to questions you didnt even know you had, which often turn out be more helpful.
