Good on you, people who realise that they may have been wrong about something are extremely rare on the internet these days 
I’ll have to applaud that.
Anyway, I’m glad you found the solutions to your problems in the end, even if not through these forums.
If you ever run into a problem again, don’t be afraid to post your question here. There will be a pack of wolves ready to tear you apart 
.
In all seriousness, most people on here are very nice and likeminded musicians/audio engineers. Sure, there may be some who come across as blunt and disrespectful, but that’s a minority and I like to believe it’s not so different from any other user forum.
Best of luck to you, whether you decide to return here or not!
(PS: as convenient as quick and easy answers might be, putting some effort in yourself might sometimes prove to be more rewarding in the end, and you might learn some more in the process. Just a thought)
