Maybe you should read some articles about equalizing, sound mixing, applying reverb, etc. If you don't adjust your vocal tracks to fit the production style of the underlying music, then it is going to sound like it doesn't belong together. If you write the music yourself, you will know what effects and adjustments you used on the music, thus making it easier to make the vocals sound like a part of the whole.

There are free music programs you can use in the beginning if you don't mind it sound less perfect than professionally produced music. Look into ModPlug Tracker for a good place to start. Also check out albums made by artists on the cheap. Ramona Lisa made the album Arcadia using little more than an iPad, I think, and it sounds great.

But in the end, much like Trollheart is saying, "quality" - in the conventional, mainstream sense, doesn't usually come cheap.
