I joined today solely because of this thread. Thank you callitsleep89 so much for posting it.
I also listen to soundtracks quite a bit, even if I disliked the movie. I've always wanted to know where to get heavy, rolling drum sounds, like in Sword of the Stranger. Thank you Rich and Tweek for your examples. I will browse those links you mentioned. BTW, I'm also in love with the strings in Rich's first example and tweek's second example. The only strings I currently have are free ones from FruityLoops and Hammersound. Sorry, I don't mean to gush and tell you guys what you already know: that's really impressive stuff. Maybe I should poke my head around here more often with tips like these!
