I was introduced to IK Multimedia before ever getting 'stuck-in' on the whole realm of playing e-drums. I was simply (and blindly) shopping around for idea on making my own soundtracks for movies I'm endeavoring to create.
So I ended up grabbing the original (now there's a newer one) 5.1 surround Miroslav Philharmonik, which is absolutely incredible. I ended up grabbing Magix MusicMaker Premium, back when it wasn't free, along with a bunch of Sound Pools. Not the best way to go about getting into DAWs, to be sure... but it did give me some fun in just putting together all manner of loops to create songs. But that's not really want I want as my end goal.
So now that I have my Alesis kit, my mind starts to evolve around the idea of using my kit as the controller of a DAW to orchestrate these sounds. That, my friend, would be a blast!
Anyway, yeah... I'll be looking into this whole SampleTank thing. I'm not in a huge hurry to be doing this stuff, but I do want to get there eventually
