newb - making my own epic cinema?

[Bansaw]

I'd like to make my own ambient epic cinema tracks. I heard you can buy loops etc for this.
What software would you use? I have FCP's Soundtrack so far.

The artists I like are:
Lisa Gerrard - Gladiator
Williams - Star Wars
Shore - Lord of the Rings etc....

Thanks,,

might want to clarify what you are looking to do. "epic cinema" basically means a great movie. what is it you want?

[Bansaw]

Epic cinema style is normally orchestral in nature (eg: Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Gladiator). Powerful sweeping tracks.
Type in Epic Cinema soundtracks in google and you'll get things like Gladiator, Titanic, Schindlers list, Platoon, etc etc.

so... buy the movies and cut out the tracks you like with dvdshrink, put them into the order you wish and author a new dvd? or if you want just the music buy the movie soundtrack cds and make your own playlist.
