Andy,

Sounds like a good selection; all newer sounds. Are you having all six sounds put on one or two frames? The sounds you've selected would probably blend well on the 6-track frame if that's what you're planning. One sound I really like is Gothic. It's really a massive sound. I wish I still had it, but I plan on getting it again in the future.
