About the Magnatune site, maaaan, its so useful! Grab some names and study their sounds...
I'd like to know a thing. All artists create their own ''track'' on the sonar or they use the plugins/loops that are offered ??

You don't have to use Samplitude for live instruments. You can use Sonar as well. I just prefer the way Samplitude works, but any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) will do the job.
You can use the plug-ins and loops if you want, but what happens is that everyone starts using them and then everything starts sounding the same - like a lot of movie soundtracks these days (especially action films). Use them to learn but eventually you will probably want to create your own sounds. They are good for the learning process but after that my advice would be to start developing your own sounds from scratch. It takes a lot longer but it is far more rewarding. That's why the most memorable movie soundtracks are the truly original ones.
