Who We Are

SmartSound Software was founded to respond to a very specific and rapidly growing market need. Fueled by the explosive growth of the multimedia and video industries, the SmartSound product line was created to put into the hands of the average visual creator the ability to add the power, impact and emotion of high-quality music soundtracks customized to their project. These audio products were the very first on the market to focus exclusively on the needs of visual creators as opposed to musicians or audio engineers.

The company is comprised of music and technology experts who merge and blend their respective experiences and unique know-how to create the unique product line that has benefited tens of thousands of visually creative people. This team is driven to continue defining this segment for the rest of the industry and leading its evolution well into the future.

What We Do

Simply put, SmartSound has created a unique, patented technology that allows the user to easily and quickly manipulate music content in certain key ways, so that it can better fit a visual sequence. When music is customized to fit a visual sequence, that sequence is significantly enhanced and has much more impact than a scene with either no music, or music that is just simply attached as is.

This SmartSound technology needs certain music, which is "enabled" to work with its system. It's this unique combination of patented technology and music designed to work with it, that results in such power and ease for the creative user. All SmartSound technology products are based on this combined system.

The SmartSound product line includes the following software and audio content:
