No matter what level of television you are involved in, music is a key element for your productions. But the nature of most television requires an emphasis on speed and cost-efficiency. In some cases, maybe too often, this comes at the expense of the quality of the music scores used, which can diminish the value of the overall production.
SmartSound’s technology benefits television producers and editors by giving you enhanced creative options through our patented music technology that delivers multiple musical variations of every track and the new Mood Mapping feature in Sonicfire Pro 4, which allows details control of the instruments in a Multi-Layer music track. And this is all done without adding additional steps into your workflow – in fact, SmartSound can improve your workflow in many cases and reduce the time you spend working to match up the music score and the rest of the production. |

Multiple Versions of Music at Any Length: Whether you need music at a standard length (such as 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds) or at a precise, unusual length, SmartSound will give you a track that meets your time requirements. And at each length, you will be presented with around 7-10 different arrangements of the track. This gives you enormous flexibility in finding a music score that matches your production. |

|
Mood Mapping Gives You Enhanced Creative Control: Along with the different arrangements, Sonicfire Pro 4 gives you access to Mood Mapping, a powerful new feature that allows you to match the mix of instrument levels to the mood of your production through a single Mood Map Track. This puts almost limitless options in terms of setting the tone of your music score right at your fingertips for immediate access. |

Maintain Financial Control While Meeting Quality Expectations: As important as music is for television productions, financial considerations are often a major factor when dealing with the music score. SmartSound’s solutions make financial sense because once you purchase a track from our library, you never have to worry about paying annual or needledrop fees, like most other production music library solutions. SmartSound increases the value of your production without increasing the costs. |
