| The whole process is light years beyond using a standard music library. When you consider the enormous effort and expense that goes into most film and video productions, the cost of Sonicfire Pro 4 is peanuts, and the creative possibilities and time-saving dividends it delivers are huge. |

| What I've always loved about the program is how easily it can scale music. You can change the length at any time, and the program creates a new mix. Amazing stuff. Now, with the new features, having multiple tracks and different moods anywhere on a timeline for every track makes this the most flexible music creation program on the market today. No one else is doing this stuff the way SmartSound is, so if you need a dedicated program to create soundtracks you can tweak endlessly, Sonicfire Pro is the one to get. |

| I think its Mood Mapping feature is remarkable, and extends the usability and sophistication of this already-useful tool far beyond what it could do before. Best of all, Sonicfire lets you edit together music of the perfect length very quickly, or you can dig deep and make an intricately fine-tuned musical composition just for your needs. |

Sonicfire Pro 4 may indeed be the future of production library music. It redefines the process of music scoring for a variety of audio-visual purposes by supplying the precise timing, style, and instrument mix of music. You get enough variations and customization options to keep even the most demanding projects and their producers happy. |

| Smart Sound SFP 4 with Mood Mapping affords an impressive amount of control over audio and how it interacts with video, both in duration and in content, and does so quite effectively and economically compared to the alternatives available. |

| Now, none of my 14 students wants to use our current music library because it is not "adaptable enough" to suit their young minds. When you can customize your music to suit any program, why would you ever want to go back and edit the old fashioned way? |

| The bottom line is that Sonicfire Pro 4 really does offer an unprecedented control over the feel, mix and creative input with purchased copyright free music. Sonicfire Pro 4 is one of the more user friendly applications I have ever had the pleasure to use. Learning it is a snap. Never again will I expect to hear the same version of any piece I use in another's film. |

| Sonicfire Pro 4 makes creating royalty-free musical scores simple, and it is an ideal program for corporate video producers and indie filmmakers who don’t have their own composers. With the addition of Mood Mapping and multitracking features, Sonicfire Pro 4 is a significant upgrade from the previous version, and well worth the jump. |

| Sonicfire Pro has been a useful program in the past, but now that it's added the multi-layer support and Mood Mapping, it's become a must own for indie filmmakers – especially at the extremely reasonable price it's now being offered at. Even if you're a purist and have a composer that you want to compose the final mix for you, this program will allow you to create a wonderful pattern for him or her to compose from, yielding a much more satisfactory experience for everyone. |

Mix Certified Hit
Supporting Windows and Macs, SmartSound's Sonicfire Pro 4 software helps users create soundtracks that are custom-fit to videos in just minutes and introduces Mood Mapping. From a Mood Map track, changes in the score's mix are selected, each having individual instrument layers set to different levels, depending on the desired feel. |

| For those who want the maximum flexibility and customization of their selection, the Multilayer feature allows you almost composer-like control over your music. You can choose to edit a specific instrument, instrument groups, or each sound block individually. This is the flexibility that many popular MIDI programs offer, such as Sony Software's Acid and Apple's GarageBand. The key difference is that SF4 requires no musical skills whatsoever. You can re-arrange each block in the almost fool-proof SF4 environment and it will still work musically. |

| The musical transitions sounded as though they were composed by a human, not generated by a computer. Best of all, you can radically alter the length of the composition— say from five minutes to 50 seconds— and still have it sound professional. |
