The Challenge
Most audio formats are only saving the waveform data for a given song.   That means when editors need to make a change to the music, they are faced with the challenge of manipulating the waveform with basic audio editing tools.  Even if they had the most expensive tools it could still be impossible to do things like, remove an offending instrument from the song.
The Solution
Sonicfire Pro 4.5 users can now create and modify Smart Recall .WAV and .AIF files.

Instead of opening the file in an audio wave editor, Smart Recall files can be opened by Sonicfire Pro 4.5 and edited like never before.

  • Change the length
  • Change the arrangement
  • Change the instrument mix

…and save the new .WAV or .AIF with your changes and use it in ANY program.  Does your music library give you this level of control?

Inside Smart Recall
When you export a SmartSound music track as a .WAV or .AIFF file using Smart Recall, important SmartSound information is hidden in a safe area within the file.   Don’t worry, the integrity of the file remains intact so these files appear and function no differently from any other .WAV or .AIFF.  When a Smart Recall file is opened by SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 4.5 or Express Track®, instead of just showing the waveform data, the Smart Recall data is extracted from the file and you SmartSound program brings you back to the project that originally created that file.  This makes it incredibly easy to make quick changes to the length, arrangement and instrument mix of the file.  This capability impossible with any other music library solution…yet another reason to get SmartSound working for you today.
Roundtrip Music Editing in FCP
Since Final Cut Pro allows you to open its music tracks in a selected editor, a Smart Recall file on the timeline is ready to be customized by any Sonicfire Pro 4.5 user in your organization.  Simply select “Open in Editor” to open a Smart Recall file in Sonicfire Pro 4.5.  Once you’ve made your fine-tuning, just overwrite the file with your new changes and you’re all done.  Final Cut automatically recognizes your changed file and updates your sequence.
The Smart Recall Workflow
The amazing capability of Smart Recall opens the door for new efficient ways of working together.   Here are just some scenarios possible with Smart Recall.
  • Automatic organization – Since the essential project information is part of every export file, there’s no need to save and organize separate project files.  Simply opening the .WAV or .AIFF in SmartSound will put you right into the project
  • The Handoff – If your editing team is setup with Sonicfire Pro 4.5 for Networks, any editor will be able to pickup a Smart Recall music file and immediately start making any necessary fine-tuning adjustments.
  • The Right Tool for The Job – If your video projects get sent to audio post production, Sonicfire Pro 4.5 for Networks is a great solution.  The video editor can use the fast Express Track search and customize process to get the music tracks they need.  Since Express Track supports Smart Recall, the SmartSound music files in your project can be opened inside Sonicfire Pro 4.5 for more advanced editing and fine-tuning by your audio editors.
 
  Gnarly!  This gives me way more control than trying to fix up music edits with other library music.;
