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 with the most expensive tools, it can 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.
When you export a SmartSound music track as a .WAV or .AIF 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 function no differently from any other .WAV or .AIF. 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 your 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 is impossible with any other music library solution.
 Whether you’re developing animation sequences or cutting picture to the beat of the music, the Maestro is there to help. Not only will the Maestro help you quickly find the best track to drive your visuals, but it will also tell you the basic editing lengths to keep your visuals in sync with the beat of the music. Thanks Maestro! That’s helpful.
 The Network version is designed specifically for busy post production teams with multiple editors and a shared storage server. In addition to allowing the music to be centrally accessible to all editors, the network version is also the only way to get the new SmartSound Express Track and features that help organization and cue sheet reporting. Purchase a license for each workstation and your editors will be more productive than ever before.
Most music libraries provide some type of search engine for finding music. SmartSound is the only music library that goes beyond basic searching and offers a whole new level of customization.

| The new Express Track feature that comes with Sonicfire Pro 4.5 Network Edition is a powerful search engine that includes the power of SmartSound customization for mind-blowing music results. |
- Pick your own length – Instead of the limited set of broadcast lengths offered by the typical library, Express Track lets you specify any length you need.
- Select a variation – Express Track always gives you a list of musical arrangements that fit within the length you’ve specified.
- Select a Mood – Since SmartSound’s Multi-Layer Music sees all of the instruments separately, you can select a preset Mood which adjusts the instrument mix to give you a different feel from the same song. You can also manually eliminate an instrument that is not working right in your scene.
The Network Edition supports the installation of music from a hard drive. If you're getting started with a lot of music, ask us how we can save you time by delivering the music on hard drive. Only available for large quantity music purchase.
There’s no cost to get your BackStage Pass and the benefits start immediately. Once you register to get your BackStage Pass, you’ll immediately receive a free music single download worth $20.
