With a new multitrack mixing interface and added support for the latest SmartSound Multi-Layer Music, editors can orchestrate sophisticated music tracks that would otherwise require a professional music editor or composer.

Mood Mapping

With Mood Mapping, you define your emotional and structural requirements for a scene as a Mood Map along the timeline in Sonicfire Pro. With this technology, any SmartSound "Multi-Layer" Music track will fit the length from beginning to end and it will arrange your music to best match the changes in your video. This new level of flexibility and immediate results will deliver the ultimate emotional impact for your production.

Multitrack Interface

Sonicfire Pro combines the intelligence of SmartSound technology with a multitrack mixing environment for the fastest way to a custom-fit music score. In addition to dynamically adjusting the musical elements based on your Mood Map, Sonicfire Pro also gives you full control over each individual musical element. Duck the horns out here, punch up the strings there…whatever you need to get maximum impact, Sonicfire Pro gives you the tools to easily make the best of every SmartSound Music track.

SmartSound Multi-Layer Music

SmartSound has innovated the SmartSound Music library by adding Multi-Layer music tracks in the new Strata Series.
