We reviewed the $499 version that came with five music CDs. This means a minimum outlay of $299 and includes two music CDs.

Once you are ready to make some money, you are definitely going to need 44kHz media and the proper license to use the music.

There is a free demo version and there are a number of lite versions that ship with video editors. The price range for getting into Sonicfire is very broad. You get high quality buyout music with arrangements in a variety of styles and genres, all with customizable durations to fit any project. SmartSound offers users the best of both worlds. Further, buyout music limits you in duration and style, and it can be tricky to make the music fit the length of your project. Some buyout music is fully orchestrated, but many libraries are composed and performed on synthesizers and do not sound at all realistic. If you need music that’s guaranteed to sound good, and you need it fast, Sonicfire wins hands down.īuyout music has the potential to beat Sonicfire in the quality department as well, but only if you shop carefully. If you have a good ear and can piece individual loops into 8-bar phrases, chord progressions, intros, breaks and decisive conclusions, you’ll very likely enjoy the many hours you’ll spend using a loop-based music tool. You can find drum loops from Mick Fleetwood, acoustic winds from Bill Laswell, heavy funk from George Clinton and real symphonic samples from starving classical musicians. Loop-based tools, such as Sonic Foundry’s ACID (recently acquired by Sony), have the potential to beat Sonicfire in the quality department.

It isn’t at all fair to compare Sonicfire soundtracks to those from Aaron Copland, Andre Previn or John Williams, so what should you compare it to? Sonicfire Pro doesn’t fit cleanly into either of the two common categories: loop-based music creation tools and buyout music. The drums occasionally sounded artificial and wind instruments were sometimes noticeably synthetic, but on the whole, we were pleased with the quality of the instrumentation.
Some of the music we previewed came right from the Music Bakery, which is a major player in the buyout music biz. Sonicfire tracks rely heavily on synthesized instruments, but the quality is very good and there are quite a few acoustics in the mix as well.
The music that you get from Sonicfire Pro is intended to be background music, which is exactly what videographers will use it for. This music isn’t likely to earn a Grammy or an Oscar for Best Original Soundtrack, but it does evoke the right mood for a video music bed or film score.

Sonicfire Pro soundtracks are 44kHz CD-quality, which is noticeably better than the home-movie oriented 22kHz Movie Maestro product.

The coordinated soundtrack gave the show a unified and professional feel. For example, we created a solid 30-second intro for our project that ended with an upbeat bang just before our narrator turned to the camera with a warm "Welcome to the Show." Between segments, we were able to use different elements from the same piece as segues into the various parts of the program and, finally, we created a longer and steadier variation for the closing credits. At the same time, it also gives you a surprising amount of flexibility. This modular paradigm makes song creation very easy and very nearly foolproof. You can build your own song from scratch or use them to add onto the current song. Each element is self-sufficient and can be used by itself to some extent. This larger block is made up of smaller blocks, that users can sort and adjust however they like.
Users can change the duration by simply dragging the edges of the block. The soundtrack appears as a single block that matches whatever duration you want. The selected tune opened in the timeline, matching our specified duration precisely. We then used the SmartSound Maestro to select a broad style category and a specific song title. While this takes a little time and occupies some considerable space on the drive, it makes the program much faster. We ran the program and then used its library management tool to import a SmartSound Palette CD-ROM to our hard disk drive. First, we installed the small (16MB) Sonicfire Pro apps on our WinXP machine.
