New Indie Film Music Pack Gives Filmmakers a Head Start

September 12, 2005 --For $499, filmmakers receive 25 individual, royalty-free music tracks and the powerful Sonicfire Pro software with training CD; one lucky filmmaker will win an $11,000 "SmartSound Indie Film Studio"

WHAT: SmartSound's new Indie Film Music Pack gives independent filmmakers the creative flexibility and control to get a powerful, professional-quality music score for a small cost. Priced at just $499, it includes the SmartSound Sonicfire Pro software and a choice of any 25 royalty-free tracks from SmartSound's library of more than 1,200 cuts. Sonicfire Pro helps filmmakers tailor the tracks to fit the exact length and mood needed to score a scene. And because the tracks are royalty-free, the rights are cleared from festival screenings to theatrical or DVD releases.

The Indie Film Music Pack also includes a free copy of the Sonicfire Pro Training CD. This includes 90 minutes of step-by-step instruction on creating award-winning soundtracks with Sonicfire Pro, along with four bonus music tracks.

WHY: The SmartSound Indie Film Music Pack provides filmmakers with the ideal foundation when scoring their films for a low one-time cost. The ability to preview every track from SmartSound's vast royalty-free music library and download any 25 cuts ensures that the filmmaker will get exactly the right music for their scenes. The Sonicfire Pro software presents the user with multiple edits of each track at any length needed. As filmmakers make changes to their movies throughout the creative process, Sonicfire Pro allows them to quickly and efficiently re-edit their musical scores to match these revisions.
