Domain Communications Chooses Sonomic TLS
Chicago's Oldest Recording Studio Stays Ahead of the Competition with the Cutting-Edge Audio Asset Management Solution

NEW YORK, N.Y, -February 23, 2005 - Sonomic (www.sonomic.com/server), the premier provider of audio asset management solutions, today announced that Domain Communications has installed the Total Library Server (TLS) v 4.2 enterprise sound management system. The TLS enables Domain's award-winning engineers to instantly access the facility's entire music and sound effects collections, as well as every sound in the 250,000 Sonomic Online Library, including the entire catalogs of Sound Ideas, BBC, and many more. Additional features like seamless project management capabilities and automatic cue sheet reporting will save Domain's staff even more time, letting them focus on continuing to deliver high-quality, creative productions.

"Domain Communications was founded in the 1950's and is the oldest recording studio in Chicago that's still in business," notes Domain Studio Manger Andrew Bee. "A key to our longevity has been constant innovation, so the Sonomic TLS media management system is the perfect fit for us. In addition to managing our music and sound libraries, it goes a step further than other systems by letting us get new sounds instantly from Sonomic's online database. Domain's focus is spoken word, and now with the added capability and functionality of the TLS, Domain continues to be on the cutting edge of Audio Theater and enhanced audio book production."

Adam Strauss, CEO of Sonomic, adds: "You don't thrive for fifty years in an industry as volatile as this one by luck. Domain has been a leader for so long because they've always kept ahead of the curve. The TLS will help ensure this trend continues, by providing Domain's engineers with the sounds and music they need - both for today and tomorrow. With the TLS, a single keystroke downloads new sounds from the Sonomic Online Library and automatically databases these sounds locally, so Domain can continuously update their library without the hassle and expense of constantly buying CDs."

The TLS v 4.2 allows any engineer to search for, audition, and import any music cue or sound in their studio’s library or the Sonomic Online Library to Pro Tools and most other DAWs, create shareable Taglists, and generate Cue Sheet reports. It also boasts functionality specifically designed for larger and multi-site facilities, including advanced network management, extensive usage reporting by user, client, or facility, and full remote access from any computer with an internet connection.
