Aaron/Stokes Music Chooses Sonomic TLS
Sonomic prevails in rigorous head-to-head competitive product shootout.


NEW YORK, N.Y, -March 1, 2004 - Sonomic (www.sonomic.com), the premier provider of sound library management solutions, today announced that Aaron/Stokes Music, one of the Midwest's leading post production facilities, has installed the Total Library Server (TLS) v3.1 enterprise sound management system. The TLS enables Aaron/Stokes' award-winning engineers to instantly access the facility's entire music and sound effects collections, as well as every sound in the 250,000 sound Sonomic Online Library, including the entire catalogs of Sound Ideas, BBC, and many more.


Aaron/Stokes engineers carefully evaluated several sound library management products before making a decision. Products were tested for speed, ease of use, stability, and reliability. In every category, Sonomic came out on top. In addition, only the TLS offered Aaron/Stokes the ability to update their local library without the time and expense of buying new CDs and ripping them to the database. With a single keystroke, the TLS will automatically download new sounds from the Sonomic Online Library and database these sounds to the local library, where they are permanently stored for future use.


"Sonomic represents the cornerstone of a complete technology overhaul for Aaron/Stokes, so we were very methodical in investigating and testing everything out there," says Brad Stokes, CEO of Aaron/Stokes. "Sonomic excelled in all our tests, and also offered us the ability to customize a solution for our specific needs. And of course a big factor was the fact that when we need a sound we don't already have, we can get it instantly from the Sonomic Online Library." Stokes adds, "In addition to the technology, it was the people at Sonomic and their interest in what we're trying to do with the TLS that put it over the top. They have been great to work with!"


The TLS v3.1 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, 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.
