Sonomic Announces Total Library Server v 3.0


Musikvergnuegen, The Farm and Advantage Audio Among First Post Studios to Install Enhanced v3.0 Sound Library Management System


NAB 2003, Las Vegas Convention Center, NV, Booth SL103– April 5, 2003 - Sonomic (www.sonomic.com), ), the premier provider of sound library management solutions, today announced its enhanced version 3.0 TLS sound library management system. The TLS v 3.0 allows any engineer to search for, audition, and import any sound or music cue in their studio's library and includes advanced DAW integration and workflow optimization features. Among the first to install the new v3.0 TLS system are Musikvergnuegen, LA's premier music house (Artificial Intelligence, Spiderman, From Dusk 'Til Dawn) , The Farm, the largest audio post facility in Ireland (Guinness, Sony, Ulysses, New York Stories), and Advantage Audio, the 2002 Emmy-award winning post studio (Men In Black, Spawn, Jumanji).


"One of our first projects using Sonomic's TLS v 3.0 was a Mastercard spot, 'Escape Artist' for McCann Erickson/NY," said Walter Werzowa, Musikvergnuegen's award-winning founder/senior composer. "With the entire world of music and sound effects libraries at our fingertips, not only did we reduce our production time - we also were able to take the creative aspect of our sound design to the next level. The TLS has quickly become an essential part of our workflow."


Beyond searching in-house libraries, the TLS gives any engineer the ability to search, audition and import from the 200,000 sound (and growing) Sonomic Online Library, featuring Sound Ideas, the BBC, Serafine, Zero?G, Q Up Arts, Valentino, and many others. Waveform overviews, region selection, taglists, quickeys, and a host of other features save time and let engineers stay focused on creating instead of searching.


The TLS v3.0 offers many enhancements to previous versions including complete integration of all searching, auditioning, importing and library mastering into one intuitive interface, the ability to spot sounds to track directly from Sonomic's Online Library, the MasterSound™ upload wizard, automatic cue sheet generation, Pro Tools 6/OS X compatibility and a host of other efficiency-driven features.


The TLS starts at USD $7,995 and comes with the following:

  • Sound Library Server: 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB RAM
  • TLS v 3.0 Client Software:
    • Sonomic Sound Engine™: Search and preview with the fastest and most powerful media search algorithm available - pinpoint accuracy and instant access
    • DAW Integration: Spot/Import sounds directly into Pro Tools™ and most other audio/video software. Includes waveforms overviews and region selection.
    • Taglist: Organize your sounds by project, date, producer, client, and more. You can rename files, change descriptions, and add your own notes. Taglists can be saved, recalled, printed, even emailed.
    • MasterSound™: Classify and upload your own sounds and music. Automatically rip commercial sound libraries to your TLS database.
  • Unlimited Access to the 200,000 sound (and growing) Sonomic Online Library for one year, featuring Sound Ideas, BBC, Zero-G and more: update your library automatically - never buy another CD
  • Unlimited 24/7 Tech Support including free software upgrades and data backup


"With the TLS v 3.0, all of our Pro Tools rigs are now equipped with simple, seamless access to any sound imaginable Both our engineers and clients absolutely love it and as result it has become a centerpiece for our facility," commented Locky Butler, The Farm's Director of Audio.


"Sonomic's TLS is by far the best sound management solution for our television and film post work" said Bill Koepnick, President and Director of Editorial Operations for Advantage Audio.
