Sonomic: Samples and Sound Effects Downloads

NEW YORK, N.Y, -August 2, 2004 - Sonomic (www.sonomic.com/server), the premier provider of audio asset management solutions, today announced that Video Helper has installed the Total Library Server (TLS) v4.0 enterprise sound management system. Video Helper is well known for their cutting edge Video Helper Music Library and totally unique Noise Generator sound FX collection, both of which are heavily used by all major television networks and featured in many high-profile film trailers and television commercials. The TLS enables Video Helper's composers and sound designers to instantly access the entire Video Helper and Noise Generator libraries, as well as every sound in the 250,000 Sonomic Online Library, featuring Sound Ideas, BBC, and many more.

"I've tried other library server management products," says Stewart Winter, President of Video Helper. "But we felt that Sonomic's TLS offered great performance and reliability -- and the interface is so easy and friendly we actually have a roomful of chimps using the system. We work with several of providers of library server management products, but this is only one we bought to manage our own libraries in-house."

Adam Strauss, CEO of Sonomic, adds: "Since Video Helper produces some of the most acclaimed music and sound FX libraries around, they have a unique understanding of how best to organize and search audio production assets. The fact that they entrusted the TLS to do this for their own content in-house is a great validation of our technology."

The TLS v4.0 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.

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