Sonomic: Samples and Sound Effects Downloads

AES 2003, Jacob Javits Center NEW YORK, N.Y, -October 11, 2003- Sonomic (www.sonomic.com/server; booth#254), the premier provider of sound library management solutions, today announced that Ogilvy & Mather has installed the Total Library Server (TLS) v3.1 enterprise sound management system. The TLS enables Ogilvy producers or engineers anywhere in the world to instantly access Ogilvy's entire music and sound effects collections.

"At Ogilvy, we need to turn around projects as fast as possible while still maintaining the highest production standards," says Jay Cagide, Executive Producer at Ogilvy & Mather NY. "The TLS helps us meet these goals by ensuring we can always get the perfect sound or music cue instantly. If it's not in our local library, we get it from Sonomic's online catalog."

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 250,000 sound Sonomic Online Library to Pro Tools (and most other DAWs), create shareable Taglists, and generate Cue Sheet reports. It also boosts 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. These features were especially critical for Ogilvy, with offices in over 75 countries servicing more Fortune Global 500 companies than any other agency.

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

Sound Library Server: 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB RAM

Sonomic Sound Engine™: Search and preview with the fastest and most powerful media search algorithm available - pinpoint accuracy and instant access
