Now that is clever enough, but you can also stretch or shrink a piece to match the length of a video clip without simply chopping the end of the piece off or having a fudgy sort of fade out. Showing Variations of a piece of music Showing Moods of a piece of music To do this, Sonicfire Pro incorporates two systems – Variations where the style of music can be altered and Mood Mapping whereby you can select different “moods” from a piece of a music to play at a specific time, and switch between available moods in that piece at will. As the scene progresses, more and more are added to build to a crescendo. Perhaps the strings, or just the percussion. This means that you have the ability to switch layers on and off thus changing what instruments make up a section – a block – of a piece.įor example, you might want to have a piece of music play all the way through a scene, but at the start of it, only have a subset of the complete instrument collection in that piece playing. You see, they are not simply an audio track this is simplistic I know but think of each piece being built up in terms of blocks and layers with a block being a section of the music and a layer being an instrument or even group of instruments. Integral to a lot of the functionality of Sonicfire Pro music / effects tracks is the way they are “built”.
Variations, Mood Mapping, Timing Control and more … Let’s look at a few of the special features of Sonicfire Pro 6.4 one by one.
Now on the surface, Sonicfire Pro looks like an app where you browse through a music / sound effects library previewing pieces until you find one you like, purchase it and then download the full version and away you go.Īnd if you think that is all it is, you are very, very wide of the mark trust me.
It is called Smartsound Sonicfire Pro, and a new update to version 6.4 has just been released. But there is another way.Īnd I like it a lot and have done so for many years. If you look, Facebook film / video making groups and their like are full of requests for “where to get good royalty-free music” (which is often misunderstood as being simply “free” which of course it is not). So, if I want a specific piece of music, I can ask Jacqui to put something together on her iMac using her fancy, shmancy keyboards and Apple’s ProLogic software, and hey presto, more often than not, a short time later I have an original piece I can use. Now I am lucky enough to have Jacqui by my side who is a trained musician and musical teacher and to boot an awesome composer.
We often bang on about how important audio quality is in any video project – unless you are making a silent movie of course.īut one area that we haven’t touched on a great deal is that of music in video (as against a music video you understand). Want decent music for your videos but can’t score a note? Sonicfire Pro brings out the latent musical editor in you. A great intro to the EOS R world for those jumping to it.
