Legendary Entertainment Company Upgrades from Competitor’s Product with 50 Seat Installation

(September 18, 2006) — Sonomic (www.sonomic.com), the premier provider of audio asset management solutions, today announced that NBC Universal Studios has installed the Total Library Server (TLS) v 5.4 enterprise sound management system at its Burbank production center. The TLS enables NBC editors to instantly access their entire music and sound effects collections, as well as every sound in the 250,000 Sonomic Online Library, featuring Sound Ideas, BBC, and many more.

Though NBC already had a competitive sound management product, the TLS’s unparalleled performance and features convinced the studio to make the switch. “NBC approached us looking for a true turnkey system,” says Sonomic CEO Adam Strauss. “Seamless integration with all 50 of their Pro Tools and Avid workstations was of course a must, but they also wanted to accelerate workflow and streamline administration. With features such as advanced project management capabilities, automatic cue sheet reporting, and an administrative interface that simplifies control over everything from permission levels to usage monitoring, the TLS delivered exactly what NBC needed.”

The TLS v 5.4 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 and most other DAWs, 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 v 5.4 includes:

• Sound Library Server: Powerful Dell PowerEdge or Apple Xserve
  
• TLS v 5.4 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 waveform overviews and region selection.
    
  • Taglists: 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, and shared with other users.
    
  • Cue Sheets: Automatically generate standard cue sheet reports with a single click.
    
  • MasterSound™: Classify and upload your own music and sounds. Automatically rip commercial sound libraries to your TLS database.
  • $1,000 Download Credit to the 250,000 sound (and growing) Sonomic Online Library, featuring Sound Ideas, BBC, Clack and more. Update your library automatically – never buy another CD
