Sonicfire Pro for Windows

User Reviews

• SonicFire Pro 6 is headed in the right direction.

  Pros

  Instead of 5 or 6 windows opening at start-up, there's only one. It is much nicer. Placement of features and tools is convenient. SmartSound is definitely headed in the right direction.

  Cons

  One glaring problem offsets all of the cool updates. It crashes! A lot!. I have a recent Mac Book Pro with the latest OS. I have 16 gigs of ram with a solid state hard drive. In the course laying music tracks for a 6 or 7 minute video, it crashed at least 7 times. It seemed to do it mostly when I was listening to their samples and trying to figure out which ones I wanted to use. I'm bummed.

• quality niche sound but discrete control is weak

  trancegroupOctober 6, 2011

  Pros

  Plenty of selection and wide spectrum of various commercial genre Excellent sound quality with express search and a multitude of possibilities through mixing or arranging.

  Cons

  Much of the material is over-used and therefore somewhat cliche for movie scoring, the arranging process is too packaged which limits the ability to really take the tracks to core components. Many channels are groups.

  Summary

  For sound score and fast assembly of mainstay commercial sound tracks Sonicfire seems to be the industry standard, albeit a bit over-used, and I found much more creativity and fidelity in the latest Magix Music Maker which has punchier progressive sounds and deeper classical orchestration. If youi are making the backing tracks for a movie like Tropical Thunder or any number of Action, Hero, or Patriotic themed films you will find an abundance familiar arrangements when working with Sonicfire.

• Even better than the previous version!

  Pros

  This capability alone will save you hours of editing without having to compromise an ounce of quality. Mood Mapping makes it easy for you to control up to 9 different instrument layers from a single track on the timeline.

  Cons

  none really
