Hello,

Nube here with PD. Came from Vegas... Sony, that is, not Las.

I have owned SmartSound for a few years, so I had some preassumptions about how SS would interface with PD. I've only played with it for a short period, but I think I have figured out that the capabilites within PD's interaction with SS are limited to basically the selection of songs to bring into a sound track.

Am I correct in that assumption?

In other words, if I am correct, then all the scoring power that is possible in the SonicFire Pro application is still only done in there.

It's okay if that is true. It's what I used to have to do with Vegas anyway. I'd get the video to where I was happy, then move it to SonicFire and do the formal score there. Then I would go back to Vegas and import the score and render the audio video together.

So I just want to be sure I am not missing something like the nube bonehead I feel right now.

Another question: Curiously, when I go into the Magic Music window and bring up my songs. it shows the ones I own, as it should. But what is puzzling is that it acutally shows MORE variations of some songs than are represented in my Sonicfire track tool.

For instance, I have a song that in the SS Sonicfire application indicates there are 5 variations. Whereas, in Magic Music window, the same song shows 2 more variations.

I have not been through every song I have to see how many have a similar result, so I don't know how widespread it is. Just thought I would quickly ask if anyone else noticed that.

Thanks in advance for input.
