Smartsound function comes with a few free tracks, a dozen or so, I forget now, those are the highlighted ones. All others must be purchased. The Full Spec music ARE the freebies. If some are not playing, try rebuilding the library in the Smartsound module. If you are having issues, then try Smartsound customer service, or their database. They are good at customer service.

Thanks for reply. Resolved problem. Downloaded the latest version of Smartsound and it works great. New Version 3.0.9.0

The "freebie" selection of SmartSound music is very limited compared to what smartsound offers. Go to www.smartsound.com and find the customer service contact. Leave a message asking to be put on their email list.

Right now they have 12 disks on special for 25%, thats 75% OFF!!! You can click on products/music and the disks on special have $25 in red at the rightmost margin. Normal price is $99.

This special on those 12 ends very VERY shortly, but they will likely run a different 12 at the same price for one week at a time until the end of the year. But watch it closely. I just "snapped up" Richard Band Volume 6 - Family (I have several other of his, Action, Dramatic, Suspense, and the one multi layer disk - Volume 7 Scoring Suites).

Another tip: If you really like the smartsound approach look into SmartSound's SonicFire Pro. This is a standalone soundtrack score editor that now comes in two versions. The ExpressTracks version often comes free with a $50 music purchase, I have the Scoring Edition which costs $99 to upgrade from Express Tracks. Express tracks allows a lot of extra control over the music, Scoring Edition allows even more including "mood mapping" on their multi layer music.

SonicFire Pro works independent of your video software yet allows you to produce a music score that fits specific video sequence length. In Express Tracks you produce it to a time length, in the Scoring Edition you can import a low res version of the video segment you are "scoring" and watch it play to trial music tracks.

Talk about flexibility. Work with the Magic Music implementation of SmartSound music, do it with Express Tracks, or go the whole route with the Scoring Edition.

Bif, Please forgive me, after I sent the reply I discovered that your reply was in answer to another question I had sent to Cyberlink customer service.

Now that my head is screwed on straight thanks for the input on the Sound web site. I will be using it shortly to get on there mailing list .

Again my apologies
Bob

Bobby,

Nothing to apologize for. If you made another reply I never saw any but this one.

All I was doing was supplying info and ideas. I've used SmartSound music for a few years now and have looked at other "royalty free" stuff and nothing campares.

I keep purchasing albums and occasionally will purchase a single track that seems right for something I'm working on.
