Video Tutorial: Customize Vocal Tracks with Sonicfire Pro 5

Learn how score a video when lyrics, not just instruments, are part of the mix

SmartSound’s Voxation Series features the music of emerging bands and artists packaged in a familiar, and customizable, SmartSound format. As the series name implies, these new titles aren’t your typical instrumental tracks but include full-on vocals along with the jams. Because the music is delivered in separate layers, editors can still control which instruments and vocal tracks they want to use or emphasize; they can also edit for length, arrangement and mix. The latest release showcases Josh Eagle and the Harvest City. For one week only (through August 24), SmartSound is offering 50% off this new release and every other album in its Voxation Series, all of which are licensed for royalty-free commercial use.
