  ABOUT US

WHAT IS SONOMIC?

Sonomic is the leading provider of audio asset management and distribution technology. Headquartered in the heart of Manhattan, Sonomic gives creative professionals and hobbyists instant access to the sounds they need. The company's main products are the Online Library and the Total Library Server. At the heart of both is the Sonomic SoundEngineTM, a proprietary audio search engine built from the ground up for unparalleled speed and accuracy.


The Sonomic Online Library

The Sonomic Online Library is the world's largest database of downloadable samples and sound effects. Since its original launch in 2000, the Online Library has grown to encompass over 250,000 sounds from the industry's largest and most critically-acclaimed libraries. With the online library, finding the perfect sound is as simple as

SEARCH > PREVIEW > DOWNLOAD.TM

  • SEARCH. Our search engine allows you to search by category or keyword.
  • PREVIEW. Every one of our sounds can be previewed before you buy them, so you always get exactly the sounds you need.
  • DOWNLOAD. We offer only professional-quality sound effects, samples, and multi-samples, which can be downloaded in all the standard file formats. Your sounds are automatically stored in your SOUNDBAYTM enabling you to store, organize, access and re-download them from anywhere.

The Sonomic network includes the talents of Zero-G, Sound Ideas, BBC, Noise Generator, Valentino, Sampleheads, Clack Sound Studios, Frank Serafine, Doug Beck Music, Universal Sound Bank and more. All samples and sound effects are royalty-free, so you only pay once, no matter how many times you use the sounds in commercial projects.


The Sonomic Total Library Server

The Sonomic Total Library Server (TLS) integrates your own CD library with Sonomic's state-of-the-art technology to create a fast, efficient digital resource. With the TLS your sound effects, music and sample libraries are digitized and databased. Custom, cross-platform (Mac OS 9/X, Win 2000/XP) software lets you instantly find, audition and spot any sound to Pro Tools or drag and drop to any other sampler or sequencer. If your TLS doesn't have what you need, it will automatically download and database new sounds from the Sonomic Online Library. Cue sheets, taglists, usage reporting, offsite accessibility and a host of other powerful features let you focus on creating instead of searching. Learn more about the TLS.
