Consider these reasons for buying:

1.Features - By far the fastest most feature-rich audio asset manager on the market. Soundminer has always been the innovator while others trip over themselves trying to copy. Even the ‘lightest’ version of Soundminer contains many important features like full boolean searching, lightning fast Soundminer search engine, the Soundminer MetaBrowser, the ability to read many types of metadata, waveform editor, easy project and playlist management, a customized toolbar, intuitive and powerful (Graphical User Interface)GUI, artwork display, and much more

2.Innovators from the beginning. It was Soundminer who developed the all-in-one application that houses a robust database engine, and lightning fast search engine, a high resolution playback engine, a high resolution batch converter, an extensive metadata editor and application specific interface for Digidesign Pro Tools and Steinberg Nuendo. It was Soundminer who first developed the use of Propellerhead’s Rewire plug-in for asset management to compensate for for the hardware access limitations of Pro Tools. And in V4 it is again Soundminer leading the development of high level security connections to Active Directory services, simple Daemon in the Server and the feature rich Web Portal.

3.Supported by users and manufacturers alike. No other product enjoys the respect and support enjoyed by Soundminer. That’s why the world’s largest sound effect manufacturers, Sound Ideas and Hollywood Edge, now deliver their content on DVDs and hard drives with Soundminer embedded data.
