Cinescore 1 Review
 Sony releases a soundtrack creation tool and it's a winner - Cinescore just began shipping in the last few months and the program is a new kind of audio tool for Sony. It is not a loops program like Sony Acid, but is clearly targeted to compete against tools like Smartsound's Sonicfire Pro.

Kudos on being able to solve your snafu. Although recording in Pro Tools could be challenging, recording in any sequencer isn't that difficult. I find a lot of the work is getting a clean signal: voice, mic, compressor, preamp. I've learned a lot of apps under pressure from paid clients,...
