Sony Creative Software, a leading global provider of professional editing and authoring applications, today released a new addition to its Sony Sound Series offerings: Production Music, which consists of a unique selection of royalty free music tracks for both personal and commercial use. The Production Music collection provides customers with immediate access to an extensive range of choices, featuring more than 1,600 tracks, each consisting of four different cuts — 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, and full length. The catalog reflects top-tier production values and delivers music in a variety of familiar genres including Ambient/Cinematic, Country, Electronic, Jazz, News, Pop, Rock, Urban and World.

“Sony Creative Software continues to expand its role in the broadcast and post-production arenas by releasing products that continue to set the standard for professional results. Our Production Music catalog’s top-notch royalty free tracks add yet another dimension to our extensive line of content products, and provide our customers with even more cost-efficient solutions for differentiated media production,” said Dave Chaimson, vice president of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. “From private screenings to commercial blockbusters, there’s certain to be something for everyone in this incredible new collection.”

Unlike other pieces of production music which have managed rights and expensive fees, all content in the Sony Sound Series catalog is royalty free and can be leveraged simultaneously across multiple projects. This provides users with the freedom to employ Sound Series assets in a variety of projects, ranging from television and film to worldwide advertising campaigns. An easy-to-access, searchable database allows customers to browse the catalog and audition tracks quickly and efficiently prior to downloading their purchase for immediate use.
