Sonic Producer (available at www.sonicproducer.com) is a music sequencing software and member support site. It claims that you will be hooked the first time that you use it, and that you won’t leave your computer ‘for four days’. It also says that you will be able to create hundreds of beats within those four days, as the software is so amazingly simple to use. Those of you who have ever created beats before know that this claim is unlikely, though the controls and tools to Sonic Producer do seem fairly straightforward.
Purchasing The Product
Purchasing Sonic Producer is easy enough, and doesn’t require that much instruction. When you buy it you are really buying the download, as well as the access to their members area, where they have all their extra tools and bonus features. All you do is go to their main website, and click on the huge ‘Get Started Here’ button they have pasted on their front page. Next, you just choose how you would like to make the payment – they accept Credit Cards, Debit Cards, and Paypal, via Clickbank.com, which is one of the best and the most secure payment management systems today. The good thing is that your information is completely safe and the folks at Sonicproducer.com never get access to your financial information, which makes this very safe.
How It Works
The program itself works like most music sequencing software. The difference is that it’s user tools are quite a bit easier than others, offering beginners or the technologically illiterate the same chance as anyone to create unique beats and music. The tutorial covers how to create music, so I won’t go into detail here. But once you have made your beats you are able to convert it to mp3 file format, which is handy if you are planning on sharing it online. The two big things that really stick out about Sonic Producer are its giant sound library, which contains various notes and tones from pretty much very instrument out there – orthodox or not – and the super easy point-and-click method to allign various beats at whatever time-difference you want. This is pretty unique and is something not typically offered by any product out there!
Actual Test
The bonus features are probably the best part of Sonic Producer, and worth the fee, to be honest. The music you make is untagged and high quality, so you can share it directly upon completion without having to pay editing fees. They also provide thousands of sound bites, and a full training center to teach you how to use them. But it also offers you something truly different, and that is lessons on learning instruments, such as piano and guitar, as well as dozens of others. You can even enter your music into paid contests if you want, though chances are serious musicians are interested in other things. When I first fiddled around with Sonic Producer, it hardly took 5 minutes to figure out the basics of the programs, however, there are a load of ‘hidden’ gems with this software, so it’s best to go through the tutorials anyway. Within the first 10 minutes, I was able to come up with a minute and a half of music that transitioned between three different beats – quite a cool achievement for a first time user!
Key Observations
Pros
- The software itself is pretty standard, but easier to use than most.
- The bonus features are the best part, and more than worth the price of Sonic Producer.
- They take PayPal.
- The music is provided untagged.
- The quality is great.
- They offer a money back guarantee.
Cons
- Really hard to find any, the only thing I don’t like so far is that you can’t add your own sounds to it as easily as I’d like. (EDIT : turns out you CAN add your own sound bytes to the thing, I just hadn’t figured it out!)
Overall Rating : 9.5/10 – Highly Recommended! The software works like a charm, the training and tutorials are great, and the thing comes with a 60 day money back guarantee to boot! No way you can go wrong with this!
