BURBANK, CA – Altermedia was at the AES show with StudioSuite8 (www.studiosuite.com), a studio management application that runs on both Mac and Windows operating systems.
The application’s Events module helps studio owners keep track of sessions, automatically generating the necessary paperwork. The Library module logs and stores the contents of all reels and hard drives in a searchable database. The Titles & Tracks module can be used to create track sheets, take sheets, storyboards and can also record snippets of audio or video. The Recall module has drawings of more than 140 commonly-used pieces of audio gear as well as accommodations for recording settings, patches and other notes. Audio samples and video clips can be tracked in the Samples & Clips module.
The application also offers a maintenance log for keeping tabs of service and repairs, a patchbay label maker, and facilities for rates, invoices, calendars and project tracking.
Pricing is $499 for the first license, and $199 for each additional networked workstation.
Upgrade prices for current users are $279 for the initial upgrade and $129 per additional workstation. Bundles including FileMaker Pro 8.5 (required) and FileMaker Server will also be available.
