Sony Creative Software Introduces New Download Delivery Option for All Products in Its Royalty-Free Content Line

Sony Creative Software, a leading provider of professional video and audio production applications, has introduced a download delivery option for its entire royalty-free content catalog. All Sony Creative Software loop libraries, Cinescore Themes, sound effects and Vision Series content collections, including previously discontinued titles, are now available for purchase via download at discounted prices. Instant access to Sony Creative Software's popular content collections will help producers to rapidly get the production assets they need to beat deadlines while saving on production costs.

"Providing this content download option is a natural progression for Sony Creative Software as it offers additional value and convenience to our user community who have told us that having immediate access to royalty-free music and video content is critical to their creative workflow," said Dave Chaimson, Sony Creative Software vice president of global marketing. "No matter what part of the world they are from, producers can now browse, audition, purchase, and download Sony Creative Software content anytime they desire without having to interrupt the production process. Due to the lower costs of digital delivery, we can also offer our users discounted pricing while compounding their savings on shipping costs."

Available exclusively on the Sony Creative Software Web site, users can purchase content via download by clicking on the "Download" option button next to the titles they would like to buy. Users can also audition content by genre, artist, or collection before purchasing.

First Download-Only Loop Library Also Now Available

Announced in conjunction with the new download delivery feature is Sony Creative Software's first download-only loop library title, "Latin Hip-Hop: The Hybrid Series." This new title is a celebration of the vibrant and eclectic Latin/Hip-Hop genre and features content drawn from Sony's archive to create an essential resource for producers that seek these distinctive sounds. Extensive auditioning and experimentation has yielded more than 700 loops and ten sophisticated, royalty-free ACID projects that make up this high-energy loop library, available at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/latinhiphop. Additional new download-only titles will be added to the online catalog on a regular basis.
