Accompaniment to Electronic Presentations and Web Pages
May 3, 1999
Sonic Foundry (AMEX: SFO), a leading developer and marketer of media authoring
tools and digital audio software for Windows, today introduced its new ‘Audio
Anywhere’ software suite. Designed for use with Microsoft PowerPoint and
FrontPage applications, this unique software solution allows PC users to enhance
electronic presentations and Web pages with custom sound and musical accompaniment.
Fully compatible with the upcoming Microsoft Office 2000 package, ‘Audio
Anywhere’ features the pairing of Sonic Foundry's popular ACID Style audio
content creation program with its acclaimed Sound Forge XP 4.5 audio-editing tool.
The ACID Style application enables the authoring of loop-based, royalty-free compositions
in the genres of rock, jazz, pop, and dance. These compositions can be edited,
processed, and further enhanced using Sound Forge XP 4.5. The package includes
over 800 professional quality sound clips of all varieties, such as music beds,
button clicks, sound effects, transitions, tags, and environments, all of which
can contribute to the development of more powerful and effective presentations
and Web pages.
The versatile ‘Audio Anywhere’ suite can save files in a variety
of formats, including WAV, .ASF, .AVI, and .RM, making it possible for users to
publish to virtually any type of project. The Sound Forge XP 4.5 application,
which supports Microsoft Windows Media Technologies 4.0 and RealNetworks G2 file
formats, enables these files, as well as video data, to be synchronized and placed
into Web pages created by FrontPage.
According to Roy Elkins, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sonic Foundry,
“Audio Anywhere is truly a one-of-a-kind solution. It provides anyone with
practical Windows competency the ability to equip PowerPoint presentations and
Web pages with the added dimension of professional quality audio and video.”
‘Audio Anywhere’ requires a Pentium 133 processor or higher, a Windows-compatible
sound card, a CD-ROM drive, 32 MB of RAM, 10 MB of hard disk space, and Microsoft
Windows 95/98, or NT version 4.0 or later.
