Project Database:

View all projects and completion totals. The Project Database is an overall view of the project that enables you to track the status of each cue or song. You can see if each cue has been composed, approved, orchestrated, recorded or which musician already recorded in each song. See image.

Cue Database:

Organize all details for each piece of music (individual cue or song). Now you can label your cues by usage, description, genre or style fields to help identify each cue.

Orchestra Database:

Track multiple ensembles (orchestra, band, jazz trio, etc) and which cues they will record at a particular session. Fully definable ensembles means you are no longer restricted to the pre defined orchestra layout of version 1.

Session Database:

Schedule session dates. Have a detail view of what cues will be recorded in the session. The session database will automatically calculate how many minutes of music need to be recorded per session. That way you can organize the session more efficiently. It also allows for multiple session per day, as well as a great "Change Session Date" script that makes changing the date and time of a session and its related cues a snap. See image.
