PRESENTATION AUDIO BRINGS PROFESSIONAL QUALITY AUDIO TO DESKTOP FOR POPULAR
PC-BASED PRESENTATION PROGRAMS 

Easy-to-use music and sound effects from a leading professional music
library

SAN DIEGO (December 1, 1995) -- Network Music, one of the nation's largest
producers of music, sound effects and production elements for the
broadcast, commercial and audiovisual industries, has introduced
Presentation Audio, a breakthrough CD-ROM audio library that brings
professional-quality music and sound effects to the desktop for users of
popular presentation products such as Microsoft PowerPoint. 

Presentation Audio was created specifically to meet the needs of creators
of computer-based presentations. Designed and formatted for use with
popular presentation authoring applications, the series draws from Network
Music's extensive professional audio CD libraries to provide users for the
first time the ability to score their works with fully orchestrated and
professionally recorded music, sound effects and production elements.
Network's professional clients include ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, HBO, American
Airlines, Federal Express, Microsoft, IBM, General Motors, NASA, hundreds
of television and radio stations, and thousands of recording studios,
post-production facilities, educational institutions and government
agencies. 

Network Music supplied the sounds that are embedded in the latest version
of PowerPoint, and a demonstration version of Presentation Audio can be
found in Office for Windows 95. 

Each volume in the industry-first program contains 30 original music beds
pre-edited in 60-second, 30-second, short tag and loop versions, as well
as 100 sound effects and 100 production elements such as "stagers,"
"sweepers," "drones," zaps" and "lasers." Each of the five CD's, which may
be purchased separately, is centered on a specific theme. The five volumes
currently available are Business/Office, Pop Culture, High
Tech/Electronic, Environments/Atmospheres and Comedy/Animation. 

Network's powerful, easy-to-use, intuitive utility Trakfinder allows the
user to select, audition and edit audio selections for length, as well as
add special effects such as fade-in/fade-out or continuous loop. Included
in each CD-ROM at no extra cost, Trakfinder allows users to export the
sound files as stereo or mono, 22 kHz or 11 kHz, 16-bit or 8-bit files in
WAV or ADPCM-compressed formats. It can be used directly from the CD-ROM
or installed on the user's hard drive. As volumes are added in the future,
Trakfinder provides users with the option to compile all of the indexes
into a master directory to facilitate a universal search/selection
function that includes the individual user's entire library.
Context-sensitive HELP throughout the program provides clear and concise
guidance if needed. 

The suggested retail price of Presentation Audio is $49.95 per volume,
which includes a royalty-free license for non-broadcast, computer-based
presentations. 

Network Music is the foremost independent originator of production music in
the world. Since it was founded in 1979, the San Diego-based company's
library has grown to more than 1,200 original compositions and 10,000
sound effects. These libraries are constantly growing with monthly updates
and new issues. Recognized as an innovative leader in music production,
the company now lists over 10,000 clients, including major broadcast
networks, advertising and public relations agencies, audiovisual
production houses, and Fortune 100 companies which use the libraries to
communicate their messages more effectively in business communications.
