Anyone using Sony Cinescore

[Corby Evenson]

I decided to post this here because I'm interested to know if any FC users have used Cinescore and have had problems. Because it's a windows app I'm wondering if there have been problems working across the two OS. (Forgive me if I'm simple, I'm a new mac convert and haven't done anything with parallels)

Also if anyone has thoughts on cinescore as a product and if there is a better option for me to get some cheap music on my projects until I can afford to get someone with musical knowledge to score for me.

Thanks for your help.

Okay, here's my beef with Cinescore. I just bought it. They say (even on the box it reads this, ) PROFESSIONAL SOUNDTRACK CREATION "perfect for movies, slideshows, commercials and radio productions."

However once you open the box and begin reading the manual you find out that you will have to purchase a license if you are using their music on anything other than for home video use. How "professional" is that?? Internet, TV & DVD sales...you need a license. Then they send you to Thompson's website, talking about mp3 rights & licensing.

So basically Sony, you are LYING !!! ???? Has anyone else checked into the licensing of this product and it's music tracks usage?
