Since there is no dB level indicator in Sonicfire Pro, this feature is not as accurate as it is in NLEs such as Premiere or Final Cut Pro, but is useful in many situations. Users can now Command (or Control)-Click on the volume band to create handles which can be moved up or down to modify the volume within the music segments. Introduced in Sonicfire Pro is volume rubber banding.

The music blocks are segments of longer pieces, which the software can manipulate to create the unlimited number of custom music soundtracks. Users can even mix and match libraries in the Editor to create custom music. Sonicfire Pro builds the music cues from the blocks of music within each library. If a user wants to refine or change the music soundtrack, the Editor allows complete editing of the music blocks used in the soundtrack. With an imported QuickTime video file, editors can preview the Maestros arrangements and make changes to the timeline placement and the audio files, ensuring that the exported file is perfect for inclusion into the final project. Many times the only step left is to export the file as a WAV or AIFF to import into a non-linear editor. When a user exits the Maestro and enters the Editor screen, a custom soundtrack is imported in the length specified. Getting through the Maestro process takes only a few minutes - mostly spent listening to the various music arrangements the software creates. There are more than 30 music CDs available, with more introduced each four to six weeks. Sonicfire Pro offers several choices to preview - all built to the exact length specified by the user from the users SmartSound music library. Using the Maestro process, Sonicfire Pros soundtrack-building wizard, users indicate preferences such as style, theme, and timing of the music cue.

Users can cut blocks of SmartSound music files edit multiple segments of audio and video, leaving silence in between import and edit their own music files and export just the music or the sound from the QuickTime movie - effectively performing a final audio mix right in Sonicfire Pro. Sonicfire Pro greatly improves on SmartSounds audio editing capabilities. A lite version of SmartSound, called Quicktracks, ships with Adobe Premiere 6. SmartSound changed that with their software that allows users to create music of many styles to specific time cues. Until SmartSound for Multimedia came along, editors and producers had two choices for adding music to their productions: hire a composer to create custom music, or purchase some buy-out music and fade it out to fit the length of the music cues. This gives editors real-time previewing of the video and music. Most noticeable in this new product is the ability to import QuickTime movies to view the video as users build their audio effects and music. Sonic Desktop Software, maker of SmartSound for Multimedia, has made its nearly perfect software even better with the introduction of SmartSound Sonicfire Pro.
