MUMBAI: AlterMedia, Inc., developer of Studio Suite, will be debuting Studio Suite 8, a ground-up rebuild of their leading studio management software.

This new release tackles the complex organizational requirements of today’s production facilities with a slew of new features, better security, and integration with other software, including QuickBooks, iCal, Pro Tools, FinalCut, and more.

Studio Suite 8 manages all kinds of media production: audio, video, pre-production, production, post-production, animation, film, TV, radio, DVD, duplication, mastering, etc. Studio Suite 8 manages everything – schedules, contacts, communications, projects, inventories, libraries, labels and invoices. It is user customizable, relational, and networkable across Mac/PC platforms.

“This is by far the most expansive release we’ve had. We’ve packed more new features into this version than in all previous releases, resulting in a refined product that’s extremely powerful, yet easy to use. Studio Suite 8 provides studios with a highly evolved structure for organization and management right out of the box,” said AlterMedia president Joel Stoner.

Studio Suite is used by work-at-home editors, engineers, producers, and composers; yet it’s also the anchor of operations at facilities ranging from small boutique studios to major corporations such as Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, and several branches of the US Government.

Pricing is $749 for the initial license, and $449 for each additional networked workstation.
