If you're going to AES 2014 next week in LA, and your studio is a mess (not dusty, I mean, task management processes gone awry), then you have to drop by and talk to the team at AlterMedia. They'll be showcasing the newly redesigned Studio Suite Xi.
It's a must see!
AES 2014 - Booth #1640
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AlterMedia to Showcase Studio Suite Xi at AES 2014
Studio Suite Team to Demo Newly Designed Studio Management Software for
Production, Post, and Audio Pros During AES 2014
Burbank, CA (October 2, 2014) – AlterMedia (www.altermedia.com) today announced it will demonstrate the newly-released Studio Suite Xi during the AES 2014 convention in Los Angeles, CA next week in booth #1640. AlterMedia’s Studio Suite Xi studio management software simplifies the process of running, organizing and managing production, post, and audio facilities.
A free 30 day trial of Studio Suite Xi is available at www.studiosuite.com.
AlterMedia CEO and founder, Joel Stoner, began his career as a recording engineer. He commented, “Audio is where it all began for me. My experience managing my own small business as an independent recording engineer is what led to the development of Studio Suite. While it’s capabilities have grown to include aspects of film and video production as well, I’m eager to show AES attendees how Studio Suite Xi can energize the ‘business’ side of their business.”
"We use Studio Suite every single day. It's the single most used program in the building outside of Protools" says Casey Lewis, studio manager at NRG Recording in Los Angeles.
NRG owner Jay Baumgardner adds, "The guys at AlterMedia have always been great. We’ve had every new version of Studio Suite for past the 16 years, and we’re really excited about the new capabilities in Studio Suite Xi. The fact that Studio Suite can be customized for our needs, along with their excellent customer service is why we've had a great relationship with them."
AlterMedia formally released Studio Suite Xi in September, and in less than a month, has already enjoyed a 356% growth in seat purchases over the previous version. “We’ve been listening to what our customers are asking for, and implementing those requests in each release. This time we have hit the nail on the head; the orders are flying in. Something has definitely clicked,” added Stoner.
With web and iOS access, as well as a completely refreshed interface, Studio Suite Xi’s new build extends a studio’s ability to manage critical workflows from the office to the studio, and beyond. Studio Suite Xi presents an elegant and consistent user experience, focused on simplicity and clarity, while delivering powerful features and workflow enhancements that eliminate the challenges of managing contacts, resources, schedules, budgets/actuals, and the thousands of other details that become unwieldy in day-to-day studio operations.
AlterMedia offers three versions of Studio Suite Xi: Solo, Pro, and Network, with web and iOS access available on all Network solutions.
