"SmartSound is the perfect complement to our digital imaging product lineup," said Dan Schwab, vice president of marketing for D&H. "Their unique products round out our offering in this category, which is one of our fastest growing business segments at D&H."

In addition, to its popular use by video professionals, SmartSound's products are versatile enough to be used for a wide variety of digital content creation, including DVD authoring and Web development. A simple click of the mouse in SmartSound's Sonicfire Pro allows users to make any music track have either a fixed ending or loop infinitely. This lets users create repeating background music and effects tracks that sound much fresher than what "looping" software can create.

"The versatility and patented technology of SmartSound's products present resellers with the ability to turn a single sale into a lasting revenue stream," said Brian Dickman, SmartSound Software's vice president of marketing. "Customers who purchase our software tend to use it again and again for a variety of visual media needs, and also tend to purchase multiple add-on music CDs to enhance their experience. Expanding our distribution allows more resellers the ability to take advantage of this unique sales opportunity."

Both WYNIT and D&H Distributing will offer the full range of SmartSound soundtrack creation tools, including software and royalty-free music libraries. SmartSound's products offer resellers a complete soundtrack solution for customers of any level creating video or digital content projects. The entire SmartSound software family is designed to let users create composer-quality soundtracks that match the length and tone of the visuals on-screen.
