Audio Design Desk and Frame.io announce new integration

Audio Design Desk and Frame.io have announced a new integration between their services.  

Users can pull video assets and frame-accurate comments directly from Frame.io into Audio Design Desk for creating sound and music for video. They can also upload their work to Frame.io for collaborative review and feedback without leaving the timeline.  

Users can connect the two to import video assets and frame-accurate comments directly from Frame.io into add.app to quickly add sound effects, audio design and music for video. They can pull from add.app’s library of 2,500 free sounds (or 25,000 for paying customers) or import their own sounds to build soundscapes for their videos using add.app’s AI-assisted creative tools.  

When the review is complete, users can then export and upload their sound-designed video to Frame.io for review, then back into add.app, with notes. Using Frame.io’s Version Stacks, add.app artists can provide options for their clients so they can compare, side-by-side, different sound design or music cues options. 

In addition, Audio Design Desk has released the latest version of their app, Audio Design Desk Collaborate. It includes perpetual licensing at $399 (£301.86), a modern AI-assisted importer, and an optimised codebase that improves performance by 70%.  

Gabe Cowan, co-founder and CEO of Audio Design Desk, said of the news: “Using Frame.io’s Version Stacks, clients can now review and compare different sound and music cues against one another from virtually any online device, anywhere in the world. 

“Plus, we’re releasing a number of new features and updates in v1.3, including a rewrite of the underlying audio code, which now performs up to 70% faster, a more powerful importer, and perpetual licensing for our platform, one of the biggest requests from our community.”
