Business Shreditors: Our 7 Must-Have Features to Improve Workflow and Editing Efficiency

Jourdan Aldredge

Oct 24, 2024

Even while it can be creatively rewarding, we know that it’s a tough job being an all-in-one shooter, producer, and editor for video. As a “shreditor,” all of the responsibilities fall on your own shoulders, which can, admittedly, be great for those who love to control all aspects of a project’s production. 

However, if you’re looking for a partner who can help you with those elements you simply cannot control, we’re here to be that trusted resource for all your music, sound effects, and video needs.

At Soundstripe we pride ourselves on understanding the “shreditor” mentality and have many offerings and features designed to help make your shooting, producing, and editing jobs easier. From our rich library of royalty free music for video, to our superb sound effects and video assets, we have you covered.

In addition to our core offerings, let’s review some of our lesser-known features, such as our track stems, AI song editing tool, Premiere Pro plugin, mobile app, and many more. At the same time, we give you a full outline of how to maximize your experience working with us.

Getting Started With Soundstripe

So, if you’ve made it to this article here, you’re perhaps a bit familiar with Soundstripe and music licensing. However, if you are a bit confused about what we do here at Soundstripe and how all this royalty free music for video works, let’s go over some basics.

For all of you, business shreditors (aka in-house shooters, producers, and editors) who work solo or as part of a small or large team, your best option for working with music licensing for all of your video and content needs is going to be Soundstripe’s enterprise plan.

What is that, you ask? Here’s a quick primer on everything you need to know about the Soundstripe enterprise plan

But, in short, our enterprise plan is basically a music licensing service tailored for companies, brands, non-profits, or other organizations that need a certain level of protection and insurance to ensure that the music used across all their different videos and channels is safe, protected, and of a trusted quality.

If you’d like to get started with Soundstripe today, feel free to contact a sales representative directly here. Then, check out these Soundstripe features and plugins, which we think you’ll find quite fun and helpful for your shooting, producing, and editing workflows.

On-Platform Soundstripes Features

Let’s start by looking at some of the most important features we offer on-platform here at Soundstripe. To go along with our full library of high-quality royalty free music and sound effects produced by Grammy-winning artists and musicians from Nashville, Tennessee, and abroad, here are some helpful Soundstripe tools you should know about.

Song Stems

 

Our music tracks at Soundstripe consist of isolated groupings of similar instruments or sounds that, when combined, form an entire track. Music stems can be manipulated separately to give you the most creative control over the overall track's sound.

For example, as you can see in the video, many music tracks can be broken down into different sub-tracks, including options like drums, synth, guitar, vocals, etc… 

Instead of trying to find a way to isolate the different sections yourself (which can be tricky and time-consuming), downloading stems from a place like Soundstripe can lay out these specific tracks for you — allowing you the freedom to edit them in and out as you see fit.

AI Song Editing

 

With our new AI Song Editor, you can utilize artificial intelligence to manipulate a Soundstripe track in seconds with the quality of a professional audio engineer.

The AI Song Editing feature uses groundbreaking AI to analyze a song and instantly generate shorter, self-contained snippets. Each snippet sounds natural on its own or can be combined with other clips directly in the app to produce a custom edit that sounds as flawless as the original version. 

With AI Song Editing, you can engage with a track at a new level of detail and control, cut or extend it to the perfect length, loop a specific section, or completely rearrange it in no time while maintaining the highest musical integrity.

Search is the essential tool for finding the perfect music for your creative projects. At Soundstripe, we understand our platform's vital role in helping our users discover ideal content quickly, easily, and accurately.

That's why we are thrilled to unveil our groundbreaking AI music search feature, poised to revolutionize the way you find the music you need.

Powered by advanced artificial intelligence, this innovative tool revolutionizes how you discover music, making it easier than ever to find the perfect soundtrack that amplifies your vision. By integrating AI tools into our search capabilities, we're enhancing your experience with natural language searches, popular artist inquiries, song titles, video genres, and much more.
