Sonuscore The Score $399 PC MAC

The Score comes up with a film soundtrack based on your stylistic choices, but that’s just the start of it. Andy Jones scores The Score

- Andy Jones

With AI making it easy to produce music, one area that remains a mystery to many is that of the film score. Wouldn’t it be good to have an application that makes it as easy to produce a score as saying ‘I want it in this style, with these instruments’? Well, Sonuscore’s The Score aims to do just that, but claims that you are always at the steering wheel, even though the software appears to be doing the driving.

What’s The Score?

It’s a shame there’s no AI involved in installing The Score, as if you are new to either the Best Service or Native Instruments worlds, it can be a faff. Register at Best Service to insert the key to download the content, and then do the same at NI to download Native Access and Kontakt Player (or Kontakt) to run it. Make sure you have the latest versions and don’t, as we did, move the content or else everything will have ‘fun’ trying locate it. And don’t panic when your The Score UI doesn’t look like it should. You’ll need to load an Ensemble, not the single Lead Instrument mode it loads as standard. An hour and a half of life we’re not getting back later, we’re up and running.
