About SMDB Companion

Overview

SMDB Companion is a powerful and intuitive tool designed to streamline the management of your Soundminer audio database. It helps audio professionals, sound designers, and post-production teams efficiently find and remove duplicate audio files from their libraries. Whether you are working on film, video games, or other media projects, SMDB Companion improves workflow and saves valuable time.

Key Features

Find Duplicate Audio Files

SMDB Companion lets you choose multiple advanced algorithms that will identify and flag duplicate audio files in your Soundminer database, helping you keep your database lean and organized.

Seamless Integration with Soundminer

SMDB Companion integrates smoothly with your existing Soundminer setup, working with Soundminer’s database and audio metadata to find duplicates without disrupting your workflow.

Customizable

Everyone's library is organized differently. SMDB Companion allows you to customize what defines a duplicate and which files you want to keep based on your personal organization style.

Metadata Management

Need to quickly alter some specific Metadata? Perhaps you've moved a directory of files and want to change the filepath without rescanning the files back into Soundminer. SMDB Companion also has a find and replace tool to help with this!

Efficient File Removal

Once duplicates are identified, SMDB Companion gives you the option to easily remove them, freeing up storage space and reducing clutter in your database.

Lightweight and Fast

Designed with performance in mind, SMDB Companion is lightweight and optimized to run quickly, even with large sound libraries.

SMDB Companion is a must-have tool for professionals working with large sound libraries, particularly those who rely on Soundminer for their database management. After installing SMDB Companion, simply point it to your Soundminer database and let the software do the heavy lifting.

Whether you are a sound designer working on a film, a video game audio engineer, or a post-production team managing thousands of sound effects, SMDB Companion helps streamline your workflow and improve your productivity. By removing unnecessary duplicates, it ensures that your library is always up to date and organized.
