Helios is a powerful B2B technology to allow searching of large commercial music libraries by using music itself as the search key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many uses for Helios. Here are a few examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have a digital jukebox in bars, restaurants, and pubs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You want venue patrons to be able to play more music like whatever they just paid to hear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have a music catalogue management platform that publishers and labels use to track their digital assets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your customers want to be able to search within their own catalogue using your slick platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have an online digital music store and you’d like to be able to make intelligent product recommendations to your customers
|
|
|
|
|
|
based on what songs they've already got in their shopping cart before they check out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have a streaming music service whose DJs need inspiration for coming up with either channel based or custom curated playlists faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You market software for DJs, such as plugins to manage their library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
While they're playing live a plugin in their favourite software suggests some tracks to mix or play next.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You have a commercial music library of any size. Perhaps you are a major record label, perhaps independent,
|
|
|
|
|
|
or maybe you've amalgamated music from multiple labels, independent artists, or publishers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to assist your clients obtain synchronization licenses quickly for appropriate pieces of music for their
|
|
|
|
|
|
film, TV, documentary, commercials, video games, or some other context.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are countless other examples, but let's talk about this last one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nearly always your client approaches you with samples already in hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hey, do you have anything like this?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
This could be an MP3 or a YouTube video URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because Helios allows you to search the catalogue using music itself as the search key,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you could use the customer’s samples directly to help them find what they’re looking for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Traditionally, in the absence of such technology, the way this has been done for decades may surprise many.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is both costly and involves many hours or even days of manual human labour which delays the business process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The business must manually search, usually using textual tags, and listen to a great deal of irrelevant music in the hopes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
finding the one the client is actually willing to spend money on.
