BIAS Peak 2-Track Editing Software (Macintosh)
BIAS Peak -- the worlds most popular stereo audio editing, processing, and mastering application for the Macintosh -- is now better than ever. From serious sound design for film, video, or multimedia, to rapid-fire broadcast editing, to music production limited only by your imagination, Peak 4 does it better than anything else. Create unique dance loops and remixes. Optimize audio for Internet streaming. Dust off that pile of vinyl records and convert them to CDs, ultra-portable AAC (MP4) or MP3 files, or to just about any audio file format on Earth. Craft soundtracks or fix audio problems for digital video. Maximize your musics sonic quality -- and then burn your own replication-ready audio CDs. All thats just the tip of the iceberg. Dig in and hear for yourself exactly what Peak 4 can do for you. It just might explain why more music and audio professionals depend upon BIAS Peak than any other competing product. The Complete CD Mastering Solution For Mac OS X -- While Peak 4.1 currently integrates CD burning that conforms to the Redbook standards for playback in any CD player, Mac audio professionals requiring full access to the Redbook spec to create pre-glass masters for mass commercial replication, have previously either depended on OS 9 solutions - or Roxio Jam 6 on Mac OS X. Peak 4.1 and Jam 6 Integration -- Peak 4.1 offers professional stereo audio editing and processing capabilities along with support for most popular audio formats, including Jam Image. Users can easily create regions and playlists within Peak 4.1, then save them as Jam Images for easy burning with Jam 6. In turn, Jam 6 features the ability to launch Peak 4.1 as an external audio editor. This integration offers an easy and flexible workflow between both applications. The addition of Jam 6 to Peak 4.1 enables users to include track indexes, track names, ISRC codes (International Standard Recording Code), and additional information necessary for the production of commercial replication-ready CDs Arrange your tracks and build your 100% Red Book-compliant audio CD. Create dynamic crossfades between tracks, edit PQ subcodes, set the gain for each channel of each track, cleanly trim your tracks, and more. -- Take advantage of every feature in the Red Book audio CD specification. -- Intuitively and enjoyably create DJ-quality crossfades between tracks using a flexible waveform interface. -- Automatically normalize tracks. -- Dynamically adjust gain by channel. -- Quickly insert and edit index points, and trim your sound data. -- Take care of all your PQ subcode editing -- Print-off complete track sheets to accompany your project. Peak 4.1 now includes SFX Machine LT -- SFX Machine LT adds even more sound design power to Peak 4.1 by including 21 appropriately named presets from the popular SFX Machine RT such as Multi-Vox 3, RoboTalk, BackwardsFragment 5, Jimi Echo, Triggered Wah+Dist, and more. A popular "Randomize" feature is also included and customers may upgrade to the full edition of SFX Machine at a discount by selecting the upgrade link within the plug-in. Combining SFX Machine LT with Peak's already impressive DSP toolset offers a substantial benefit to both serious sound designers and casual users alike. Brand new look and feel -- Peak 4 is totally new, even from first glance. A very Mac-like brushed metal background texture permeates much of the user interface, and many interface elements have improved ergonomics. The elements of the contents window, which stores a library of markers, loops and regions for all open audio files, are also now accessible within each audio document, offering an ergonomic alternative to the contents window. Specific libraries can now be accessed from an audio document drawer that can either be open or closed. Names and locations of markers, loops and regions from within the drawer will automatically update in the audio document when edited inside the drawer. Additionally, option-clicking on any item in the Contents window or drawer will initiate playback from that point, making Peak's playback navigation ultra-fast. The drawer also includes live cursor location information, which users can opt to appear in a transparent cursor overlay. The contents of the cursor palette window have also been relocated. Cursor mode buttons such as the selection tool, magnifying glass, and pencil tool are now ergonomically located in the top right hand side of the audio document window. The toolbar can be resized into a number of different shapes and orientations, and the toolbar buttons are resizable from anywhere between 16 x 16 to 64 x 64 pixels, making the toolbar easily visible on monitors from 12 to 23 inches. Finally the overview window can conveniently be shown or hidden via a disclosure triangle. Pumped up DSP tools -- Peak 4 adds significantly to its arsenal of built-in DSP tools. ImpulseVerb is an extremely high-quality reverb processing tool, that utilizes actual reverb impulse responses recorded in real spaces, such as performance halls, cathedrals, caves, and other spaces that have various reverberation qualities. An Altivec-based convolution technology allows these natural reverb impulses to be applied to dry audio signals, giving the impression that a file was actually recorded in a particular environment. ImpulseVerb offers real time preview, so that the ideal settings can be found before processing. In addition, ImpulseVerb offers an editable space envelope, which controls reverb length, as well as attack and decay characteristics, plus a wet / dry slider to control the amount of reverb being applied. Peak 4 includes over 180 high-quality impulse responses from more than 30 real and physically-modeled spaces, plus special effects -- each easily accessible from within ImpulseVerb's integrated library, and users can also import their own. Another new DSP item, "harmonic rotate," literally puts a twist on your signal's harmonics by rotating the frequency spectrum. The results are truly ear bending! Peak 4 also includes Sqweez(tm), a mastering-quality dynamic compressor / limiter VST plug-in. A new bit usage display reveals true bit-depth resolution, and identifies any bit quantization or bit saturation. Peak 4 also adds a whole new level of control to some of the existing DSP functions. Dynamic envelope control has been added to the time compression / expansion, add, and mix functions, allowing users to control the effect of these processes over time. Finally, a "magic pencil tool" has been added, making sample-level editing easy and instantaneous. Audio Units, multi-threaded / MP, CD burning and more -- Peak 4 is now fully multi-threaded and multi-processor capable. This means more processing speed, and no need to wait for most processes to finish before continuing to edit the current file or work on new files, as well as the ability to utilize both processors on MP machines. In addition to VST plug-ins, Peak 4 now supports Audio Units plug-ins. Several Audio Units plug-ins are included as part of OS X Jaguar -- including Bandpass, Delay, and others -- and are fully accessible from within the Peak 4 Audio Units plug-in menu. Users can mix and match both VST and Audio Units plug-ins via the 5 available inserts. As with Peak 3, version 4 includes over 25 VST plug-ins including BIAS Freq (a professional 4-band paragraphic EQ) and Vbox SE (a powerful VST effects matrix that makes even the most complex effects chains easy to create and manage on the fly). Peak 4 now burns fully Redbook-compatible audio CDs directly from within the application. CDs can either be burned from the playlist, or directly from the audio document window (Roxio Toast Lite(tm) is also included for users with legacy SCSI CD burners). A number of other enhancements include importing and auditioning of sub-segments from audio CD tracks, QuickTime movie looping, QuickTime movie playback during recording for dialog replacement, a markers from tempo feature, an audition option in the open file dialog, and much more.
