From sound design to broadcast editing to music production complete with CD burning, Peak's trademark simplicity and editing power does the job. Peak now offers full Audio Units effect support along with its VST capabilities. 25 VST plug-ins are included, plus the built-in ImpulseVerb convolution reverb and other DSP functions.

Powerhouse package with intuitive operation and pro features
Peak's user interface has always been refreshingly clear, with fast, intuitive graphic waveform editing (including the new Magic Pencil that eradicates pops and clicks). Plus, we (ahem) older engineers will appreciate the ability to resize toolbar buttons up to four times their original size - our tired eyes thank you! When it comes to file compatibility, Peak Pro can import and export in any of 14 formats, including MP3 and AAC. Built-in POW-r dithering makes sure that bit reduction is smooth and musical, and you can burn Red Book CDs directly from Peak Pro's Playlist window or assemble your tracks with crossfades and gain adjustments for burning with the included Roxio Jam 6 software.

New Peak Pro 5 includes dozens of enhancements
BIAS Peak Pro is now better than ever! New features include an advanced graphical Playlist, with fully Red Book-compliant (ISRC and Pq subcode editing) direct CD burning, CD-TEXT, Vbox 2.0 (now with AU and virtual instrument support), plus amazing sample-rate conversion, tempo, and pitch change tools. Your workflow will be more efficient thanks to custom Snap-To options, Auto-Define tracks, Strip Silence, automatic plug-in latency compensation, and many more improvements. The ImpulseVerb sample-based reverb includes over 230MB of sampled spaces. Peak Pro also features the new BIAS Freq version 2.0 EQ, BIAS Sqweez compressor/limiter, and 25 other VST plug-ins.

Great for creating dance loops and remixes
From serious sound design for film, video, or multimedia, to rapid-fire broadcast editing, to music production limited only by your imagination, Peak Pro 5 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 other audio file format on Earth. Craft soundtracks or fix audio problems for digital video. Maximize your music's sonic quality - and then burn your own replication-ready audio CDs.

Peak Pro 5 includes SFX Machine LT
SFX Machine LT adds even more sound design power to Peak Pro 5 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 you may upgrade to the full edition of SFX Machine at a discount. Combining SFX Machine LT with Peak Pro 5's already impressive DSP toolset offers a substantial benefit to both serious sound designers and casual users alike.
