The folks at BIAS have announced that they’ve been burning the midnight oil to deliver Universal Binary versions of its Peak Pro, Peak Pro XT, Peak LE, Master Perfection Suite, SoundSoap and SoundSoap Pro applications. Expected to be shipping by the second quarter of 2006, the BIAS Intel Core Duo compatible applications will demonstrate significant performance increases on some of the most computer-intensive audio processes. Testing sample rate conversion in Peak Pro 5 showed a performance increase of nearly 130% when running on an Intel-based MacBook Pro versus a 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4. Even better, upgrades to Universal Binary editions will be free of charge.
