A Great Mastering Tool for Mac!
BIAS Peak Pro 6 maximizes your music's sonic quality with a sample rate conversion algorithm that's capable of performing the billions of calculations required to ensure that resampling is done at maximum precision - and then burns your final masters using a fully Red Book-compliant Playlist, complete with CD-TEXT, ISRC codes, and track indexes. Among the new features in Peak Pro 6 is the ability to drag-and-drop files between Peak and iTunes, logarithmic metering with user-configurable calibration, and Perpetual Looper DSP, which creates perfect "beat-free" sustained loops from monophonic sources within Peak Pro 6.

Advanced Playlist Editing and Mastering
Peak Pro 6 offers Mastering and "Classical Editing" Cross-Fade Modes with Overlap/Gap and Centered cross-fades optimize workflows. Volume envelopes let you easily and precisely edit volumes across entire regions, fades and cross-fades. Custom Default Fades make it easy to create, save and load your favorite cross-fade shapes and apply them automatically.
Editing, Processing and Sound Design Power
The Cache in RAM feature in Peak Pro 6 provides ultra-fast RAM-based editing. Perpetual Loop DSP ensures perfect "beat-free" sustained loops on monophonic sources, ideal for creating instrument sample libraries. For post-production work, Voiceover Ducking DSP dynamically lowers music level during voiceover. With the Change Pitch and Convolve Envelope tool, you can apply dynamic changes over time. Vbox Cross-synthesis Link gives you the ability to mix, convolve, vocode, modulate and magnitude multiply virtual instruments, audio, effects and live input for creative sound design.
User Interface Enhancements
On the user interface side of things, the global contrast control allows customization of user interface from dark to light. With "Magnetic" windows, operational windows snap together for optimal screen management. High-resolution meters provide logarithmic metering with high-precision, user configurable standard calibrations.
Multiple Delivery Tools
Advanced PQ sheet/text export offers custom playlist reports include durations, index points, CD-TEXT info, notes, and more. Print, save to PDF, or export as a tab-delimited file. Quickly export audio documents or playlists directly to iTunes for the ultimate in convenience, or drag and drop audio between iTunes and Peak playlist. Peak Pro 6 also allows reads/writes metadata for most major file types, including Broadcast WAVE.
