Peak’s 6th sense

BIAS’s latest version of its two-track editor and pre-mastering software, Peak Pro XT 6, boasts a range of new features while retaining the look and feel that’s made the program a best-seller for Mac-based audio. Among the highlights are enhanced playlist editing (including podcast publishing); a new "cache in RAM" feature designed to eliminate disk access bottlenecks by loading files into RAM; new sound-design tools; a new looping algorithm that uses additive synthesis to make samples sustain more naturally, and more. Peak XT Pro lists for $1,199; an upgrade from previous Peak Pro versions is $499. Many of Peak’s essential features are available in a $129 Le version.
