Peak Pro 5 XT is a software bundle including the Peak Pro 5 audio editor and a suite of mastering effects and noise-reduction and audio-restoration application. MacWorld give it a very good review, praising both the Peak Pro application itself as well as the extras.
They say that Peak Pro 5 is still unmatched for detailed editing of individual files. New features like the Region Split functions and Snap To options give more control when slicing and dicing sounds, and they really like the new high-resolution, tape-style scrubbing. This is great for playing with and making silly noises, just like you used to do with your brother’s tape deck when you were 8. (It’s also useful for finding edit points.)

Another feature that raises this above the competition is that it’s the only Mac waveform editor that supports both VST and Audio Unit plug-ins. To go with this, Peak Pro 5 XT includes a whole lot of plugins, notably SoundSoap 2 and SoundSoap Pro, for audio restoration, EQ, compression, noise reduction and so on. The reviewer likes the thoughtful touches on these, especially the compare buttons which make it easy to compare different setting of the plugins to find the best one. The tools even look beautiful as well as sound good.
Pek Pro 5’s CD mastering and authoring function also rate highly. the playlist editor lets you set up crossfades between tracks, and the “excellent” sample rate conversion makes sue that your tracks still sound great when burned to CD (assuming they sounded great in the first place, of course). And for working with a lot of audio, Peak Pro 5’s batch-processing feature rates as “a terrific tool for managing lots of audio files.”
The final score is a very good 4.5 mice (out of five). They call this package “an irreplaceable timesaver” and conclude that “when it comes to day-to-day work with stereo files, you’ll have a hard time finding a better tool than Peak Pro XT 5.”

Bias Inc. has the latest iteration of Peak, a fabulous digital stereo editing, processing, mastering, and delivery application for the Macintosh. Version 5 adds a professional playlist page/editor and fully integrated 100% replication-ready Redbook CD burning with facilities for ISRC entry, writing CD track indexes, PQ subcode editing, CD-Text and optional DDP file export. Disc Description Protocol master recording files are being demanded by more record companies these days.
With Peak Pro XT 5 you get one of the highest quality sample rate converters available for the best sound when going from 24-bit to 16-bit CD or if you have to convert 96kHz sampled audio down to CD quality. Version 5 also supports plug-in formats like VST and AU with Automatic Latency Compensation and you can add the Master Perfection Suite of Bias plug-ins that includes: GateX noise gate: PitchCraft for correcting pitch or transposition; RepliQ--a linear and matching equalizer--match the sound of an unknown equalization curve and apply it to another file; Reveal is a toolkit of seven audio analysis instruments; Squeez-3 & -5 are two multi-band compressor/limiter/expanders; and SuperFreq bundles four, six, eight and ten band parametric equalizers.
Peak Pro XT 5 Studio Edition ups the ante even more by including both SoundSoap 2 and SoundSoap Pro restoration plug-ins. These also run as RTAS plug-ins if you have Pro Tools also on your computer. SoundSoap Pro save the day on a recent Pope John Paul II DVD when I engineered the sound track. On camera, over 20 different famous actors read the pope's prayers and poems over a music bed I helped record and mix. The audio quality of the actor's narrations (supplied to us) was horrible--low recording level, video camera noise, background noise, hum and distortion. Using SoundSoap Pro, I washed completely these audio tracks and restored them to pristine quality before the final mix.
With more new features I can fit here including: MIDI implementation for playing a virtual instruments; five insert paths; Recover Audio File for recovering damaged audio files; max file size now 10GB; and hi res tape-style scrubbing via Core Audio, Peak Pro XT 5 Studio Edition sells for $1,399 and is available from Bias Inc. at 707-782-1866 or www.bias-inc.com.
