BIAS Peak Pro - 6.0.2

I have to hand it to BIAS on this one – Peak 6 rocks. I've used previous versions going all the way back to version 2 and version 6 is by far the best audio editor I've used. I've used just about every audio editor out there – from former shareware apps to wanna be pro editors – and by far, Peak leads the pack. The sound quality is stunning and until recently I didn't realize it was due to the high quality SRC. I love the new playlist, dithering, looping and additional plug-ins. The new version also includes SoundSoap which is great for noise reduction and I'm definitely going to take BIAS up on their latest upgrade offer to go to Peak Pro XT. I've just mastered my band's CD and when I contacted the replication plant, they requested I deliver a DDP file set. Thankfully, the XT version includes this – along with killer plug-ins. There are certainly some cheap audio editors out there, but they lack the features and high quality DSP. There's something to be said for a product that has over ten years of experience and so many professionals using it. Thanks BIAS for hitting a home run with this release! And for those of you who can't afford the Pro edition, check out LE – it's under $100 and well worth the price. Their support is also great – they actually pick up the phone and return voice mails...what a concept!! As for authorization, I don't know what people are whining about – you get two authorizations which can be used on up to two machines at a time. It's similar to iTunes so you can remove an authorization if needed and if you lose one, like I did when I had a mother board failure, I just contacted BIAS and they reset my authorization count – I did have to contact them, but once they knew I was legit, it was no problem. Nice guys too who really do have a passion for audio and the users they serve.
