ENTIRE BIAS PRODUCT LINE NOW AVAILABLE ON MAC OS X

Suite of Mac OS X-Native Pro Audio Tools Includes Peak 3.0, Deck 3.5, Vbox 1.1 and SuperFreq

Macworld Expo • New York- July 17, 2002 • BIAS, Inc. announced today that its entire line of pro audio production software is available now for Mac OS X, Apple's super-modern operating system.

"We were eager to get our audio products up and running on Mac OS X so that our customers could reap the benefits of more features, power and performance than was previously possible on earlier versions of the Mac OS," said Steve Berkley, CEO and president of BIAS, Inc. "Now that the entire product line is shipping and available on Mac OS X, we are sure that our users won't be disappointed"

"Mac OS X's Core Audio offers unprecedented low-latency I/O and superior overall performance for the audio professional," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Congratulations to BIAS on bringing their entire product line to Mac OS X. BIAS is an important developer for the Mac and for professional audio and we look forward to seeing more great products from them in the future.

"BIAS established itself early on as a leading developer of Mac OS X-native audio software with the release of Peak DV 3.0 (the digital video edition of the award-winning digital audio editing application) in November 2001, the first pro audio application available for Mac OS X. The full version of Peak 3.0 shipped in the first quarter of 2002, and Peak 3.1 is being released later this month.

Early this year BIAS also shipped one of the very first Mac OS X-native VST audio plug-ins — the SuperFreq 10-band paragraphic EQ. Last month the company released Deck 3.5, the Mac OS X-native version of the highly-acclaimed multitrack recording editing and mixing application. Deck 3.5 is the very first surround-capable multitrack digital audio workstation available for Mac OS X. And today BIAS is announcing that Vbox 1.1, its revolutionary audio signal processing control environment, is now available for Mac OS X, making BIAS the first pro audio manufacturer to bring its entire product line to Mac OS X.

BIAS will be showing its entire suite of Mac OS X audio software products in the Guitar Center booth (Booth #561) at Macworld Expo. BIAS product specialists will be on hand for demonstrations and special show pricing will be offered.
