BIAS RELEASES UPDATES FOR VBOX, PEAK AND DECK
Vbox 1.2 now a Mach-o application on Mac OS X; Improved functionality in Peak 3.21 and Deck 3.5
Frankfurt, Germany • March 5, 2003 • Musikmesse • Booth #5.1 C44 • BIAS today announced updates to its core product line, Peak 3.21, Deck 3.52, and Vbox 1.2, improving performance and user experience in all three applications. Vbox, the revolutionary multi-effects graphic control environment for Mac and Windows, is now at version 1.2. Now a Mach-O application on OS X, this new version of Vbox is a native OS X application and runs with greater speed and efficiency as a result. As a Mach-O Carbon VST host, Vbox 1.2 is now fully compatible with SoundSoap, BIAS' newly released noise reduction solution for Mac and Windows.
Additionally, updates to Peak, the industry standard digital audio editing application for Mac OS X , and Deck, the highly acclaimed surround-capable multitrack editing and mixing application for Mac OS X, are also available. Both updates improve overall performance, functionality and user experience. Peak 3.21 addresses several issues, including more graceful opening of AIFC files without types and creators, and a problem where registration information could be asked for again after a change in network configuration. Deck 3.52 resolves a few issues including modem dial up upon launch, and Peak 3.2 grayed out when selecting Launch External Editor.
BIAS Peak 3.21, Deck 3.52, and Vbox 1.2 are also fully compliant with the latest update to OS X — version 10.2.3 Jaguar — Apple's latest update of it's ultra-modern operating system. Mac OS X v10.2.3 Jaguar adds many improvements for use with audio software and audio hardware — particularly USB audio hardware — and all BIAS products now benefit from these enhancements.
Pricing and Availability
Vbox 1.2 (MSRP $99) and peak 3.21 (MSRP $499) are free updates to registered users of Vbox 1.0 and Peak 3.2 respectively. They are currently available through the worldwide network of authorized BIAS dealers and distributors and directly from BIAS, Inc. Deck 3.52 (MSRP $399) will be available by the end of March 2003, and will be a free update to registered users of Deck 3.5x.
