In this age of "do-everything" digital audio workstations, it seems they all forgot something big — true, professional-quality sample editing and CD mastering. Award-winning editing, processing, and sound design tools are now joined by a brand-new playlist, powerful effects plug-ins, and even more built-in DSP technology. Peak Pro 5 has everything you've been missing. It's the perfect complement to your DAW — or, perhaps we should say, it's the perfect finishing touch.
Seamlessly Edit Your Audio with Peak's Intuitive Workspace
Peak Pro's environments are dedicated to editing, processing and mastering. With this kind of focus, it's no wonder audio pros reach for Peak when they're ready to do serious editing, sound design, or master their mixes. Editing is lightning fast, non-destructive, and includes unlimited undo/redo with a complete edit history. Peak's speed, ergonomics, and flexibility are unmatched by editing features built into DAWs. All that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Process with Dozens of DSP Tools and Plug-ins
Peak includes dozens of fully integrated DSP tools — including one of the industry's highest-quality sample rate converters. What does this mean? A better sounding final product. Peak supports Audio Units and VST format plug-ins, making it easy to expand your system to suit your effect processing needs. The Vbox matrix allows for quick mastering, and endless sound design options. Integrated Batch Processing can apply DSP tools and plug-in effects automatically.
Master Your Mixes to Perfection
Load mixes into Peak's Playlist, which offers both list and graphic waveform views, making CD assembly fast and intuitive. Balance levels, and create custom track transitions. Adjust EQ, compression, and other effects for each track. Add PQ subcodes, CD-TEXT — for artist and track name display, as well as ISRC codes, for embedded artist, copyright, UPC/EAN barcode info, and much more. When you're done, output in the desired format.
Output in a Variety of Formats
Once your Playlist is as you like it, choose from a variety of output options. Compiling the perfect voiceover from multiple takes? Bounce your playlist as a file with only the best ones included. Need to burn music tracks to Red Book audio CD? Click a button, and choose from multiple burn options. Working with a big name record label? Add the optional DDP extension to export your masters in this popular format. Other export options include PQ sheets, and Jam Image files.
