Manufacturer's Description for Bias Deck Multi-Track Digital Audio Software (Macintosh)

Take a close look at Deck 3.5. You'll find that no other Mac-based multitrack digital audio workstation touches Deck's combination of features, speed, compatibility, and value.

Need a professional audio solution for film or video? With Deck 3.5, you can spot effects, edit dialog, process soundtracks, record ADR-style voiceovers and craft complex mixes to stereo or complete 5.1 surround -- all while in perfect sync to a QuickTime movie or DV clip. For music production, Deck 3.5 is a dream: It's stable, capable, and sonically superb, with up to four real-time effects plug-ins per track. Working in broadcast? Deck 3.5 is fast, easy, and a remarkably cost-effective editing platform. And, its broad range of audio tools (including surround mixing) are perfectly suited to multimedia development -- for video games, the Web, presentations, or whatever.

With Deck 3.5, your creative potential is unlimited, thanks to its easy and intuitive user interface, scores of available plug-ins, and so much more. Simply put, nothing else gives you so much for so little.

"It's not an audio editor, it's a freaking virus."

Sound: Operations like time-stretch and phase-vocoding introduce nasty clicks in sound files. Feature: The feature set WOULD BE good IF the program worked as it should. Ease of Use: Peak is rather easy to use, however I've had to reconfigure my keys dozens of times because of some bug that made Peak "forget" them. Quality: This program is FULL OF BUGS. It WILL CORRUPT YOUR FILES, just like a VIRUS. Yesterday I opened a file with it to listen to it. When I closed it WITHOUT EDITING IT, it was CORRUPT! Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them. Perhaps I should sue them for all the time and work their product made me lose.

Style of Music: Electronica

"Do not buy this product!!!"

Sound: The sound quality is very poor as the software has some major bugs that frequently result in distortion and noise. Feature: Features would be O.K. if the software worked. Quality: As I said, it has significant problems. Manufacturer Support: Ineffective. The Wow Factor: I would like to get rid of it. Overall: Try one of the other audio software companies (Logic, Cubase, ProTools, Etc.).
