BIAS, Inc. today announced the release of Peak Pro 7.0.3 — a new update for the popular audio editing and mastering application exclusively for Mac.

In addition to several enhancements – including optimizations for Mac OS X version 10.7 Lion – this new release includes a new application from Sonoris for DDP verification and playback. DDP (Disc Description Protocol), is a professional audio delivery format developed by DCA to ensure accurate replication for CD glass mastering.

PreSonus announced version 2 of Studio One, its groundbreaking, easy-to-use DAW for Mac OS X® (Snow Leopard and Lion) and Windows® XP/Vista/7 (and soon, Windows 8).

Version 2 offers more than 100 new features and enhancements, including fresh takes on multitrack comping, multitrack MIDI editing, transient detection and editing with groove extraction, and Folder Tracks. And only Studio One 2 offers exclusive, tightly integrated Melodyne pitch correction. Yet the software is still uncluttered and easy to use.

Moog Music today announced the release of The Ladder, a Professional 500 Series Dynamic Ladder Filter based on Bob Moog's original ladder filter design. The Ladder is Moog Music's first 500 series module for the Pro Audio market and is designed to add depth, flexibility and classic Moog vibe to sound sources.

The Ladder packs all the punch, fullness and analog euphoria of the original Moog Filter, but adds key component and feature upgrades required for professional studio use. From classic Moog filtering and
vibe to modern sweetening and wild, exciting behavior; The Ladder is a powerful, articulate sound sculpting tool.

Eventide today announced the Reverb 2016 Stereo Room and Omnipressor plug-ins for AU, VST, and the new Pro Tools Native format, AAX.

Eventide first native plug-ins will be available through Eventide software dealers, and on eventide.com beginning in November 2011 at a special introductory price of $149 and $99 respectively.

The Pro One belongs to the ultimate must-have synthesizers. Although it is a small monosynth that's pretty straight forward to use it offers some unique features that clearly distinguish it from its early 80s competitors.

The Live Pack reincarnation includes more than 200 loops that are organized in three categories: Beats, Free Running, Riddmical.
Also included in the Pack are 21 instruments. Combined with Live's sound shaping capabilities the Pro One gets lifted to the presence and is even playable polyphonic.

Solid State Logic, the world's leading manufacturer of professional analogue and digital audio consoles, announces the imminent release of new RTAS versions of the acclaimed SSL Duende Native plug-in collection.

"Although The Duende Native plug-in collection has always been available with an included RTAS wrapper, which has worked very well for most users, some users reported limitations when using the wrapped plug-ins within Pro Tools® DAW architecture in conjunction with DAW Controller hardware," says Niall Feldman, Director of New Products at SSL.
