This review is from: Bias Peak LE 6 (CD-ROM)

Great functionality for a basic audio editor. All the function and none of the fluff. It works well in Leopard. My only gripe was the error messages sent to the user don't explain what I'm doing wrong in the software. Once you figure the work around for the issues everything moves very seamlessly. When I worked more on PC I used Sonic Foundry for the majority of my creative audio work. Now on a Mac, Peak has been the best on that Platform.

5.0 out of 5 stars Digitizing vinyl LP records, August 11, 2010

This review is from: Bias Peak LE 6 (CD-ROM)

After switching from PC to Mac, I researched and trial-tried several different brands of software designed for this purpose, and couldn't be happier with my final decision to purchase Bias's Peak 6 LE a year ago. With a collection of more than 10,000 LPs, I have since purchased their SoundSoap and SuperFreq plugins, and used them to digitize more than 500 LPs. For the casual user or those with just a handful of albums to digitize, there are easier and cheaper (some free) methods. While I would judge the learning-curve to effectively use Peak and its plug-ins to be moderately significant, discriminating users will benefit from the broad flexibility and quality provided by the sound processing software made by Bias.

A few additional notes for making superior digital copies from your analog (LP) sources:
1. Start with a quality playback front-end; turntable, stylus, electronics.
2. I bypass my Mac's sound card in favor of using quality, out-board D/A and A/D processors for recording and playback.
3. Thoroughly clean your LPs before digitizing them. I use a VPI wet-vacuum record cleaner.
4. Use post-processing software (SoundSoap & SuperFreq) judiciously and conservatively.
