BIAS, Inc. has
announced that its multi-effects control environment,
Vbox, will soon support both Mac OS X and Windows operating systems,
as well as Mac OS 9. BIAS Vbox 1.1 for Windows marks the company's
first product release for the Windows platform; Vbox 1.1 for Mac OS X
is among the first audio products for Apple's newest operating system.
BIAS Vbox (previously available for Mac OS 9 only) is a graphic
control environment for VST plug-ins that offers extensive
creative control. With its ability to combine, repatch, and mix
multiple VST plug-in effects - up to hundreds of simultaneous
plug-ins per channel - millions of unique sonic combinations are
possible. And since it's compatible with a huge range of commercial,
shareware, and freeware VST plug-ins, no other effects processing
program is more flexible, compatible, and powerful.
Vbox integrates into any VST host program - including BIAS Peak, BIAS
Deck, Steinberg Cubase, Steinberg Nuendo, Emagic Logic, and others -
for realtime effects processing. Vbox also works as a free-standing
application that can process and save audio files - or even record,
process, and save a live feed. A host of additional features make
Vbox the virtual effects box of choice for most any professional
audio project, including creative sound effects design, mastering,
DJ'ing, live performance, audio post-production, and radio production.
BIAS Vbox for Windows supports Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP. "We're thrilled to offer our first pro audio product to
the Windows community," said Steve Berkley, CEO and President of
BIAS, Inc. "With so many VST plug-ins now available for the PC, along
with VST host programs like Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Vbox is
certain to be a 'must-have' for many Windows-based audio
professionals and musicians."
Vbox for Mac OS X is the latest product in the company's line to be
ported to OS X. Vbox for Mac OS X is fully Carbonized, and will run
under either Mac OS X or OS 9. Vbox SE - identical to Vbox, except
for the latter's free-standing capability - is also Carbonized, and
has been fully integrated within Peak 3, BIAS' award-winning
editing/processing/mastering application. Vbox SE will also be
bundled free with Deck 3.5, BIAS' multitrack digital audio
workstation program.
Pricing and Availability
BIAS Vbox for Mac OS X will be available Q1 2002 for a suggested
retail price of US $99. (Vbox SE for OS X is bundled free with BIAS
Peak 3 and BIAS Deck 3.5.) Vbox for Windows will ship soon
thereafter, and will have a SRP of US $99. Both products are
available through the worldwide network of authorized BIAS dealers
