BIAS Deck 3.0 Features New User Interface, Adds VST Support

Berkley Integrated Audio Software, Inc.announced Deck 3.0, a brand-new version of their multitrack digital audio workstation software for Macintosh. This important upgrade expands Deck's real-time effects capabilities and includes a major update to the program's graphic user interface. BIAS continues to develop Deck, and users can look forward to future enhancements in addition to the new features in Deck 3.0.

Closely following the recent release of Deck 2.7, which included integration of Steinberg's popular ASIO standard for third-party audio hardware, this new version of Deck now offers support for VST, Steinberg's widely adopted real-time plug-in format. "We are pleased to bring VST support to Deck," said Jason Davies, VP of Worldwide Sales for BIAS. "Deck has always been a leading native Macintosh multitrack editing and mixing environment. Adding support for VST plug-ins, a standard for native audio processing on the Mac, is a natural development direction for Deck, and one that our customers will greatly benefit from."

In addition to VST plug-in support, Deck 3.0 sports a brand-new user interface. The new interface gives the program a more contemporary look, a welcome addition since Deck's graphic user interface has largely remained the same since 1997. Pricing and Availability

Deck 3.0 will be available Q2 2001 through the worldwide network of authorized BIAS dealers and distributors. Deck has a suggested retail price of $399.00. BIAS Deck 2.7 owners will be eligable for a free upgrade to Deck 3 when available.
