Sonic Studio has announced that their newest professional application, soundBlade, is now shipping. First shown at the 120th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society in Paris, the product has entered distribution channels worldwide.

soundBlade runs natively on the secure and user friendly Mac OS X, and relies on Core Audio for default I/O so hardware lock–in is eliminated. For in–depth signal manipulation, soundBlade offers AU and VST plug–in support, and either type can be used in any order in the signal path. The application also combines Sonic Studio’s famed EFM™ and 4 point editing capabilities with their SSE™ real time audio engine and optional, accelerated DSP processing for the finest fidelity money can buy.

Combining Sonic Studio’s benchmark premastering functionality with the signal processing, restoration and comprehensive editing that discriminating mastering engineers have been asking for, soundBlade carries an MSRP of $1495. It is available now through Sonic Studio’s international network of distributors and channel partners who share the company’s commitment to quality and service.
