Sonic Studio has announced that it has begun shipping version 1.2.2 of its flagship product - soundBlade. Sonic Studio also announced a new, no-cost (le) version of its Sonic EQ that accompanies this new release. Both products have entered distribution channels worldwide. The 1.2.2 release incorporates hundreds of optimizations and stability enhancements.

Sonic EQ le is a proprietary implementation of equalizer that includes three different filter types, including a first order parametric, along with first order high and low shelves. Minimal phase topologies ensure inaudible artifacts even for radical settings. Its double precision operators, when used in soundBlade, provide the transparency that Sonic Studio products are known for. In a departure from previous Sonic EQ releases, Sonic EQ le can also be used with any Mac audio product that hosts VST plug-ins.

This free update for existing owners is available now through Sonic Studio's network of distributors and resellers or as a download from their web site. For more information, to grab your free copy of Sonic EQ le, or to arrange a trial run, visit Sonic Studio at www.sonicstudio.com.
