I heard that Sound Forge is coming to the Mac. This set of teasers is supposedly the proof.

I was told to down-grade the plugs if I wanted to see the actual PSP interface. Not acceptable. I use PSP plugs quite a bit. So, now I don't really use PEAK anymore (even the latest upgrade will not show the PSP plugsd completely so I am not upgrading).



It is indeed the cocoa vs. carbon issue. However, if you load the VST versions of the PSP plugs in Peak, you will see the proper GUI.

Although, you won't have access to your custom presets if you saved those from an Audio Units instance.

So I have mostly been using Wave Editor for the PSP plugs and others.

Now that I own DSP-Quattro, I will try to learn it well enough to see if it can become my primary mastering tool.
