I used deck back in the day when it was owned by macromedia. Then BIAS came along and made it a bit better. They probably closed up shop because garageband is far better than their 2-300 dollar product. Tough to compete with free.

Logic, Cubase, ProTools, Digital Performer are all leagues ahead of Deck. Peak is pretty good from what I have heard. I just use audacity for that stuff myself though.

wow deck goes waaaay back...

at work we used cool edit pro which became adobe audition. I signed the petition for it to be ported to mac but it wasn't until 2010

I got deck le at guitar center around 2002 and used it for about 5 years in os 9. it was awesome. I only had 8 tracks which forced me to be frugal :-) I miss the raw sound. I loved bringing up the little mixer and setting levels everything was so simple :-)

I didn't know what a sequencer was just recorded a drum machine and layered guitar bass keys and vocals over. fun times!

haven't used deck in years went to garageband and logic express. I admit I miss deck.

if adobe audition wasn't $350 I'd use it. never could figure out protools.

I never got good recordings with deck for some reason. Probably because their stereo capability for tracks on the version I had was horrible. I had to use two tracks panned to either side to get a stereo track. BIAS incorporated the stereo tracks when they acquired the company (I think version 2.5). I was already out of recording and never really used it until I bounced my tracks to import into GB years later. It seemed the program was better in version 3. I downloaded the trial version so I could bounce my tracks down.
