IK Multimedia on Monday announced full support for Apple's Intel-based Macs. The company says it has been testing products for use with the new processor architecture and will start shipping compatible products during the second quarter of 2006, enabling IK users to combine the increased processing power of the new Intel based platform with IK's line of music production tools. "The blazing speed of our new machines provides a significant performance boost to all Universal applications running natively. We¹re thrilled that IK Multimedia will ship Universal versions of its award-winning products, to offer Mac users powerful audio creation and production tools." Late last month, the company began shipping AmpliTube 2.0, an update to its popular guitar amp and effects modeling plug-in.
