The thing which is so good with this 'valve sim' comp is that you can get drastic compression if required, but whatever you do the sound has 'breathing' and still retains dynamic's, but in a really sweet tasty was, totaly different to your standard tranny or dig' compressor - NOTHING sounds like a valve comp' and T-RACKS really have done themselves proud with this valve comp' emulation!! you can go from subtle and soft compression, thru 'adding warmth & 'hum', right to 'pumping the roof off!' - VERY nice.

The you got a compressor section, all pretty standard controls, but the sound really does simulate valve comp well. it'd be nice if the screen could be 'un-latched' from the main body tho and re-sized to whatever you like, as the screen on the version I tried tonight (v1, old) whilst VERY handy could be bigger - Anyways, it's easy to setup eq's and compare with a handy IN/OUT switch. Handily on the right-hand green 'oscilloscope-like' screen display you can see the curves adjust as you tweak. You really do get what sounds like a rack of good ol' vintage gear. T-Racks says it's: 'modeled on classic top quality analog gear' - and it certainly sounds good, in fact, it's frighteningly good. You get a 4 band semi-parametric eq, each with gain, frequency & hi and lo 'Q' switches. T-Racks is designed to emulate a Pro analog valve gear sound, and all the control & options for settings you need are realistic to this. you don't get tons of menu's and settings and sub-settings and the rest. You can select in PREF (preferences) any of 3 default included skins, and I do beleive there are other available.Īnyways, it reeally looks good and the interface is well thought out. Th first thing that strikes you about T-Racks is the superb GUI. This is not an editor or anything like that but rather think of it as a suite of processors for adding that mastering sound & 'Hotness'Īs for file types, T-RackS® 24 now supports 24 bit Aiff, Wav and SDII files for importing and exporting. T-Racks is a s/w rack of mastering tools which works as a standalone - also available as a Pro-Tools RTAS plugin - You load waves into it to master and render the output to file. I borrowed a copy to check it out so really. I heard about it first thru the Funnily I never checked it, but tonight I did, and my God this things is superb!. IK Multimedia T-Racks 24 T-Racks have this product out for some time, and i'm just adding it into the listings.
