And what's T-racks?
T-Racks is the first and only software dedicated entirely to
mastering. It offers a complete workstation with
analog-modeled circuitry in each of its three discrete
processors. Its outstanding performance is the result of
sophisticated physical modeling algorithms. No other software
or hardware is needed, only a standard Mac or PC. A
killer-tool for any studio, T-RackS includes:
- a state-of-the-art six band parametric equalizer
- a classic mastering stereo tube compressor/leveler
- a multiband master stereo limiter
- It's stand-alone software and not a plug-in.
- It's the first sound processor of its kind that offers a
complete analog workstation environment entirely
dedicated to mastering.
- It achieves one of the best-sounding performances on
the market thanks to its sophisticated phisycally
modeled algorithms designed on top-sounding rare
vintage equipment. T-RackS results can be achieved
only by a combination of very expensive sound
processors.
- As stand-alone software, it can be used in ALL
software/hardware studio-configurations and by ANY
user.
No other single software processor sounds like T-RackS and none makes mastering so easy.
It can vastly enhance mix frequencies, broaden the
stereo image as well as boost or precisely level the
dynamic range, without ever adding unwanted artifacts.
