The IK Multimedia T-RackS plug-in has everything you need to create superb, tube-toned masters on your desktop.

• State-of-the-art 6 band Mastering EQ
• Tube modeled stereo Compressor
• Multi-band Master Limiter
• Soft clipping output stage
• Complete Mastering Suite

Its rich, warm sound starts with algorithms based on true analog circuitry. Its familiar interface makes it easy to control five powerful processors: EQ, compressor, limiter, soft-clipping output stage, and a complete mastering suite. Enhances mix frequencies, stereo images, dynamic range and gives your audio a seamless, top notch sound.

T-RackS plug-in includes

• a state-of-the-art EQ
• a classic tube modeled compressor
• a multi band master limiter
• a soft-clipping stage
• a complete mastering suite containing all the plugs in one efficient, "gold sounding" mastering plug-in built with actual physical models of tube circuitry.

With its separate processors, astonishing warmth and ease-of-use, you'll be putting a polish on your tracks you may have never thought possible. All this, while adding the beautiful warmth and space of the tube devices it emulates. No other plug-in offers this kind of dedicated environment for such an important task and none sounds like T-RackS.

• 5 sound processors: with its great sounding, analog-modeled Equalizer, Compressor, Limiter and the Soft-clipping output stage, T-RackS® includes everything you need to create final masters.
• Specially Developed for Mastering: no other single software processor sounds like T-RackS® and none make mastering so easy. It can vastly enhance mix frequencies, broaden the stereo image as well as boost or precisely level the dynamic range. All this, while adding the beautiful warmth and space of the tube-devices it emulates.
• Outstanding "Analog-Modeled" Sound: T-RackS®' astonishing sound is created with algorithms based on real analog circuitry. This is what makes T-RackS® sound so similar to real analog audio hardware, and so unique when compared to other software. Click here to see what user say about T-RackS' unique sound.
• High Order 32 bit Internal Resolution: with 32 Bit floating point resolution, T-RackS® uses the best possible method to physically model analog components, resulting in an amazingly real tube sound. Only without the noise!
• High Productivity, Ease of Use: not only does it sound analog, it acts analog! T-RackS® is so easy to use because its interface resembles a typical rack of hardware with analog controls.
• Superior Quality: T-RackS® has the best quality-to-price ratio of any top-selling sound processor, is an incredible value and is an indispensable mastering tool for any studio, be it pro or project.
