From Our Research Team:Great-sounding Tools for Mixing and Mastering Your Projects!The IK Multimedia T-RackS 3 Deluxe mastering and mixing software bundle gives you the tools you need to make your projects shine! T-RackS 3 Deluxe builds on the legacy of the fantastic T-RackS software, adding five great new processors for a total of 10 incredible mixing and mastering tools! Whether you're looking for clean clarity or rich analog character, this bundle has you covered. You can also tailor your signal chain to run up to 12 processors in parallel or series with the T-RackS 3 Deluxe!IK Multimedia T-RackS 3 Deluxe Mastering and Mixing Software at a Glance:
Get the true sound of classic hardware units T-RackS 3 includes a selectable 12-processor slot audio chain, arranged in two rows of four slots for parallel processing plus four serial final slots. Modules can be easily switched on/off with a single click, individually or all at once, at any time for quick a/b on the monitored audio, without having to navigate or scroll around. You get single-module or global chain visualization options plus a "compare" function with volume matching allows comparison between the sound of the processed version and the original, allowing you to really be able to judge the sound changes and not be mislead by a volume increase. Meter with confidence T-RackS 3 includes a new high quality, high precision, complete metering section. You get a precision three-scale Peak meter with accurate sample indicators and real digital “Over” indication, as well as a Real Perceived Loudness meter. This is an amazingly useful meter that is not included on most software processors. It shows the real loudness that will be perceived on your masters. Compare your preferred records with your works on this meter, and you’ll immediately see where to go with loudness management. Also included: a Phase scope, with options to match the style and indication you’re used to; Phase correlation; a Spectrum analyzer with Peak, RMS and Averaging indicators; and an RMS meter. Work in plug-in or Standalone mode The plug-ins fully integrate with all of today's popular DAWs, while Standalone mode allows for loading multiple audio files, previews them with all-independent settings and processes all of them with a single click. Standalone mode includes extremely high quality sampling rate conversion to write 44.1 kHz CD files, starting from any sampling rate. You get built-in dithering as well. Automation is easy - you can take snapshots within each song and automate processing parameter changes during the song, for example, when passing from verses to choruses, etc, all with a single click. You can also perform non-destructive basic audio editing. Get the true sound of classic hardware units IK developed SCC technology to "clone" the true behavior of an analog vintage processor down to its finest level of sonic detail for a faithful reproduction of all its tonal characteristics. This new emulation technology produces results that are indistinguishable from the originals, even for the professionally trained ear. Many pieces of vintage gear tend to have original and interesting circuit topology, due to the creative solutions that engineers were sometimes forced to put into place in order to overcome the limitations of components' technology. Vintage components' technology (much of which can't be found anymore because these components' technology became obsolete and un-economical) as well as their aging (some of the best sounding devices are 40-50 years old) played fundamental roles in giving these devices a unique musicality that is what the purist would define to be "the unmatched" by even the most advanced processors today. And finally, many of the unique sonic characteristics of these magnificent vintage units sometimes depended on erratic and unpredictable behavior of their electronics that would be considered unorthodox and unusable by today's science and standards. SCC technology has the ability, through a new analysis method developed by IK, to integrate all of the above and turn it into a mathematical algorithm that, for the first time, is able to take into consideration all of these complex variables and get an exact "clone" of the original. This is software emulation evolved to a sound quality never heard before. Sounds so close to the real thing that you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference. Five new processing tools, four T-Racks classics Vintage Tube Compressor/Limiter model 670 This model is based on the "Holy Grail" of compressors/limiters, the Fairchild 670. With a faithful reproduction of every control, this is an incredibly accurate model that captures every nuance of one of the best Fairchild units available. Vintage Tube Program Equalizer This model is based on what is universally known as one of the best and most musical program EQs ever made: the Pultec EQP-1A. Opto compressor Optical compression has a special sonic character that audiophiles can truly appreciate. Intelligent, multi-algorithm Brickwall limiter Multi-algorithm Brickwall limiter that can really make your masters loud without squashing them to a lifeless sound (unless you want that!). High precision, high definition Linear Phase Equalizer An accurate, high definition, high precision EQ that can be trusted for delicate Mastering tasks with six completely identical bands that can be set to all available filter types, and that can span the whole spectrum range. T-Racks 3 includes the Classic T-RackS Compressor, a classic tube stereo compressor/leveler designed for mastering, as well as the Classic T-RackS Multi-band Limiter, a Multiband master stereo limiter. You also get the Classic T-RackS Clipper, a soft-clipping stage to create warm, saturated mastering effects. The Classic T-RackS Equalizer, a state-of-the-art six band parametric equalizer, is modeled on classic top quality analog gear. This EQ can now be used in stereo or MS mode.

February 28, 2011 Music Background: Engineer, Producer, Drummer, Bassist Guitarist. A Great Recomendation.
by Rick from Lafayette NJ
I recently attended an in-depth recording seminar hosted by a well known producer and audio engineer (someone who has worked with many big names). The mastering section of the day long seminar was the... read more [+] part I was most interested in. After going through some basics and “tricks of the trade” our host was asked for any software recommendations. He recommended two in particular; Ozone and T-Racks. Between the two he said he was more likely to use new T-Racks S3. Based on his recommendation I bought the T-Racks S3 Deluxe package. I think this was an excellent choice.September 20, 2010 Music Background: Musician, recording engineer. Although I have only had it a very short time, I am truly amazed by the difference it makes to my mixes. I have a Tascam 2488 24 track and quite a lot of new and vintage outboard gear. The T-Racks mastering software has given my mixes the polish and dynamics that I could never achieve before without outsourcing my mixes to a mastering house (and paying big bucks). The presets in T-racks are amazing and are a great place to get started but you can easily tweak any of the presets and save them for future use by just renaming them. The parameters of each module are highly responsive. The “Compare” button allows you to instantly A/B the mastered sound with the original while the track is playing. One nice feature is the ability to load up to four different presets at one time by simply assigning various presets to the A B C D buttons on the interface. This allows you to compare any of four different mixes (plus compare any of them to the original track) by just clicking on each button while the track is playing. Imagine four mixes to listen to and tweak without stopping to load a new setting. The sounds of the compressors and limiters are excellent and the EQ modules are very responsive with great usable graphics. While I am a newbie to professional mastering I have more than 30 years of in studio recording experience. My main expertise has been in the field of recording, engineering and mixing the original tracks. I always left the professional mastering to others with more specialized (and very expensive) mastering equipment. T-Racks has put that equipment into my hands. Now it’s all up to me. I am loving it. close [-] Very nice all-in-one package
by Doug Langbehn of DugNAliss from Iowa City, IA, USA
I've been working very hard at "mastering" the mastering thing for about four years now and have gained enough ability to get some of my stuff passed on to national pro sound libraries. After slowly l... read more [+]earning the basics of the trade using a wide variety of high quality (e.g., Waves) and some not-so-high quality plug-ins, I want to say that I'm very pleased with T-RackS3 Deluxe. I'm finding it very easy especially to get crystal clear, very clean masters that have a nice pro polish while avoiding being overdone. The metering is very accurate and the opto-compressor and limiter in the Deluxe version perform beautifully for squeezing a couple of extra dB out of a mix without introducing the common distortions and squashing that I find very objectionable in a lot of modern Pop.April 13, 2009 Music Background: Pro musician, composer, project studio and small music publsihing owner Being able to work with mid-side mode is very useful-both for mastering and working on stereo width for individual tracks at earlier mix-down. However, this thing is a CPU hog (as of early 2009 computer technology), so for now, I use it mostly in stand-alone mode on stereo mix-downs. I can not overemphasize that the overall quality and usefulness of this product is light years ahead of the T-Racks 2. I don't even think of them as related products. The old version of T-Racks (version 2) was one of the first mastering products that I had, and I'm afraid that my naive use of the presets in that version helped lead me to horrible rookie errors in both mixing and mastering engineering. I'm not sure that a few of those old over-the-top presets (or their immediate descendent's) aren't still lurking somewhere in the menus- so it is important to study the topic of mastering seriously, cultivate some good taste, ears, and judgment, and then use them. (A lot of very talented people have devoted their whole careers to becoming very good at just this one aspect of the recording professions.) I'm not willing to say that you can get any and every possible sounding final recording out of this one product. It would also still be very easy to abuse and make a total hash of things if you don't know what you're doing. The Fairchild compression and the upgraded components carried over from T-Racks 2 certainly can impart a variety of colors on a mix, but for more idiosyncratic or personalized sounds, I'm still relying on my collection of mostly Waves and Sony-Oxford plug-ins. However, I've spent a lot of time evaluating those and getting to know their interactions and just what nuances they can impart. (I also paid a heck of a lot for them, so I'm biased against accepting that some of them may not be as useful to me as they once were.) Chaining together these other products and tweaking their interactions just right is a lot more difficult though, even with a fair amount of experience, so when I need a great sounding, clean, neutral to slightly bright master, it is now a no brainier for me to go straight to (and exclusively through) T-RackS3-Deluxe. close [-] Realy lovely and warm ! plug in for mastering .
