Finesse Your Tracks with the Legendary Vibe of Sunset Sound

Would you like to finesse your tracks with the iconic sound and vibe of a legendary Hollywood recording studio? Sweetwater has a plug-in for that. T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb from IK Multimedia offers an entire suite of convolution reverbs that capture the sonic magic of each studio, booth, live chamber, and plate at Sunset Sound, home of countless hit records. The impulses were meticulously modeled using the original consoles in each control room and Sunset’s own microphones. IK Multimedia T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb — it’s the next best thing to booking your session at the classic studio itself.

The Sound of a Legendary Studio

Opened in 1958, Sunset Sound became famous for recording smash hits from the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Neil Young, the Beach Boys, and Led Zeppelin — to name a few — cementing its reputation as one of the world’s top studios. Since then a never-ending stream of artists have kept Sunset very busy: Van Halen, Prince, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Tom Petty, Whitney Houston, Doobie Brothers, Elton John, Alanis Morissette, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against The Machine, Sheryl Crow, Audioslave, Ryan Adams, Beck, and many more.

A Full Suite Of Reverb Effects In A Single Plug-in

To capture the unique, characterful acoustics of each of Sunset’s three studios, IK built an all-new convolution engine, capturing the sound of the room, each control room’s unique console, and Sunset’s impressive mic locker; so it’s as if you’re really there. Each studio offers a live room and isolation booth plus Sunset’s three live echo chambers, as well as two vintage plate reverbs and a spring reverb still in use at the facility today, giving you a full suite of reverb effects in a single plug-in.

Use Standalone or as a Plug-in

Like all T-RackS plug-ins, T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb offers you two ways to work: as a standalone plug-in, or inside the T-RackS 5 shell. Use these together with any of the other T-RackS processors for a powerful, streamlined workflow, mixing and mastering faster than ever before. The T-RackS shell is a unique, modular system with up to 16-processor chains, series and parallel routing, easy A/B/C/D comparison, up to 192kHz/32-bit floating-point processing, and more; in both a plug-in and standalone mastering application.

IK Multimedia T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb Features:

  • Captures the acoustics of the iconic Sunset Sound studios
  • Includes each studio’s live room, iso booth, and 3 echo chambers
  • Includes 3 plate and spring reverbs
  • New convolution engine for ultra-realistic sound
  • Preserves the sound of each studio’s original console
  • Pre Delay and Decay Time controls, EQ, and mic options
  • Works as a standalone plug-in or inside the T-RackS 5 Shell

Bring the sound of sunset studios into your bedroom studio

Mind blowing

Finally I bought this after letting the demo expire long ago.
I have so many high end expensive reverbs that I didn't want to add to my growing list.
Well let me tell you all that this reverb is truely special and unique.
I didn't expect the rooms and booths to be so useful and more importantly, this reverb makes the source sound like it's in the actual space as opposed to having a reverb added to the sound source.

I am writing this review because it deserves 5 stars. Vintage vibes at its best!!!

Sunset Sound Studios

This is a great room emulation.
Rated 4/5

Great sound, weird installation

This sounds great, as good as Ocean Way from UAD but "pleasantly different". Where the Ocean Way ambience is too big and open, the Sunset Sound creates that intimate room sound better. The technology appears to be mostly IR based, and worked well with multiple tracks being bussed to the plugin with varying pre-delays to create some room depth. All in all, I can see myself using this for my home studio a lot, to help me record really dead in the room, then use IR's to place my instruments into a bigger virtual recording room. The install is a little weird in that it wants to add 3.3GB of files to my hard drive for the whole T Racks suite, just for a single plugin. I had to hide all the ones I didn't purchase (all 51 of them) in my DAW - that is definitely something that IK should address, hence the 1 star deduction.

Great Plug-in - bloated install

I've had the great fortune of recorded at Sunset Sound. The chambers are THAT sound.

The plug-in does a great 'profile' of the (3) studio live rooms, chambers and plates. It's old VH in a plug-in for guitar players.

For the special holiday price - it's a no-brainer… however as mentioned before it's a mega install as you have to download all the T-racks plugins which are 'locked' (52) at the time of this review.

Again the plug-in is great for that Sunset Sound vibe. If you're already in IK ecosystem it's a 30 second unlock. If you're a fresh installer 30 minutes or more.
