Note: pricing is per module. After purchasing, you will be ble to log on to the IK Multimedia site and download one of the 10 plug-ins described below.
T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series offers each of the 10 modules included in the award-winning T-RacKS 3 Deluxe Mastering & Mixing Suite, available as individual processors that operate as native VST, AU, or RTAS plug-in, for more convenient usage inside any popular DAW when mixing individual tracks.
In addition to being used as a plug-in on individual tracks, all T-RackS 3 singles can be integrated into the the T-RackS 3 Standard Mastering & Mixing Suite as a user’s needs expand. For example, a user who owns the T-Racks 3 Standard suite can add the Vintage Compressor 670 module and integrate it into the 12 slots in the series/parallel chain for sophisticated routing and parameter recall.
The T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series includes these 10 plug-ins:
- Vintage Tube Compressor/Limiter model 670
- Vintage Tube Program Equalizer

T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series has all the tools you need to create superb, tube-toned or digital-tuned, mixes and masters on you DAW.
Its rich, warm sound combines tube-modeled and state-of-the-art digital processors on top of its classic top-notch analog classics. The complete metering section keeps all the most important variables of your sound under control. A truly superior set of processors that will put 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 series offers this kind of dedicated environment for such an important task, and nothing sounds like T-RackS 3.
10 effect processors
6 T-RackS processors:
- 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 6 completely identical bands that can be set to all available filter types, and that can span the whole spectrum range.
- High quality, high precision, complete metering suite
A precision three-scale Peak meter, Real Perceived Loudness meter, Phase scope, Phase correlation, Spectrum analyzer with Peak, RMS and Averaging indicators, RMS meter, Loudness and RMS metering "optimal" zones' indication.
4 Classic T-RackS processors:
- Classic T-RackS Compressor
A Classic tube stereo compressor/leveler designed for mastering.
- Classic T-RackS Multi-band Limiter
A Multiband master stereo limiter.
- Classic T-RackS Clipper
A soft-clipping stage to create warm, saturated mastering effects.
- Classic T-RackS Equalizer
A state-of-the-art six band parametric equalizer, modeled on classic top quality analog gear.
All-platform plug-ins
- VST, Audio Units, RTAS plug-ins fully integrate with all of today's popular DAWs
- Can be integrated within T-RackS 3 Standard Mastering & Mixing Suite plug-in or standalone
- Built-in dithering with various options
- Automation made 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
- Non-destructive basic audio editing
SCC™ technology
With over 10 years of experience in analog-modeled software, IK has pioneered this technology and accumulated more experience than any other plug-in manufacturer in the field. This has resulted in several improvements like the unique DSM™ (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) and now the SCC™ (Sonic Character Cloning). SCC™ has been developed 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 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 (many of which can't be found anymore because their 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 an 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 won’t be able to tell the difference.
