![]() For example, when inserting the EQP-1A processor on a piano track in Pro Tools, my only option is to load the entire T-RackS suite as an RTAS plug-in. Unfortunately, individual processors cannot be loaded as plug-ins. Other new additions include an Intelligent Brickwall Limiter and a "surgical" Linear Phase Equalizer. Of all the new processors, I was most impressed by the Opto compressor's gain reduction stage-very smooth. Though I've never seen or touched a real Fairchild 670, in my opinion, the T-RackS processor model holds its own against other 670 plug-ins I've heard. The EQP-1A processor performed faithfully to my ears. IK integrates their Dynamic Saturation Modeling (DSM) technology with a new process called Sonic Character Cloning (SCC) used to digitally create a model of the Fairchild and Pultec units. The T-RackS 3 Deluxe version features three new vintage processor models: a Fairchild 670, a Pultec EQP-1A, and an Opto compressor ambiguously modeled from the best of vintage analog units. While still offering a "mastering for the masses" approach with DAW plug-in integration, significant improvements in processor modeling, oversampling, and customization/automation options push T-RackS 3's standalone application towards a more advanced user-base. The manual read like a "mastering for dummies" quick-start guide-helpful, informative, and most of all, very encouraging for the uninitiated. ![]() ![]() ![]() My first lesson in audio mastering consisted of reading the documentation included with an early standalone version of T-RackS 24 that I purchased in 1999.
