Computer Music has taken an in-depth look at T-RackS CS Grand in their April 2013 edition and rewarded it their prestigious Performance Award.

Reviewer Jon Musgrave was very impressed. Here are some of his key comments:

"Of the new modules, the British Channel strikes us as the most interesting. It's very close to SSL's E-series channel strip... the plug-in successfully captures that snappy compressor design with auto-gain make up and the transient-pummelling fast attack option both on tap."

"Our favourite of the Quad modules is the De-Esser. So many de-esser plug-ins seem to come up short but this one's great and can work in both high-pass (2 band) and band specific (3 band) modes."

"One of the best things about T-RackS is that you can use its various modules both within the shell or just as single instances."

"All in all, a well thought-out and effective update."

Jon's final conclusion is:

"T-RackS itself sounds as great as ever and the Custom Shop makes it fabulously flexible - can you resist buying them all?" !

Verdict:

+ Plug-ins work in and out of shell
+ Useful standalone option
+ Good shell design with great metering
+ Well designed comparison feature
+ CSR reverb modules are very flexible
