High transparency, extremely high quality audio processing throughout the whole signal path
You may think digital processors are transparent in general, and of a quality high enough for audio mastering. That's not always true. Very simple processing like a filter or a dynamic gain change can literally ruin your sound without any possibility of rescue if it’s not performed at the highest possible quality.
T-RackS 3 delivers incredible purity, transparency and fidelity that is far superior to the vast majority of plug-ins you could compare it with. If you are familiar with the sound of top quality analog and digital hardware equalizers that are used daily in top mastering houses, you'll immediately recognize the quality and purity typical of those units here, and if you're not, you'll experience what high quality equalization means.
Oversampling perfected. Many digital processors use oversampling to achieve better sound. Unfortunately, many of them, under critical listening sessions, can be found to achieve no significantly better (or even slightly worse) results than the regular sampling rate option. This is because the upsampling and downsampling processes are not done at an adequate level of quality, in other words: typically what is improved by running a processor at double sampling frequency is partially compromised by the loss of quality in the upsampling and downsampling process. There are only a few pieces of gear, mainly extremely expensive hardware that really realize oversampling the way it should be done. T-RackS 3 is one of them. We wanted to offer the same quality of the highest caliber mastering tools, and the result is a process that has no side effect at all on the sound: total transparency. So what you hear is exactly the same sound of the processor running at double sampling rate, with no side effects.
