T-RackS 3 features

T-RackS 3: Richer, More Nuanced and, Ultimately, A Lot More Musical
Layman's Reviews rave about T-RackS 3 Deluxe in their in-depth analysis

UK-based Layman's Reviews have taken an unusually in-depth look at T-RackS 3 Deluxe to understand how it ticks. Their results are impressive:

"The sound that the Vintage Tube Compressor provides is unquestionably superb. It imbues that much sought-after, magical 'glue' effect upon anything that's thrown at it, while still preserving a great deal of clarity and focus within the mix. In fact, it seems almost criminal to restrict the Vintage Tube Compressor to mastering duties; before long we found ourselves using it for much more, such as tightening up drum parts."

"When put side-by-side with Izotope's Ozone 4, the sound offered by T-RackS is richer, more nuanced and, ultimately, a lot more musical."

"One point of interest here is the RMS meter's 'Perceived Loudness' indicator. This provides a reference as to how loud the inputted audio 'sounds', based on the genre of the production, which is specified in the metering's settings. A quick check with some professional productions reveals this feature to be surprisingly accurate; the loudness suggestion for 'Pop Rock' is appropriately raucous."

"When used in standalone mode, T-RackS 3 also has another rather handy trick up its sleeve: the ability to save and compare up to four different mastering chains side-by-side per project."

And their final conclusions:

"The quality of the effects processing seems to single-handedly justify the sub-£400 price tag, and with a couple of extra metering and workflow-based goodies thrown in for good measure, it is more than worthy of a recommendation... For the bedroom producer taking your first steps into mastering, you can't go far wrong with T-RackS 3."

Key Points:
+ Amazing sound quality
+ Superb value for money
+ Authentically analog character
+ Handy metering tools
+ Option to compare mastering chains
