T-RackS 3

[TheBlackSheep]

Anyone here using T-RackS 3? How good this suite is?

Yeah I've got it - I haven't used it on it's own to master anything (I tend to do half the work in my DAW and just use T-Racks for the final touches) but it's worked great so far. The Brickwall Limiter is great, you can really crush things a lot before you get any distortion.

The only issue I have is that you have to set the sample rate etc. of each project through the settings menu - when you load tracks in it doesn't automatically change to fit them, and it doesn't ask you what you want to run at when you start the program. It's no major inconvenience though.

I demoed it and it sounded phenomenal but it was INSANELY taxing on my CPU. To the point that I couldn't imagine using it on the master bus of a large mix.

I'm curious to try the Fairchild and Pultec emulations, as well as the clipper. Been wanting a Gclip replacement for a while.

I own the Standard version and I use the compressor on the 2bus very often. I really like pushing it, coz it adds some nice little dirt to the whole mix. They are CPU-hogs though... I use the EQ sparingly and do not use the limiter nor the clipper, because I have Stillwell's Event Horizon+ doing this job for me. These things are not transparent ones, but as I said add some dirt and crunch which I find useful. Therefore you cannot compare them to e.g. the UAD Precision series.
I have heard great things about the plugins of the Deluxe version (Pultec and Fairchild emulations, which are available as standalone plugin-versions as of yesterday). But I am on PTLE, so I need to check if they introduce latency (I guess so, because the standard version does) ;-(.
