IK Multimedia T-rackS CS Grand review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

IK Multimedia T-RackS CS Grand impresses with its flexible Custom Shop system and a solid array of mastering tools. Musicians can enjoy standalone or plugin use, making it versatile for various setups. The British Channel module is a standout, closely mimicking the SSL E-Series, while the CSR reverbs add depth to the mix. The intuitive interface of the Quad modules, especially the De-Esser, offers precision and ease. However, some users might find the shell's lack of global level control a slight drawback. Overall, it's a well-thought-out and effective update, making it a worthy investment for music producers.

A phenomenal tool that can help shape all your sounds

I used the original T-Racks for many years before I splashed out and got the full package. What a joy to work with. So many models of both vintage and modern compressors, limiters, EQs and a fine reverb kit. One special feature is an amazing optical compressor modelled after real hardware designed by IK Multimedia's COO, absolutely great for vocals.
