There are eight new processors included in T-RackS 6, including an upgraded version of IK Multimedia’s referencing plugin Master Match. Dubbed the “next generation of intelligent mastering”, Master Match X is able to analyse your favourite reference songs and match their EQ, balance, compression, limiting and more.
There’s also an upgraded version of the T-RackS Channel Strip, which offers EQ, de-essing, dynamics processing and transient shaping in a single “lightning-fast” unit.

Elsewhere, new modules include Bass ONE, a “multi-algorithm” processor designed to tighten and polish the low end of a mix or master, and Lo-Fi Punch, which adds or alters audio texture via a harmonics and dynamics multiprocessor.
Additionally, T-RackS 6 features a new spring reverb, Dual Spring, which “pushes the concept” of spring reverb by adding “never-before-seen” parameters, like the ability to select the spring material, whether to use a stereo or mono single reverb, reverb length, reverb stretch and more.
And rounding things off in the new module department are Delay Lab, a modern delay unit with the ability to play with bit reduction and downsampling, Pusher, a saturation unit driven by a four-band processor delivering five different saturation types per band, and Filter Fusion, a “do-it-all” filter processor which offers five unique filter types, including a model of the Moog transistor ladder.

T-RackS 6 also boasts a redesigned GUI built for speed and functionality, “providing a faster, more responsive experience and offering resizing to adapt to users’ workflow preferences”. As IK explains, each plugin can now be resized on the DAW screen, so users can create and design any workflow they wish.
An all-new Mastering Console is included in T-RackS 6, and allows users to use T-RackS’ mastering processors outside of a DAW, set custom mastering chains and utilise instant total recall of a whole song’s chain and parameters on playback.
T-RackS 6 is fully compatible with both macOS and Windows computers, and supports AU, VST 3 and AAX plugin formats.
