The best thing about these plugins are the resizable interfaces. I don’t care how good my Brainworx plugins sound, I hardly ever use them because I can’t see what the hell I’m doing 🤦♂️
@mary allen I use the 9000j on all my tracks cuz theyre 0 latency, but most compressors are gonna have latency if they're using built-in lookahead and the EQs probably have some lookahead as-well
@mary allen Ive literally never had any issues with running my computer in the internet and tracking or mixing, but I often hear a lot of engineers having to do all these different things to their computers for them to work. Not to call you out in particular but I think a lot of engineers aren’t very computer literate young and old alike. Like I run 500 plugins on my computer and I’ve never had any issues with any of them whether it be with ilok which I use the cloud version or any other authorization software
T-Racks is probably my favorite plugin series--even more than Waves, honestly. I'm in love with their new Saturator as well. And I dig your background sign: New Year, Who Dis?
I tell you what T-racks is good for. If you need a lot of plugins for a few hundred bucks, this is it. These work great for mastering, which is what they are made for. And they are good for mixing. I have Waves and some others as well. I use Waves the most in my mix. And I use T-racks, Waves, and Slate on all my masters.The IK Pultec sounds almost exactly like my real Pultec.
Pensado still my fav engineer to watch on youtube, if not just my fav engineer overall, but Pnsedo has always been at the the top of my list! He reminds me of my mom's family. Plus he likes a hot mix, who doesn't lol!
I really need to check out the new T-RACKS I found all the closeups and fancy effects on the video where not very needed tho a little distracting. the bypass section was perfect tho keep that please. and great work!!!
Paul Wills i can't figure out when a compressor Re triggers. Does it go through its motion fully every time it triggers? And then disengage? Or is it constantly retriggering it's effect when the level goes above the threshold even if it's already compressing? Lol I don't expect an explanation but that's my thing that I don't understand. Cheers.
@@MrSuganutz a compressor is trigger by the set attack and is disengaged by the release. Some compressors, such as a LA2A, are wired to have slower attacks to have a smoother application where as in many compressors like a tube tech and 1176, you can change the attack and release. Think, threshold is when will the compressor be engaged, attack is how fast it will engage, release is when how quickly it releases. Also, slower attacks allow the beginning transients through and faster attacks squash the initial signal coming through
After I bought Total Studio Max I didnt know what T-Racks was for. Then I learned that it is a mastering processor. Then I learned that its NOT a mastering processor, but everything I want in every channel and every chain. It is confusing at the beginning and the biggest barrier is not knowing what it is for. The answer is; its for EVERYTHING! Throw some T-Racks elements on to the track and start turning these knobs. Find a sound that make your ears horney and save it.
I bought the T Racks MAX recently and I,m very happy with it!! I wish you all my best Dave!! Cheers from The Netherlands, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - Epica.
Geen idee of je dit leest, maar ik snap die bundels niet zo goed. Ze zeggen dat je voor €150 38 mix plug-ins kan kopen in de MAX versie, maar je kan voor dezelfde prijs ook een bundel deluxe van maar 22 mix plug-ins kopen? Daarnaast, vind ik het raar dat ze per stuk gigantisch duur zijn, maar als je ze in een bundel hebt dan krijg je opeens bijna alles gratis. Kan je mij dat uitleggen?
Wow, a real pro using ikmultimedia’s plugins and very positive about them. Yet I often see many little people and wannabes here on UA-cam speaking trash about these plugins
They speak trash because the UI looks cartoonish compared to the competition. Amateurs listen with their eyes and not their ears. T-Racks on average is the best sounding plugins which are simple to use and I have compared them all
If you are true to yourself and your craft, don't knock T-rackS! Takes you quickly to where you need to go musically, and, if your on the loudness train this is it. Learn and grow!!
Hey guys I've been searching around for an explanation on the difference of linear vs logarithmic compression, and I can not find anything about it. Can someone please help me? An article of video link or anything, I'm very curious.
Love Clipper. Sounds better than ever in T5 but the cpu hit is killer, due to oversampling I guess, if so, can this be toggled on and off does anybody know..
I own T-racks 3 Deluxe bundle + White2A & Black Compressor, Is there any sound quality improvement between eg. Tracks3 vs Tracks5? To be honest I somehow always drift to Waves plugins, I somehow like their UI more than that of T-racks plugins.
Ive ditched UAD spark, Waves and Slate for IK Multimedia T-Racks. Dont know how accurate the plugins are comoared to the hardware it emulates, but I find t-racks to be allot more colourful and flavoursome than even UAD when doing a shootout between the same plugins. Almost in every instance the T-Racks won in a shootout between the comoetition (except for the pulteq eq which inorefer UAD version). Cheaper as well. Dont understand why it isnso underrated? Maybe because the UI looks so cartoonish
I hope Dave hasn't forgotten what real music sounds like after working endless hours on this kind of absolute shit. You can literally see the toll it's taken on him physically. Poor bastard.
id say the answer for that would be not everyones playing music out of decent monitors/headphones. for instance if your listening to a track on say your phone speaker or your computer speaker. and its not completely “maxed out”, you’ll hardly be able to hear it
this vid is a case study how not to edit a video, with all those zooms and shit. also shows exactly why this technique only works with 2 cameras. thanks for the education on video editing as well as music :D hahaha
Listen sweaty old man, those are NOT drums. a drumkit that sounds this way must be thrown out of the window, mine will... problems with bassfrequenties? Maybe the mics needs to be repositioned...
0:49 I don't think this is enough of a closeup. We can get closer!
Might want to pluck that nose hair
LEAVE DAVE ALONE!
Right?!
Yeah Dave, T-Racks are cool, but not close-up into your molecular structure cool.

it would be nice if you could fullscreen plugins, would be very helpful.... for me at least

That’s a hell of a step since the version 1. I’m not going to drop my UAD system but I’m going to check this out. Thank you very much M. Dave.

been using t-racks since ages, just got upgrade to Max for 70€, so many toys more to play with, really happy!
"And... this compressors a bad little boooy" haha... classic.
“It’s a professional move, don’t do this at home”.
I just did this this morning. Lol
Your voice and delivery are so great. Would love to hear you read books on tape!
"Don't do that at home kids" you left me laughing out load.
The song sounds like a demo on a casio keyboard.
so true
Its the hi hats...
hahaha dude. i was thinking the same thing lol
It's what music is these days
Sounds like a hobo with an 80s casio keyboard and a sonic flasher

Always a pleasure to see new stuff. It's even more exciting to hear new stuff. Great pick King PENSADO
I still use T racks especially the stealth limiter and saturator. Mixbox is killer too.

T-Racks really have turned up skill. I remember times that they were sounding like soap))

I've been digging the T tracks 5!

Thanks for the review man! Helped a lot. :)
damn it sounds amaizing the skill 100

Big fan of the T Raks stuff

Sir,
How do i indian instrument(dholok, tabla) eq mixing?
Please tell me
Yeah....that TRACKS BUS COMP.....probably my new goto....for Drum Bus....
i just did some testing..and T-racks 5 sounds A LOT better than T-Racks 4 on all plugins
Tnx from algeria mister
Is this review really authentic when it looks like he's just reading off of the yellow post-it note-looking thing on his desk?
What do you think about Slate's mixing plugins?
Perfect response and 100% true.
So basiclly he likes everything that only comes in the most expensive bundle only.......
Buy an irig49 and you get the deluxe set of plugins and a few VSTs
your music is sold, I mean so old
no mo close ups, was trying to eat
Savage lol
What's making Dave look soooo sad?
4:13 what mastering EQ is Dave talking about?
the sontec 432
Dave Luv Guys Man
I love my White 2A
Yeah , the 5 upgraded has turned it into one of the best LA-2A clones lovely
I love T-Rex too
"Everything as maximized as you can." Really?! What is wrong with the industry?!
id say the answer for that would be not everyones playing music out of decent monitors/headphones. for instance if your listening to a track on say your phone speaker or your computer speaker. and its not completely “maxed out”, you’ll hardly be able to hear it
Music sounds a bit like drunk in love:)
T-Racks tape 440 makes my CPU fry. 85% usage!
Yeah same here!
The tapes have bugs
It's because they have an internal sampling rate of 384K
You might think of it as a jalapeno in a food dish *camera zooms in* Yeah i said that
Camera crew needs to relax with all the constant angle swapping and zooming in the beginning 😂
a moment of silence for those who can not hear the difference..
The super close up is so unnecessary lol
this vid is a case study how not to edit a video, with all those zooms and shit. also shows exactly why this technique only works with 2 cameras. thanks for the education on video editing as well as music :D hahaha
cool stuff
ROCKIN🤗🎼🎶🎸💞
Nice to see fresh and be first)
Take my money
The mix needs more highs!!!
Okay Pro. You know one thing that I know is the ones who know the least talk the most.
Probably te voice will be in that frequency range, you only hear the drums and instruments, it makes sense
That sort of 'drum' sound baffles me. Why would anyone want have such a sound? Oh, sorry, it's fashionable I suppose.
I can't stand 1k.
Notch it down then - or try 2K or 900 Hz...
Listen sweaty old man, those are NOT drums. a drumkit that sounds this way must be thrown out of the window, mine will... problems with bassfrequenties? Maybe the mics needs to be repositioned...
The mics on what are very obviously drum machine samples? 😆
