"T-RackS 5's interface is a night-and-day improvement and the Metering section is a major step up too. Those alone give the whole thing the sheen and excitement factor of a whole new application."

MusicRadar and Computer Music have featured a detailed review of T-RackS 5. To say that they were impressed would be understating the verdict. Here are some of their key comments:

"IK have put their development time into modernising the GUl, expanding the metering options and extending the workflow all the way up to exporting your final album."

"The new look speaks for itself, and we can't imagine anyone not preferring it, but it's the functional benefits of the interface that are most welcome."

"The four new modules are all solid additions to the roster."

"[The One module] sounds fantastic and gives the newcomer to mastering an intuitive assisted processing solution."

"Dyna-Mu is an emulation of the Manley Variable MU compressor. IK describe it as 'indistinguishable from the hardware' and it does sound absolutely lovely, oozing warmth, musicality and working wonders on drum overheads and the master bus."

"T-RackS 5's interface is a night-and-day improvement and the Metering section is a major step up too. Those alone give the whole thing the sheen and excitement factor of a whole new application."

Their verdict is:

"This is a transformative update, making IK's professional effects suite feel more relevant and capable than ever."

Key Plusses:

+ Massively improved interface
+ Dyna-Mu is excellent
+ Album format mastering
+ Comprehensive metering
+ Still a fantastic collection of effects!
