The Ultimate Mix and Mastering Workstation From the Creator of the First Desktop Mastering Software
T-RackS 6 is designed as an all-in-one solution for mixing and mastering, offering a seamless, efficient workflow for musicians, producers, and engineers. The system provides over 25 years of expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver high-quality results effortlessly. With 40 world-class effects included (expandable up to 60 and counting) that range from analog to digital, T-RackS 6 is positioned as a complete ecosystem that supports single effects, plug-ins, and a standalone mastering console. It is built with presets tailored for different genres, styles, and situations, enabling users to create professional-level mixes without the need for complex setups.
The new features in T-RackS 6 aim to enhance user control and streamline workflows. One of the key additions is the new Modules Manager, which allows users to install only the plug-ins they need, avoiding clutter in the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Another notable improvement is the inclusion of side-chain functionality in all plug-in modules, offering greater flexibility for modern production techniques. The redesigned graphical interface provides a sleek and optimized experience, and tools like the Master Bus Panel, In/Out Metering, and customizable meter windows allow for precise control of the project’s audio.
Mastering Console
The standalone Mastering Console in T-RackS 6 is designed specifically for mastering, allowing users to work on individual tracks or entire albums without the need to load a DAW. This console offers analog-quality sound in a digital format, providing a wide range of mastering tools and meters. It comes pre-loaded with 41 modules focused on mastering, offering both vintage analog-modeled and modern processing options. Other useful features include waveform editing, industry-standard export options, and ARC integration, making the Mastering Console a comprehensive tool for finalizing professional-quality tracks.
T-RackS Plug-in
In addition to its standalone capabilities, the T-RackS 6 Plug-in integrates seamlessly with DAWs, providing users the flexibility to mix and master within their preferred software environment. The redesign with a resize feature ensures a perfect integration with your DAW. And with the new Module Browser, users can load up to 16 plug-ins in series or parallel, offering extensive options for creating customized mixing and mastering chains. These modules are designed to handle a variety of production needs, from enhancing vocals to perfecting drum buses and guitars. The T-RackS Plug-in also supports presets from previous versions and comes with new preset packs created by top producers to boost the creative process.
Plug-in Collection
T-RackS 6 also introduces eight new modules to further expand its capabilities. These include tools like Master Match X for genre-based mastering, Channel Strip X for next-level EQ and dynamics, and BassONE for enhanced low-end control. The new modules are designed to offer flexibility and precision, whether users are looking to shape unique sounds with Lo-Fi Punch or achieve sophisticated delay effects with Delay Lab. With these additions, T-RackS 6 continues to expand its toolkit for modern music production, providing users with the tools to create high-quality, hit-worthy music effortlessly.

Not only is each one of these processors amazing on its own, but you can chain up to 16 of them within the T-RackS standalone application, which makes it remarkably easy to audition different effects chains, turn processors on and off, rearrange their order and perform parallel processing by just dragging and dropping them to the desired position. But this is just one of the possibilities. You can open the modules individually as plug-ins, for standard multi-track mixing duties, or use them as "plug-in suite" within your favorite DAW.
All T-RackS 6 plug-ins support 64-bit Audio Units, VST2, VST3, AAX formats and are resizable at will.
Innovative Tone, in a Daw or on Its Own
With T-RackS 6, you have the freedom to optimize your workflow as you please with 3 different working environments. You can use the modules as single plug-ins inside your DAW or under an integrated plug-in suite that can host up to 16 modules at a time and create complex signal chains.
You can, of course, run T-RackS as a standalone application and perform all processing from its resizable interface. Plus, if you own IK’s ARC System, the ARC processing will be seamlessly integrated into the signal chain when you open T-RackS in standalone mode.
Advanced Metering
In addition to the 22 processors, you will also get the T-RackS 6 professional metering suite, which provides you with immediate and complete visual feedback about the content of your audio material, so you can easily deliver professional results that will satisfy the strictest broadcast compatibility standards.
Metering includes everything from Peak, RMS, Dynamic Range meters, spectrograph, a real-time analyzer, phase correlation meters and much more. The metering section can be even launched as a separate floating window on a second screen, to let you keep an eye on levels while you focus on mixing and mastering.
Album Assembly
In T-RackS 5 v2 you now can sequence and assemble your full-length production directly within the interface and create a cohesive album sequence, with suitable track metadata, like pauses, fades, track ID’s, ISRC codes, CD-Text, etc. Then you can export single high-quality master audio files or the whole project in various formats such as WAV, AIF, standard DDP image for professional replication plants, or Wav Cue files.
It’s fast, it’s intuitive, and most importantly, it brings back the fun of sequencing an album that, despite being considered by many as a tedious activity, is indeed a true art form and one of the most emotional aspects of creating a full music experience.
Audiophile Grade Audio Engine
We made T-RackS 6 more sonically powerful than ever. Now projects are supported with audio up to 192 kHz / 32-bit floating point, so you can master for high-definition music platforms and distribution without ever leaving its single interface.
Plus, we added 4 dithering options for you to choose from, meaning you can optimize the dithering noise when reducing the bit-depth of your tracks to match the actual content of the song.
On top of that, T-RackS internal resampling engine has also been improved to deliver nothing less than best-in-class performance including DDM (Digital Delivery Mastering) on the way out from the final limiting stage, offering an additional layer of protection against inter-sample peaks and overshoots that could be generated by MP3, AAC encoding or similar compression and decompression processes.
Signature Presets From the Industry’s Top Engineers
Not only have we packed an incredible number of features in the all-new T-RackS 6, but we have also teamed up with some of the industry's most innovative engineers to provide you with kickin' presets you can use in your productions and that will help you adopt the same approach as the one that defined the sound of these incredibly gifted studio giants.
While we cannot guarantee you will be nominated for a Grammy® next year, or win one, we can assure you that the results you will achieve will unquestionably be worth one.
