If so, any speicific plug-ins you have had success with? I recently began messing around with T-Racks and wouldnt mind some good starting points. I asked a similar question in the Mixing board for that area as well. Thanks.

Apr 28, 2009 07:02 pm I guess I should ask, what exactly do you want to accomplish with it? T-Racks has a lot of stuff in it.
To be honest, most of what is in there are pluggins that are no better then you can find for free these days at many places such as KVR and the like. www.kvraudio.com
It is pretty over priced for what it really is. I get all those pluggins inclusive in Sonar 8 PE.

Jan 05, 2010 01:01 am i've messed around with t racks and can get the same results from just spending a little more time mixing the final product versus using t-racks. if you are looking to master something start by getting the best recording quality you can get then use some basic plug-ins such as a dynamic compressor, and equalizer. and dont spend more than about 2 to 3 hours doing this because your ears will just get fatigued. i'm just learning about this part of the process myself by trial and error and just going with what sounds good......keep at it and i wish you luck...

Jan 05, 2010 01:22 am I picked up TRacks Standard as part of the Amplitube 4 for 1 group buy and it's a pretty nice suite, not as full featured as Ozone but it does a nice job but I'm using it more in separate pieces on tracks.
I've found that if you get your mix sounding good without the "mastering chain" (Ozone/TRacks/Etc) alot the presets are a decent starting point, but you still need to adjust things to get it right for the song(s) you're working on.
I do like the simplicity of TRacks, not as many knobs/sliders etc, to fiddle with compared for example to Ozone.
