The T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series consists of 12 individual effects that work as individual plug-ins or can be added to the award-winning T-RackS 3 suites.
The Black 76 Limiting Amplifier is modeled after what is probably the most used, most known, most wanted, and most universally recognized compressor / limiter in the audio industry. There are probably no professionally created records without tracks using this unit. It's a true legend and a piece of history. The engineers that made this FET based compressor reached a level of cleverness and magic that only true visionary geniuses can achieve. While there are many revisions of this hardware, we modeled the LN version, revision E, because it's the one that has the most sonically recognized and wanted character thanks to its input transformer and class A output stage.
The White 2A Leveling Amplifier is based on a legendary vintage unit that is entirely tube-based. It's a totally different device in terms of construction where all the compression magic happens inside an optically coupled element formed by a fluorescent panel and some photocells: the famed T4A element. There is no electronic circuitry involved with the compression itself. It's just a tube amp with photo-resistors, lighted by a fluorescent panel driven by the output signal. At the time of this invention, there were not many ways of making an audio compressor: only variable-mu and optical. Optical was the simplest one, and if proper elements for both the light emitting panel and the photocells were matched, magic happened.
T-RackS 3 plug-ins work natively in VST, AU, or RTAS systems for convenient usage inside any popular DAW when mixing individual tracks. Each of the 10 modules included T-RacKS 3 Deluxe Mastering and Mixing Suite are available as T-RackS 3 Singles, and there are some Singles that are only available individually such as the White 2A and Black 76 compressor-limiters.
