IK updates T-RackS CS to v4.2 - includes AAX support and new Precision Compressor / Limiter

IK Multimedia has announced that the new Precision Compressor/Limiter, modeled after a classic British dynamic processor is now available in the T-RackS Custom Shop.

The Precision Compressor/Limiter is based on a classic 1970s solid-state compressor/limiter unit that's been the "must-have" compressor/limiter in studios worldwide for over 40 years. The Precision model imparts a warm "fat and thick" sonic character, but isn't overly aggressive, even at higher compression ratios. The result is a transparent yet musical sound that doesn't lose focus or detail, and is suited for virtually any mastering, post-production or broadcast application.

This new model is available à-la-carte in the new version of T-RackS (version 4.2) through its built-in online Custom Shop — a free download from the IK web site.

Changes in version 4.2:

• New Precision Compressor / Limiter module.
• Support for 32 and 64-bit AAX plug-in format.
• Improved modules category menus.
• General reliability improvements.

T-RackS Custom Shop is a shopping platform that allows you to try and buy individual processors any time from the comfort of their own studio. All T-RackS processors can be demoed for a period of 2 days, and purchased one at a time right from the Custom Shop.

The new Precision Compressor/Limiter is available for purchase now in the T-RackS Custom Shop, using Custom Shop gear credits. Gear Credit Packs start at $19.99/€15.99* (for 20 credits) and go up incrementally to $499.99/€399.99* (for 1,000 credits).

To access the new processors, existing T-RackS users should download the free upgrade to T-RackS from their user area before launching the Custom Shop.
