IK Multimedia T-RACKS BASS ONE | Low-End Shaping and Mix-Control Plugin
T-RACKS BASS ONE is an integrated processing tool designed for bass, kick, and low-frequency subgroups, focusing on low-end clarity, thickness, and stability. It combines filtering, harmonic/sub-bass enhancement, saturation, and dynamic control to help build a solid and controllable low end in mixes and masters, quickly resolving muddiness and phase issues.
Key Product Features
- All-in-one low-end processing: integrated filtering, harmonic/sub-bass enhancement, dynamics, and saturation modules.
- Adjustable crossover-based low/sub-bass reinforcement to improve bass and kick audibility on small speakers.
- Directional low-frequency compression and peak shaping to stabilize energy and prevent runaway transients.
- Saturation/drive circuits add thickness and presence while maintaining clarity.
- Fine-tune transients and impact to improve attack shape and tail control.
- Low-end focusing and mono management reduce phase risk and strengthen the center image.
- Intuitive metering and visual feedback for quick comparison and precise calibration.
- Input/output gain and gain-matching options (depending on version) for easy consistency comparisons.
- Preset management and A/B comparison for quickly building workflows and style references.

Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
It can be used in major 64-bit DAWs that support VST3/AU/AAX, such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, and others. We recommend inserting the plugin on bass or kick tracks, low-frequency subgroups, or buses: first clean the bands with high-/low-pass filtering, then use harmonic enhancement to restore presence, and finally use dynamics and saturation to stabilize the energy. You can also pair it with analysis from mixing/mastering AI assistants — first measure the track's low-frequency energy distribution, import the recommended crossover and gain settings into this plugin for fine-tuning, and save parameter snapshots as standardized processes for team collaboration.
