IK Multimedia T-RackS ONE | All-in-One Mixing and Mastering Processor
T-RackS ONE is an integrated processor designed for mixing and mastering, combining key processes—EQ, dynamics, harmonic coloration, stereo imaging, and limiting—into a single interface to help quickly shape tone, stabilize levels, and achieve commercial-grade polish. It’s ideal for the everyday workflows of producers, engineers, and creators.
Key Features
- Integrated mastering channel design: EQ, compression, saturation, stereo control, and limiter operated from a single place.
- Fast mastering workflow suitable for mix buses and master-oriented sound optimization.
- Tonal-shaping EQ that balances low-end weight with high-end air and detailed refinement.
- Musical dynamic processing and “glue” that stabilizes overall energy while preserving transients.
- Harmonic/saturation coloration to enhance presence and density while reducing harshness.
- Stereo width and mid/side balance controls to optimize spatial image and positioning.
- Built-in peak limiting and output control to help achieve stable, predictable final levels.
- Input/output level matching and bypass comparison for objective A/B evaluation.
- Preset library to accelerate getting started, with quick genre-specific adjustments to reach targets.
- Supports high sample rates and low-latency workflows, suitable for both recording and post-production.

Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
Compatible with most major 64-bit DAWs, usable as a bus or mastering insert effect. It’s recommended to place it at the end of a bus or before/after a limiter for A/B comparisons, and to use your DAW’s level/spectrum analysis tools to set output ceiling and target loudness. Supports parameter automation and preset management to maintain consistency and reproducibility across mixing, mastering, and batch export workflows.
