IK Multimedia T-RackS Space Delay｜Classic Tape Echo and Spring Reverb Vintage Spatial Effect
IK Multimedia T-RackS Space Delay is inspired by classic tape echo, recreating the warm character of multi-head delay and spring reverb. Suitable for vocals, guitar, and synths, it delivers everything from subtle thickness and rhythmic repeats to self-oscillating flights, bringing a signature vintage spatial sound to arrangements and mixes.

Supported Hosts and Workflow Integration
Can be used as an insert or send effect in compatible DAWs, supporting host tempo sync, parameter automation, and presets saved with the project. Common workstations such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper typically load the corresponding formats. Parameters can be controlled via DAW automation lanes, controller mapping, or host-provided MIDI/macro functions for real-time control, and offline bouncing/export is supported.
