Just received the e-mail and there's a tidbit of info which caught my attention.

"Plus if you own the extremely popular White 2A and Black 76 dynamic processors, the new T-RackS CS includes updated models with new, ultra-accurate input/output-stage modeling, and will satisfy even the most demanding vintage-gear connoisseurs."

I wouldn't call myself a demanding vintage gear connoisseur but it seems like IK did listen and addressed what was my biggest concern, w/ the Black-76 in particular. 

Since I've been quite vocal about it, I feel that credit should be given where its due.

Kudos IK. Looking forward to the upgrade and that new channel strip.

Yes 
Kudos indeed!

I knew some people would notice that lil addition to the update! I'm glad you like it!

And the 4 new processors and de-esser. It's a great upgrade deal. I have been wanting a good stand-alone de-esser.


Just saw this on FB from JRR Shop:

"You can now get the FULL version of IK Multimedia T-RackS CS Grand for $169.15 when you buy our T-RackS CS Grand Standard Upgrade + CSR Bundle with the "GROUP" coupon code. 

If you already have T-RackS Deluxe, you can get the T-RackS CS Grand Deluxe Upgrade for $84.15 with the "GROUP" coupon code.

Finally, if you already have T-RackS Classic, Standard, Singles, or CSR, you can get the T-RackS CS Grand Standard Upgrade for $126.65 with the "GROUP" coupon code."

Another cool thing about the upgrade is that I can put the British Console strip on my screen and pretend that it's a LiteBrite!

They do sound a little different now, especially when driving them a little harder. My favorite of the new stuff has to be the British Channel though. Though the Quad Image and De-Esser are sweet.

Can't wait to put them to the test. 

IMHO, they sounded absolutely fine when you din't try to push them, but it was hard to get enough gain reduction going on. I trust that w/ the gain issue fixed, the Black-76 could probably be the best native emulation out there.
And that british channel strip was on my wish list - I just never thought you guys would include such a thing in T-RacKs, because it isn't really mastering-related.

Having the whole channel strip into one plug-in (unlike NI's which is split into 2 components EQ+Dynamics) really is awesome.


Like some it seems, I too find the GUI a bit intense on the colors for my personal taste, but, hey, as long as it sounds and works great...

Looks cool!

Can we use our jam points for the upgrade?
Does it matter whether we use CS or Deluxe? CS's menus are easier to read, even if they are still to small.
