IK Multimedia T-RackS Vintage Tube Compressor 670 (Download) Vintage Tube Comp/Limiter model 670

The processor consists of two separate and independent limiters that can be operated in the standard left and right or vertical and lateral components of a stereo mix via a decoding Mid/Side matrix. It features very fast attack times that make it suitable for use as a peak limiter while also having a wide enough range of release times for extreme limiting applications without pumping.

The plug-in is primarily used on a stereo bus for mixing and mastering, but it can also be applied to drum submixes and vocals to add presence, tube-emulated harmonic timbres, and cohere individual tracks and the overall mix together.

The user interface for the software offers a switch for setting Left/Right, Lat/Vertical, or Linked operation with adjustable DC Thresholds for the Left-Lat and Right-Vert components. Each side features a knob for controlling the time constant, the input gain, and the threshold. A simulated vintage VU meter provides visual feedback with selectable views of In, Out, and GR. Reset and On/Off switches allow you to compare the effects of the processor, and an output knob allows you to control the overall output level of the processor.

The plug-in is fully compatible with native 32- and 64-bit applications on both Mac OS X (Universal Binary) and Windows (XP/Vista/7/8) computers. It supports VST, RTAS, AAX, and Audio Units plug-in formats. It can also be used with the T-RackS CS standalone application (sold separately).
