Has anyone bought the software and what do you think of it? I'm going to buy the whole IK multimedia total studio 3 which includes T Racks.

It's a great tool. I prefer it over Ozone. The fact that you can put all your song in a project and compare the hot parts from each song rapidly is a thing I like. I always put a commercial song in the list and compare it to the songs I master.
It might not sound as good as a mastering firm with tons of outboard gear. But for many customer who don't want a pay large amount for the mastering. It gets the job done.
I just wish they add some tape simulator in there..

it's pretty cool, easy a/b ing like pc said. i think ozone is more transparent, and fine-tunable, if you want that. i just have opted for individual plug-insinstead. i use a waves maximizer, and a focusrite ssl emulation. if i'm lucky i get to use a linear phase eq, and some brand name emulations. if not just a regular one for problem things. i'm just a rec/mix guy, but often the people don't have a budget/understanding of what true mastering will do. but all of the above are ok, just gotta know how much punishment to use. i tend to be light on master eq, light- meduim on compression, very light limiting.

i actually like the more transparent units in the t-racks package. especially that red compressor, that thing is pretty cool. the pultec is ok, but i've used 3 differnt emulations, and it's not my fav, it'll do 'air' but crispy air. but that's coming from a partciular metal mix. that package works, and will make stuff louder, or even better, enhanced.

i'm just in a mix-guy-experiment faze wher i've been using individual plug-insas kind of a pseudo mastering chain. and some gentle mix bus processing.
