![]() ![]() ![]() It has now arrived at version 5, with four interesting new modules added, a stylish redesign of the stand-alone interface, improvements to the underlying audio engine, more comprehensive 'broadcast-ready' metering tools and options for album-style mastering with a montage view for sequencing tracks. ![]() Paul White reviewed the original version way back in SOS February 2000 issue, while more recent versions have been covered in the April 2009 and May 2013 issues, with consistently positive conclusions. IK Multimedia's T‑RackS is one of the more long-standing options for the task. Software-based DIY audio mastering is now an accepted necessity for most independent musicians. IK Multimedia take home-studio mastering to the MAX - and beyond! MY OPINION.Among the many new features in T‑RackS 5 is ONE, a simple 'one-stop' mastering processing tool. Just they are both "transparent hard-clippers" to me.as I noticed, Stealth Limiter Invisible Limiter have a lot of intersample distortions even with 16x oversampling and -0.x dB output (distortions can be seen on volume meters like Ozone's meters). Maybe difference in oversampling algorithms/filtering only, but limiting/compression is almost identical. It is only with extreme maximizing, but with not so much reduction there is very subtle. "Balanced" on Stealth and "Linear" and "Thru/Suppress Modes" on Invisible are different/unique on limiters. They are both 97-99% similar Stealth Limiter: (tight, harmonic 1, harmonic 2) with(out) oversampling, without infrasonic filter, +20 dB input, -0.1 dB output Invisible Limiter: Logarithmic, L/R, Oversampling (1x, 4x, 16x), Clip mode, +20 dB input, -0.1 dB output Even with phase inverting there is quiet difference. I compared "Stealth Limiter" with "AOM Factory Invisible Limiter". ![]()
