British Channel

Solid State Channel Strip

The British Channel plugin captures the iconic sound and flexibility of the legendary large-format British mixing console, a staple in studios worldwide since the '80s. This channel strip meticulously recreates each gain stage and switch to deliver the console's precise and forward sound. By closely modeling the signal path, the plugin provides the warmth and character associated with countless hit records while staying true to the original hardware.

Several powerful enhancements make this plugin even more versatile. It includes selectable black/brown EQ modes for varied tone shaping, giving users access to two classic EQ circuit styles with a simple switch. Added I/O level controls enable dynamic range adjustment from subtle compression to heavy saturation, while a filter section—usable independently or in side-chain mode—further refines tone shaping. Perfect for any instrument or track, the British Channel is an ideal all-in-one solution for EQ and dynamics.

Features

• Classic British Console Sound: Faithful recreation of each gain stage and control.
• Selectable EQ Modes: Switch between "black" and "brown" EQ for different tones and responses.
• Dynamic Range Control: I/O level adjustments for varied compression and saturation.
• Integrated Filter Section: Usable independently or with side-chain for tailored tone shaping.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for all track types, from drums to guitars, bass, and vocals.

Comprexxor

The Swiss Army knife of compressors

The T-RackS Comprexxor brings pure joy to compression, capturing the intricate nuances of one of the most versatile analog compressors ever designed. With eight unique compression curves, selectable 2nd or 3rd harmonic saturation, and advanced sidechain filtering, Comprexxor offers endless possibilities for both classic emulation and fresh sound creation. Each ratio setting represents a distinct style, from gentle warmth without compression to aggressive, brick-wall limiting, making it a perfect tool for any mix.

Beyond compression, Comprexxor’s versatile design includes an opto-compression mode for classic, smooth dynamics, a “color” section for analog warmth, and a powerful sidechain filter to tailor which frequencies are affected. With IK Multimedia’s modeling expertise and a variety of presets, Comprexxor provides an all-in-one solution for mixing, mastering, and creative sound shaping in an intuitive plugin.

Features

• Eight Ratio Curves: Includes classic and modern settings, from subtle to extreme limiting.
• Opto-Compression Mode: Delivers the smooth dynamics of traditional optical compressors.
• Advanced Sidechain Filtering: Precise focus on frequencies with high-pass/band-pass options.
• Selectable Harmonic Saturation: Add “tube-like” or “tape-like” warmth with 2nd/3rd harmonic options.
• Flexible Sound Shaping: Ideal for mixing, mastering, distortion effects, and audio coloring.

Pusher

Addictive 4-Band Saturation

Pusher is a versatile 4-band saturation plugin, designed to ignite your mix with anything from subtle warmth to intense saturation. With five saturation algorithms that can be independently tailored for each band, Pusher allows you to sculpt your sound with dynamic precision. Enhanced with envelope followers, it offers unmatched control, making it ideal for adding anything from subtle texture to bold, controlled distortion.

Using the Band Splitting Sliders, you can easily separate the audio signal into four frequency bands, each with individual control over saturation, drive, tone, and output levels. From detailed band adjustments to global mix blending in the Output section, Pusher provides a seamless, intuitive interface to shape your sound exactly as you envision.

Features

• 5 Saturation Algorithms: Customize each band with distinct distortion options for a range of tonal effects.
• Independent Band Controls: Adjust drive, tone, and level per band, with bleed control for smooth blending.
• Intuitive Band Management: Power and solo switches for each band, offering precise sound shaping.
• Envelope Follower Modulation: Fine-tune attack and release times for dynamic envelope control.
• Output Section: Blend between dry and wet signals, with overall level control for balanced saturation effects.
