IK Multimedia T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb (Download) Reverb Effect Plugin Software

Experience one of the world’s most iconic studios in your DAW Few studios in the world have contributed as much to the sonic imprint of music culture as Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound Studio.

T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb lets you step inside Sunset Sound studios, capturing the sonic mojo of each one of these echo chambers, live rooms, booths, plates and springs, as well as the unique vibe of their custom consoles and classic mic collection.

It’s the closest thing to tracking your session in this hall-of-fame studio itself.

A complete studio complex in a single plug-in T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb gives you a total of 12 spaces, with 3 echo chambers, 3 live rooms and 3 vocal booths, plus vintage EMT and Echoplate plate reverbs and an AKG spring reverb still in use at the facility today, giving you a full suite of reverb effects in a single plug-in.

All the rooms and equipment have been carefully maintained since their construction in the early 60s, so their sonic imprint has remained exactly the same as they were when Sunset’s iconic sessions were tracked.

Timeless gear, pristinely preserved In addition to the rooms and chambers, T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb also offers two of Sunset’s vintage plate reverbs, an EMT 140 and Echoplate, as well as their AKG BX-20E spring reverb. IK chose the best-sounding of Sunset’s units, adding that classic, vintage hardware reverb sound and giving you a comprehensive set of reverb types in a single plug-in.

The sound of the hits, exactly as recorded IK worked hand-in-hand with Sunset’s engineers, poring over decades of session sheets to recreate the mic positions and placement that ensure all of the rooms and spaces sound just as they did on countless hit records. We recreated the exact placement and options used in these sessions, making it faster and easier to dial in the sounds you want.

The deepest level of authenticity To capture both the unique acoustics of each studio, IK used its unique Volumetric Response Modeling (VRM™), an advanced hybrid convolution technique, to deliver the highest-quality reverb effects possible, and ensure the results of T-RackS’s processing were indistinguishable from recordings made in the real rooms.

Iconic consoles for iconic spaces Beyond using Sunset’s extensive vintage mic locker, IK used award-winning physical modeling to recreate each studio’s unique consoles (an API-based Sunset Sound custom, a Class-A-Discrete NEVE 8880, an API/DeMedio Sunset Sound Custom) preamplifier and signal path, to add the perfect harmonic content and sonic signature. This makes the reverbs sound completely authentic and will make you feel you’re behind the boards running a session yourself.

Convenient tone shaping T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb offers all the necessary controls to shape your spaces including reverb time, width and frequency controls, microphone controls (left, right, or both) and accurate leveling/monitor of the mixed signals.

The power of T-RackS Like all T-RackS plug-ins, T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb offers you two ways to work: as a single plug-in, or inside the T-RackS 5 shell.

The T-RackS shell offers a unique, modular system with up to 16-processor chains, series & parallel routing, easy A/B/C/D comparison, up to 192 kHz / 32-bit floating-point processing and much more, in both a plug-in and stand-alone mastering application.
