The T-RackS shell offers a modular system with up to 16-processor chains, series and parallel routing, easy A/B/C/D comparisons, up to 192 kHz / 32-bit floating point processing and more. More sound-shaping capabilities come from the advanced sidechain section, which can focus on specific frequencies thanks to the inclusion of two adjustable filters.īeing part of IK Multimedia’s stable of T-RackS plug-ins, Comprexxor offers two ways to work: either as a stand-alone plug-in, or inside the T-RackS 5 shell.

This can be precisely dialled in with a dedicated control. There are two settings, the colour section offering 2 nd order tube-like or 3 rd order tape-like harmonic distortion. You can double up these options too by alternating between the overarching ‘GB’ and ‘Optical’ modes.Ĭomprexxor also replicates the characteristic warmth found in analogue gear. These range from adding colour with no compression at 1:1 all the way to the MAX setting, which as you would expect gives dramatic and hard limiting. There are eight selectable compression curves each with their own automatic threshold setting. It provides versatile tools that can cover all kinds of sound shaping applications, from subtle to radical.

With clues from the included features and UI design, this is one formidable emulation of the coveted Empirical Labs Distressor. IK’s Comprexxor is based on one of the most flexible and creative analogue compressors ever made.

All they ask in exchange is for a couple of minutes of your time and responses to a short online survey about studio monitors. IK Multimedia are giving away their superb T-RackS Comprexxor until 20 September.
