(http://web.archive.org/web/20021214104105/http://t-racks.com/Picts/product/box_RTAS.jpg)

this is in my opinion an important VST to have!!!! and it should be found + posted here on this site for all to benefit from.. do any of you have the CD installer for T-racks from 2003?

looks like it was planned for release in january of 2003 but wasnt actually released until april of 2003 http://web.archive.org/web/20030818040706/http://www.t-racks.com/Main.html?TRNews

they had a demo download page aswell at the time

I have faith I think this will turn up if we keep focus on it
It was a very popular software package one that was very well known

it was ilok protected so unless there was a vintage crack we need the resettable demo but even back then
they only send out demos to registered users so. im pretty certain this is lost forever.
even if you had a retail box, there still was the registration card with code thingy.

HTDM RTAS VST

i since I posted came across the VST on oldschooldaw myself, we had RTAS here once, looking for this

thanks for posting, there was a keygen attached to the VST which was an empty zip, thats why i didnt bother to try the VST on itself. as it appeared to be a demo without keygen.

if anyone still has the RTAS before it disappeared with adrive, please share thank you and happy new year!

Maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see the standalone version here anymore either.

So, in case I'm right, here it is. Fully functional. Maybe someone will add it to downloads…?

so let me update my statement to: "they should be here".

there is only one way to get the OS9 version to work: the demo versions for VST OS9 are on the OSX PPC CD, and DH found out that you activate them work using the amplitube OSX KG.

they are nothing special, but i think they look really cute as plug-ins! :)

DSP code is not a matter of opinion.

i always thought it was clever marketing to start out with an unusable standalone application to make it look more interesting. :P

WTF ?? I said STANDALONE… as in self-running app. It was intended as a simple mastering tool. It opens a file and provides the basic processes to optimize and polish up the mix.
The fact that everybody decided they had to have it in VST/RTAS/TDM etc. form seems to show that no matter what it does, it's not enough.
How can anyone be expected to properly master a mix without the simultaneous use of at least a dozen comps, EQ's, imagers and other spit-polishers?

I mean, that would suggest that just maybe the mix wasn't all that great to begin with…

you said EITHER, and the plug-ins is what someones question and the board and the thread was about.

i think i might have pulled the keygen after it created false alarm in antivirus - or can someone find it back? there must be another t-racks thread somewhere where everything was already solved.

Ohforcryinoutloudman… 
After looking around for things T-Racks I noticed that even the standalone was missing too so I thought maybe it should be replaced - and that's exactly what I said.

Just for you, let me rephrase: "Maybe I'm just blind, but neither do I see the standalone version here as well."

Is English your 3rd language? Or is it just that no good deed goes unpunished by 110? 'Scuse me for trying to be helpful.

Go take a Xanax man.

I have the stand alone version with the 'registration card code thingy' from back in the day and got the RTAS version from this site at some point.

The T-Racks for os9 used in Tcworks spark XL 2.8, work perfectly well for me, they process at 24 bit internally and 24-bit recordings also improve them, the compressor does its job well in sound design tasks or final mastring, similar sound or very similar to a bombfactory 1176, the limiter is warmer than the ones that each version of pro tools brings with its digiracks.

the equalizer is not impressive, but it can brighten up a dull sound, the low frequencies work like a logic audio equalizer, the mids are not good and I never play them, treble is very good for hi-hat, details of reverb.

work better than free plugins and shareware, some crap accumulated in warez collections just don't react.

This version of T-racks has arguably one of the best compressors for drum loops, and the EQ might not be as good as Digital Performer's 4-band EQ, but it can give McDSP may not be as good as expected.

I'm using them a lot now for 24-bit audio processing.

in the recordings they are very light with the CPU.

I also use them in ableton live 1.0 which is only for audio and I use it as an alternative to what was at the time Acid Pro 2, it really is great for making arrangements and audio montages, I like them because of how well they work and how light they are They are.

1) I am assuming you are using the T-racks VST versions as plugins in spark ?

2) If so, are they registered or cracked versions ?

TRacks VST was also offered by cyberish last december.

It is TRacks RTAS and HDTM what is missing.

GaryN posted the Standalone IIRC.

I don't know if you shared before or not, but version 2.5.1 is standalone, it works as a full screen standalone program.

All the files are in this massive collection of software for mac os9.
