For a lot of folks, Musikmesse 2009 means Summer's just around that corner, and IK Multimedia is taking that unbundling thing to heart with T-Racks 3 Singles. This new effects processor series takes the ten modules from T-Racks 3 Deluxe Mastering & Mixing Suite and separates them like they're dancing star Giles Marini's shoulders.

Singles will be easier to integrate with common DAWs when mixing individual tracks. You might even call it a . . . COMMON DAW MARRIAGE! Of course these swinging Singles shun monogamy -- at least to formats. They're available for operation as VST, AU or RTAS plugins.

But that's not all! Every T-Racks 3 Single can be integrated into the T-Racks 3 Standard Mastering and Mixing Suite once you need a little more than some quick, modular action in a seedy hotel room. Take any module and integrate it into one of the dozen slots in series / parallel change for advanced routing and parameter recall. And wait! Reversi*! Can you believe it?
