The T-Racks 3 Beyond Mastering suite was quick to install and the whole process only took a few minutes. I didn't have any compatibility issues at all and really had no other problems whatsoever. The interface of the software is really user friendly and it literally only took me a few minutes to get the hang of using it. However, there is a ton that you can do with this software and while I was quick to learn the basic functions I am still learning some of it as this is fairly new software. I haven't seen the manual for T-Racks 3 Beyond Mastering so I can't say how helpful it would be while learning this powerful software.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
So far while running T-Racks 3 Beyond Mastering I haven't had too much issues when running the software. I am currently running the software on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I've used it both as a standalone piece of software and in Pro Tools LE and HD. However, while the software runs pretty smoothly, there does seem to be some bugs that need to be fixed within the software. I had some issues when trying to process and bounce some files as it would crash and I would have to re-open it which is always a drag. Beyond this it has worked pretty well for me and I imagine that these problems will be fixed sometime in the near future as this software hasn't been out for all too long.
OVERALL OPINION
I've only been using T-Racks 3 Beyond Mastering for a few months but I've become quite attached to this powerful mastering suite in this time. The best part about this software beyond its great sound is that you can use the signal processing like EQs and compressors as standalone plug-ins in Pro Tools, meaning you can use them as individual plug-ins. To me this makes the worth of this software much more as you can now not only use it as a mastering suite but it is also a plug-in bundle that you can use for mixing. The signal processing is pretty great and everything has a really great sound to it. I also really like the presets as they give you a great starting point. The price is probably the best part as it is extremely cheap for a suite of this nature and while it is affordable for home studio owners, it is used by professionals and amateurs a like. If you are looking for a home mastering suite, T-Racks 3 Beyond Mastering is a the way to go.
