The Track Rack is a great combination of Classic Vintage Gear, mixed with several proven newer boxes.
You get the best possible collection of the most popular tracking gear in the world!


Start with eight Vintage Class A Neve 1073 Microphone Pre-Amps & Equalizers. 1073's are perfect for delivering the punch, meat & clarity on everything from drums, guitars, percussion, electric bass, acoustic piano, and just about anything that you want to sound big and fat! Launched in 1970, these popular sounding Mic Pre Amps are considered by many to capture the very essence of the Neve sound. The Class A design of the module offers 3 bands of EQ with a fixed high frequency band, and two switchable bands with cut and boost mids & bottom. Simply the best!

With the Track Rack- You'll now have your choice of FIVE unique brands of stereo & mono compressor/limiters to smooth and sweeten your sound. Two UREI 1176LN (black face) limiters are the perfect compliment to drum and bass tracks, especially coming from a 1073 Mic Pre! A very versatile unit, the 1176LN can give you everything from a crushing, gritty "in your face" sound, to fattening and smoothing guitar and vocal tracks. The trusted Neve 33609C is fantastic as two mono compressor/limiters, or linked for true stereo compression for applications such as drum overheads or stereo electronic instruments. A pair of soon-to-be classic Empirical Labs EL-8 Distressors are also included, and much like the 1176LN, they are a very versatile unit giving you a wide range of dynamic control for any sound source. The Tube-Tech LCA-2B is another stereo compressor/limiter also perfect for stereo room mics, drum overheads, stereo guitars, acoustic piano- or just about any stereo source that would benefit from valve compression & limiting. Last but certainly not least is the highly sought after Teletronix LA-2A; a tube leveling amplifier loved for it's subtle and transparent sound. Best of the best for all your dynamics needs!

Also included, is the Focusrite ISA-430 Producers Pack. The 430 is a professional analogue audio processor with a multi-format digital output board. The ISA 430 is the first Focusrite product to include a range of different classic Focusrite modules in a single unit. A Mic/Line Pre with compressor, limiter, equalizer, gate, and de-s-er with output AES/EBU sampling rates up to 96K, it also includes a built-in direct box input- All of which can be used in combination with the analog and digital output. The ISA 430 is truly a 'Producer Pack', which combines the best of analogue and digital technologies. You have to hear this box, we simply can not say enough about it!

Last but not least is the API gear. All of our racks (including the Mic Pre Combo) include TEN API 512C Mic Pre Amps and TWO Classic API 550B four band equalizers. The API 512 are just great on drums, and every channel has a direct input (are you cutting direct guitars or synths?). The 2520 Op Amp in these Mic Pre Amplifiers are the heart of their sound. Did we say every Rack has TEN of this suckers?

All together- You have nineteen Mic/Line Pre-Amplifiers, ten compressor/limiters, and eleven equalizers. It doesn't get any better than this... it's perfect for your next Pro Tools HD Tracking session!

Were not done... top it all off, the Track Rack includes EIGHT condenser microphones. Included are classics such as the tube Neumann U149, classic KM84's, AKG C12VR's, and the newer large capsule AVANT CV12's. If you need more, you can add models such as the great sounding Neumann M147 (tube), AKG 414's, or the Royer R121 Ribbon Microphone.   Track Rack PodCast
