"Don't Waste Your Money"

Feature:
I have to go 7 on features b/c it has a lot of them. There are numerous presets that serve as a good starting point.

Quality:
Nothing to write home about.

Value:
To me, the negatives don't outweigh the positives. Maybe if it sold for $49.00 instead of $300.00, I would feel differently.

Desirability:
I wish there was a category like, "I'm Sorry I Bought It." It does look good. The little glowing vacuum tubes look cool. I'm trying to find something nice to say........

Sound:
This was the first mastering software I ever purchased/used. It will have an affect on the input signal, but it takes a LOT of tweaking.

Support:
It has a VERY cumbersome registration protocol. If your DAW isn't connected to the internet (and it really shouldn't be), you're down to faxing or calling Italy for a registration key. And if you happen to change any major system components, like upgrading your CPU, this genious piece of software makes you re-register.

Overall:
Buy Ozone Izotope or Samplitude. For the same money (or less) they are a better deal.

"T-Racks is crap"

Feature:
Good set of features, a compressor, an eq, a limiter, missing a QUALITY DITHER.

Quality:
A very crappy program, you can't get quality mastering out of a 300 dollar piece of software. (Not even close to ok quality)

Value:
Not worth the buy.

Desirability:
Don't want it at all, again, the sound is crap.

Sound:
Lets start with the basics, the sound has no connection to real analogue gear, it doesn't even remind me of it. I get this really fake sound out of it, just not a product that i would want in my songs. People who have used t-racks and claim results, haven't heard real results, the sound that comes out of it is just horrible.

Support:
Never needed it. Dumped it the first day.
