New T-RackS interface

The most obvious development in T-Racks 5 is the redesigned UI, or should we say all three TRackS 5 Uis. TRackS of old was looking quite long in the tooth for some time so it's great to see that not only have IK catapulted TRackS 5 into the 21st Century but also introduced new ways in which users can instinctively interact with TRackS suppose to fiddling with small menu items and buttons.

The standalone application of TRackS 5 is claimed to be a powerful workstation for mastering applications. The DAW plug-in instances have been totally redesigned to aid faster workflows and effortless mixing which is great news for users of previous users of TRackS.
