They used the studio’s own mics to sample the rooms and gear. IK collaborated with studio owner Paul Camarata and esteemed producer/engineer Ross Hogarth, as well as some engineers from the studio itself, to create the plug-in. You also get two plate reverbs and a spring reverb. The plug-in lets you choose between the sampled ambience of the live rooms, iso booths and echo chambers for each of the three studios at Sunset Sound. The list of major acts who have recorded at the studio includes the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen (one of the studios is often referred to as “the Van Halen room”), Prince, Aretha Franklin, Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others. The plug-in lets you dial in modeled ambience and acoustic characteristics from a variety of rooms and processors at the iconic Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. But that changed at NAMM 2020 with the release of Sunset Sound Studio Reverb ($149).


Although IK has expanded the collection regularly, it has been quite a while since the company released a new T-Racks reverb. IK Multimedia’s T-Racks 5 line of plug-ins is quite extensive, comprising emulations of classic signal processors and the company’s original designs.
