VST3 plug-in · Standalone app · Windows
Rackaholic puts 25 modules — equalisers, compressors, saturators, delays, reverbs and pitch tools — into one rack you build yourself. Add what the track needs, put it in the order you want and keep the whole chain in one preset.
Windows, 64-bit
The rack
Every module is a complete processor with its own face, controls and presets. The rack around them handles the rest: levels in and out, presets for the whole chain, bypass and latency.
Tap a marker to see what it does.
Faders with level meters at both ends of the chain.
Save and recall the whole chain — every module and every setting — as one preset.
Compare the processed and the dry sound in one click, or drop oversampling across the rack while you track.
Power switch, its own preset library and the handle you drag it by to change the order.
Open the module browser and drop a new processor at the end of the chain.
Drag a module by its header, or drag its key in the signal-chain strip.
Two equalisers, three compressors — stack the same module as often as the mix needs.
UI size 90, 95, 100, 125 or 150 % — right on the rack's footer.
Modules
Dynamics, tone, space and pitch — each module with a face of its own and the controls it needs, nothing more.
Dynamics
14 compression styles
One compressor, fourteen characters — from transparent control to obvious colour.
Dynamics
Characterful compressor
An aggressive, musical compressor with eight ratios, a shaped detector and two distortion colours.
Dynamics
FET peak limiter
A fast FET-style peak limiter: drive it with the input, pick the ratio with a button.
Dynamics
Optical tube leveler
Two knobs and a needle: smooth optical levelling with a program-dependent release.
Dynamics
Stereo bus compressor
Console-style glue for mixes, drums and groups.
Dynamics
Formant-aware de-esser
Tames sibilance without dulling the voice.
Tone
Passive tube program EQ
Boost and cut the same low band for that tight, deep low end; add air on top.
Tone
Four-band console EQ
A channel-strip equaliser with the colour of a console.
Tone
Dynamic high-end lift
Opens up the top of a vocal or a mix and backs off by itself on harsh peaks.
Tone
Vocal distortion and tone
Two sections for grit and tone: pick a flavour, turn one big knob.
Tone
Console saturation
Warmth and density from three console characters, with tubes that glow as you drive them.
Tone
Compander and valve saturation
A compander into a valve desk, with a tape machine turning on the screen.
Space
Tape, BBD and digital echo
Thirty echo styles, from warm tape to clean digital, with dual, ping-pong and rhythm modes.
Space
Endless hall and chorused room
Two big, ready-made spaces: an epic long hall and a chorused room.
Space
Stereo chorus
Wide, smooth stereo chorus with four modes you can combine.
Space
Natural vocal doubles
Turns one vocal take into a natural, wide double.
Space
Tape thru-zero flanger
Tape-style flanging, from subtle movement to deep jet sweeps.
Pitch
Scale-locked pitch correction
Pitch correction locked to your key and scale, from natural to hard-tuned.
Pitch
Polyphonic transposer
Shifts whole parts — chords included — by semitones and cents.
Full-screen editors
The EQ and Quell sit in the rack like any other module and open into a full-screen editor with one click.
Tone
Place bands directly on the spectrum, set shape, slope and Q, and let any band react to the signal. Three phase modes, A/B and undo built in.
Tone
Draw where Quell may work with up to eight bands, set how deep it goes and how fast it reacts, then solo a band or hear only what it removes.
Workflow
Start with an empty rack and add only what you use. Reorder at any time by dragging — the sound follows the order on screen.
Every module has its own preset library in its header. The rack saves the whole chain as one preset.
Added the wrong module or lost a setting? Step back through rack edits and changes.
One key in the header runs every module that has its own oversampling choice — Compressor, Glowtec, Limiter and Clipper — at its lowest setting. Turn it off and each module gets its own setting back.
Hear the whole chain against the dry signal without touching a single module.
Use Rackaholic as a VST3 inside your DAW or open it as a standalone application.

FAQ
Rackaholic is a modular channel-strip plug-in. Instead of opening a separate plug-in for every job, you build a rack inside one plug-in: an EQ, a compressor, saturation, a delay, a reverb — whatever the track needs, in the order you choose. The whole chain can be saved and recalled as one preset.
25 modules, all included in one licence:
Rackaholic is a VST3 plug-in and a standalone application for Windows (64-bit). A macOS version is in development.
