IK Multimedia has unveiled Sunset Sound Studio Reverb II – a standalone version of its popular T-RackS plugin emulating the sound of the famous Sunset Strip recording studio.
Located at 6650 Sunset Boulevard, Sunset Sound is one of Hollywood’s most iconic studios, with classic albums including Van Halen’s debut and the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St. recorded at the facility. The new plugin utilises impulse responses from Studios 1, 2 and 3 so you can use them in your own recordings.

The plugin harnesses IK’s Volumetric Response Modelling (VRM) technology to accurately capture the acoustic detail of the rooms, and features up to 27 different live room source positions per studio.
It also features both directional and omnidirectional modes, with dual-engine architecture so you can combine the sound of Live Rooms, Chambers, Iso Booths, EMT plates and AKG spring reverbs, each with their own EQ, stereo control and routing options.
There’s also a size control, so you can dynamically scale the virtual room between 0% and 200%, all while “preserving the original capture’s tonal fingerprint and spatial behaviour”.
Additionally, the plugin’s onboard capture library features 336 live room stereo impulse responses, with variable acoustic damping modelling available in studios 1 and 3, which emulate the real Sunset Sound’s adjustable absorption panels.
You can also choose between two preamp and signal path emulations modelled on Sunset Sound’s professional gear: the API/DeMedio Sunset Sound Custom and Class-A Discrete NEVE 8880.
The new standalone version of Sunset Sound Studio Reverb sports an updated 3D user interface, offering “immediate feedback while maintaining precise control”.
Sunset Sound Studio Reverb II is available now, priced at $/€149.99. Get it now at IK Multimedia.
