Since all of the Total Workstation 2 instruments are “Powered by SampleTank” each instruments’ sound can also be loaded and used in SampleTank 2.5 XL’s interface, where all sounds become instantly accessible, in one convenient location.

And as if that weren’t enough, IK Multimedia has invited some of the best producers and players in the world to create an exclusive set of new combination patches that will further inspire your creativity. We call these the “Artist Signature Presets”, and we know you’ll love them.

The Total Studio 2 bundle contains a massive collection of superior-sounding guitar & bass amp and effects models with more gear than any other package, giving musicians and producers convenient access to the widest range of effects on the market: 150 ultra-realistic gear models, including 51 stompboxes, 26 Preamp and EQ models, 11 Power amps, 33 cabinets, 11 mics and 23 rack effects.

Plus, these products all come together inside AmpliTube X-GEAR to make the ultimate software/plug-in modular amp and FX system. Open up all of the “Powered by AmpliTube” products together in a single environment, so you can mix and match elements from all the included gear models. Build custom mega-rigs quickly and easily.

Choose from a dream collection of models based* on classic amplifiers, from a 1950’s Supro combo, ‘60s collectibles like a Marshall Super Lead 100 and ‘66 Fender Bassman, 70’s essentials like the Vox AC-30 and Marshall 1959 mkII, 90’s classics like the Marshall JCM 900 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, to modern high-gain classics like the Peavey 5150 and Randall Warhead, along with a dream collection of licensed Ampeg bass gear, and more.

Once you’ve built your dream rig and captured that golden sound, you can even control it in real-time with StompIO (IK’s revolutionary new USB floor controller/audio interface, sold separately), with the same feeling of using a high-end custom pedal board and amp rig.

No bundle would be truly complete without the tools of the engineers: reverb, EQ, and compression. With CSR (Classik Studio Reverb) and T-RackS, the Total Studio 2 bundle gives you the tools to do everything right in the box.

The lush reverb of CSR doesn’t clutter up your mix, and it won’t bring your computer’s CPU to its knees. All 4 included units (room, hall, plate, and inverse) also feature advanced or easy modes to allow total freedom to customize the sound.

T-RackS is the favorite weapon of many producers and engineers and has become a cult classic in a multitude of studios around the world. Ever wanted to get that ‘analog’ sound from your computer? This is how to do it. T-RackS features 5 analog-modeled mixing and mastering effects: an analog EQ, a vintage compressor, a multi-band limiter, a soft-clipper, and a mastering suite that combines all four effects into one unit.
