ABOUT OUR RACKS
Notice of Plugin Usage
Top Shelf racks are built using each DAW’s native plugins for maximum compatibility. Some racks include effects powered by the free Kilohearts Essentials bundle. This pack is completely free and can be downloaded from the Kilohearts website—just install the bundle and the racks will load with all processing active. No paid plugins are required; simply ensure you have the latest version of your DAW and the free Kilohearts tools installed for full compatibility.
Software Compatibility
All Top Shelf racks are built for the latest versions of Ableton Live and FL Studio, using each DAW’s native plugins to ensure smooth, reliable performance. A few racks may also use the free Kilohearts Essentials bundle, which is easily downloadable and works in both DAWs. No paid third-party plugins are required—just the most current version of your DAW and the free tools listed.
What are racks?
Top Shelf Racks are creative and mixing tools designed to streamline sound shaping and workflow. Each rack bundles effects, processing chains, and custom controls into a single drag-and-drop device you can load into any session instantly. They give you polished, ready-to-use processing without having to build complex chains from scratch.
Do I need to install racks?
Once your DAW and any required free plugins (like Kilohearts Essentials) are installed and up to date, getting started is easy—just drag and drop the rack file into an empty effect slot inside your DAW. The rack will load instantly with all controls and processing ready to use. No additional setup required.
