Bugfix update for the vintage analog to digital converter emulation
We are excited to announce the release of HoRNet ADDA 1.0.4, a major update designed to improve stability, enhance user experience, and offer more flexibility to help you integrate this powerful plugin into your workflow. This new version introduces several stability fixes for compatibility across a variety of DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and brings more customization options for users. These improvements are intended to streamline your experience, ensuring smoother performance and greater versatility when using HoRNet ADDA in your audio projects.
HoRNet ADDA is a versatile and creative bitcrusher and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) emulation plugin that brings a vintage digital character to your tracks. It combines the warmth and imperfections of analog sound with the precise, often gritty nature of digital processing. Whether you’re working on music production, sound design, or mixing, HoRNet ADDA is designed to help you create unique textures and sonic effects. With its broad range of features such as bit depth reduction, resampling, analog-style saturation, and pre/de-emphasis filtering, HoRNet ADDA offers a powerful toolkit for shaping sound in innovative ways.
The main goal of HoRNet ADDA is to emulate the feel of older digital audio equipment, giving you the ability to simulate the imperfections and charm of vintage digital processing. It allows you to bring back the warmth, character, and often desirable distortion that early digital technologies introduced to music. Whether you’re looking to add a subtle grit or a more intense, saturated tone, this plugin offers a wide range of creative possibilities for sound manipulation.
Bit Depth Reduction: This feature allows you to reduce the bit depth of your audio, which can result in a distinct, crunchy digital sound reminiscent of old digital samplers and audio converters. It’s ideal for creating lo-fi effects, reducing clarity for a more raw and gritty tone.
Resampling: Resampling is another crucial tool that lets you simulate the way audio quality degrades when digital signals are resampled at lower sample rates. This adds another layer of vintage character to your tracks, simulating the audio degradation that can occur in older digital systems.
Analog-Style Saturation: One of the standout features of HoRNet ADDA is its ability to emulate analog-style saturation. This adds warmth and harmonics to your audio, which can soften the harshness of digital sounds, making it more musical and analog-like.
Pre/De-Emphasis Filtering: Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are two classic features of older digital audio systems. These filters shape the frequency response of the audio to mimic the behavior of analog equipment, giving you the option to create more complex or authentic digital sounds.
The 1.0.4 update brings several important improvements, fixes, and new features aimed at making the plugin more reliable, flexible, and user-friendly across various DAWs and setups. Let’s take a closer look at what has changed:
Stability Fixes for Cubase and Windows DAWs: One of the main improvements in this update is enhanced stability for Cubase and Windows DAWs. Users of these platforms will benefit from a more stable and reliable experience when using HoRNet ADDA, as several performance issues have been resolved. This ensures the plugin works smoothly in these environments, without unexpected crashes or issues.
Fixed Meters and UI Scaling Issues: In this version, we’ve resolved an issue where the meters weren’t displaying correctly under certain conditions. In addition, we’ve addressed UI scaling issues, ensuring the plugin now appears properly across various screen sizes and resolutions. These updates make the plugin more adaptable to different setups, providing a more consistent experience across different display configurations.
Resizable UI in Pro Tools: We’ve added the ability to resize the user interface (UI) in Pro Tools, one of the most popular DAWs in the industry. This gives users more control over their workspace, making it easier to integrate HoRNet ADDA into their workflow. Resizing the UI ensures better usability for those who prefer a customized, flexible interface while working in Pro Tools.
Manual Light and Dark Mode Selection: In response to user feedback, we’ve introduced a manual selection option for choosing between light and dark mode. This feature allows you to adjust the interface to suit your personal preferences and working environment, whether you prefer a brighter workspace or a more subdued, dark mode. It ensures that you can work comfortably for long hours without straining your eyes, making the plugin a more user-friendly tool.
VST 2.4 Support Removed: In this update, we’ve removed support for the VST 2.4 format. This decision was made to focus on more modern plugin formats that offer better performance, stability, and compatibility with the latest DAWs and plugin standards. By streamlining development and removing legacy support, HoRNet ADDA is better optimized for current digital audio production environments.
