HoRNet AutoGain 1.3.4 update

We have just released an important update for AutoGain, our original volume automation utility that is designed to save you time and improve your workflow when working with volume automation in audio production.

AutoGain is a unique gain automation plugin that drastically reduces the time needed to create precise volume automation curves. When you’re finishing a mix, it’s common to have tracks that need volume adjustments to ensure they sit perfectly in the mix. Typically, this would involve manually adjusting individual clip gain or writing volume automation curves from scratch. However, this process can often be lengthy and tedious, especially when you need to make multiple adjustments across various tracks.

That’s where HoRNet AutoGain comes to the rescue. This plugin provides a solution to all your volume automation challenges by automating the gain adjustments for you. The concept behind AutoGain is straightforward, yet incredibly powerful. You simply place the track you want to automate in the main input, and your volume reference in the second input. The reference can be a single track, a group of tracks, or even the entire mix—whatever serves as your desired volume target.

Once you’ve set everything up, all you need to do is press play, and HoRNet AutoGain will take over, making the necessary adjustments automatically. This makes the whole process far more efficient, freeing up your time to focus on other creative aspects of your project instead of manually tweaking volume levels. AutoGain listens to your reference and ensures that the track being automated stays perfectly aligned with the reference level throughout the entire playback.

One of the key features of AutoGain is its ability to adapt to different workflows. Depending on your needs, you can easily adjust several important parameters within the plugin. Speed, sensitivity, and gain range can be customized to suit your specific requirements, allowing for more control over how the plugin responds to changes in volume. For example, you can fine-tune how quickly the gain is adjusted in relation to the reference, or how sensitive the plugin should be to changes in volume. This flexibility ensures that the plugin can work across different types of tracks and projects.

Imagine using AutoGain on a vocal track, for instance. As vocals often have natural dynamic fluctuations, achieving a balanced level throughout the track can be challenging. But with AutoGain, you simply set the reference to another track or to the overall mix and let it automatically adjust the vocal track to match the desired level. This feature saves time and provides a more consistent result, making your workflow much smoother.

Once AutoGain has performed its adjustments, you can easily put the plugin into “write mode”. This mode allows you to automatically generate gain automation curves based on the plugin’s calculations. This automation can then be fine-tuned or edited manually if needed, but the bulk of the work has already been done for you. This helps you avoid spending hours manually creating automation points and allows you to focus more on the creative aspects of your mix.

Additionally, HoRNet AutoGain offers a variety of customization options for users who want to have more control over the automation process. The plugin can be used in different environments and contexts, making it a highly versatile tool. Whether you’re working on solo tracks, grouped tracks, or full mixes, AutoGain makes the entire volume automation process far more efficient, allowing you to work faster and achieve better results.

The latest update, version 1.3.4, is a maintenance release that includes several important fixes and improvements. One of the key fixes addresses an issue where the knobs were not working properly in certain host applications. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring that the plugin operates smoothly and efficiently in a wide range of environments. With this fix, users will experience improved performance and fewer disruptions when using AutoGain in their projects.

As always, this update is completely free for all current plugin owners. You can easily download the new version by logging into the user area of our website or by using HoRNet DoIn, our dedicated downloader and installer tool. This ensures that you always have the most up-to-date version of AutoGain, ready for use in your next project. The update also includes a few minor enhancements that contribute to a more stable and seamless experience when using the plugin.

One of the reasons HoRNet AutoGain stands out from other volume automation tools is its intuitive interface and ease of use. The plugin’s design focuses on simplicity and efficiency, ensuring that even beginners can start using it right away without feeling overwhelmed. The user-friendly interface provides easy access to all of the essential controls, and with the added flexibility to adjust parameters like speed and gain range, you can achieve precise control over your volume automation process.

For producers and engineers working on larger projects, AutoGain’s ability to handle multiple tracks at once is invaluable. Whether you’re working on a full mix or adjusting levels for specific groups of tracks, AutoGain ensures that the automation is applied consistently across your entire project. The ability to create customized reference points for the automation means that you can always ensure your tracks are perfectly balanced in relation to each other.

In conclusion, HoRNet AutoGain is an essential tool for anyone involved in audio production. By streamlining the volume automation process and providing an automated, intelligent solution to gain adjustment, it helps save you valuable time and provides consistent results that would otherwise require manual effort. Whether you’re working on a single track or a full mix, AutoGain makes it easy to stay in control of your levels and ensure your mix is perfectly balanced.
