Bugfix update e for the single band dynamic EQ
We’re excited to announce that HoRNet DynEq has been updated to version 1.1.0, introducing new features, performance improvements, and expanded compatibility for this powerful dynamic equalizer plugin. Designed to apply a precise equalization curve in direct response to the input signal’s intensity, DynEq provides producers, engineers, and musicians with a transparent and intuitive tool for sculpting sound dynamically, with minimal effort and maximum musicality.
At its core, DynEq is built around a single parametric EQ band, equipped with standard controls for frequency, gain, and Q. These essential parameters allow you to precisely target specific resonances, boost lacking frequencies, or tame harsh elements within a mix. Despite its minimal interface, DynEq delivers professional-grade control that makes it easy to enhance or correct audio with surgical precision.
The plugin’s design intentionally emphasizes simplicity and efficiency. While some dynamic equalizers offer multiple bands in a single instance, DynEq follows a different philosophy: if you need more bands, just add another instance. This modular approach keeps the interface clean and focused, allowing users to build only what they need—no clutter, no confusion. You’re free to stack bands creatively while retaining full focus on the sound shaping process, rather than wrestling with a crowded interface.
What sets DynEq apart is its integration of HoRNet’s signature automatic features into a streamlined dynamic EQ workflow. The plugin includes both auto-speed and auto-threshold functionalities, designed to make your workflow faster and more responsive without compromising on control or quality.
The auto-speed toggle automatically syncs the attack and release times of the internal envelope detector to the host tempo, ensuring musically relevant dynamics across different BPMs. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment and keeps your processing tight, rhythmic, and in sync with your session.
The auto-threshold function works by analyzing the input signal and the targeted frequency in real-time, dynamically adjusting the threshold to respond to actual content variations. This ensures the processing remains reactive and musical, even as the signal changes over time. It’s particularly effective when working with vocals, percussive instruments, or complex acoustic recordings, where static settings often fall short.
When the sidechain intensity exceeds the defined processing threshold, DynEq calculates the difference between this level and the sidechain, then uses that value to scale the gain in the EQ section. The result is a smooth, transparent, and adaptive EQ movement that responds dynamically to your material without sounding artificial or over-processed.
The latest 1.1.0 update brings crucial improvements and expanded compatibility, making DynEq even more reliable and future-proof for users across platforms.
Apple Silicon Compatibility: DynEq is now fully compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs. This ensures optimal performance on the latest Apple hardware, delivering faster processing and reduced CPU load.
Fixed Crash in Cakewalk: A bug that previously caused crashes in Cakewalk has been identified and resolved, resulting in a stable, smooth experience across all supported DAWs.
Removed 32-Bit Support: To streamline development and focus on modern systems, support for 32-bit platforms has been discontinued. This change allows us to dedicate resources to enhancing stability and functionality on current 64-bit architectures.
These changes not only enhance reliability but also ensure that DynEq is optimized for both current and future production environments.
We believe in providing long-term value for our users, which is why this update is completely free for existing DynEq owners. If you already own the plugin, updating is simple—just log into the user area on the HoRNet website or use the HoRNet DoIn application to download version 1.1.0 instantly.
This commitment to free updates is part of our philosophy to ensure that our plugins remain cutting-edge, stable, and user-focused, even years after their initial release. We understand how fast the world of audio production moves, and we’re here to support your creativity with tools that grow alongside your workflow.
While many dynamic equalizers aim for complexity and feature overload, DynEq stays true to a minimalist philosophy—delivering only what you need, when you need it. This approach allows you to work faster, reduce distractions, and make more intuitive audio decisions in both creative and corrective scenarios.
Its musical response, combined with intelligent automation and a clear interface, makes it ideal for everything from subtle vocal de-essing, to shaping the transients of drums, to correcting tonal imbalances in acoustic recordings. It also works flawlessly in layered sound design, where dynamic tone shaping is essential for blending multiple elements into a coherent whole.
Whether you’re a mixing engineer searching for more transparent control, a producer crafting clean arrangements, or a sound designer shaping expressive movement, DynEq 1.1.0 is now more powerful, more stable, and more adaptable than ever.
With version 1.1.0, HoRNet DynEq evolves into an even more effective tool for dynamic tonal shaping, combining streamlined design with smart automation and reliable performance. If you haven’t updated yet, now is the time to experience the benefits of Apple Silicon support, enhanced DAW stability, and refined signal processing.
