HoRNet DynEq 1.1.1 update

We’re excited to announce the release of HoRNet DynEq version 1.1.1, the latest update to our dynamic equalizer plugin that brings important improvements, enhanced stability, and an even more refined user experience.

HoRNet DynEq is a dynamic equalizer plugin, specifically designed to provide precise and responsive equalization that adapts in real-time to the intensity of the input signal. Unlike static EQs, which apply a fixed boost or cut regardless of what’s happening in your mix, DynEq listens to the dynamics of the audio and adjusts the EQ curve accordingly. This allows you to target problematic resonances, enhance tonal balance, and control frequencies more musically and effectively.

At the heart of HoRNet DynEq is a single parametric EQ band, equipped with all the standard controls you’d expect: frequency, gain, and Q. With these parameters, you can pinpoint specific frequencies to attenuate harsh peaks, or gently boost areas that need more presence or body. Whether you’re dealing with vocal harshness, boxy drums, or uneven bass, DynEq gives you the flexibility to address these issues dynamically—without over-processing the rest of the sound.

The release of version 1.1.1 brings a number of significant updates and bug fixes, improving both the reliability and functionality of the plugin across multiple platforms and DAWs.

Here’s what’s new in HoRNet DynEq 1.1.1:

Fixed Plugin Loading on Apple Silicon: We’ve resolved a critical issue where the plugin was not loading correctly on Apple Silicon-based systems. This fix ensures that users running M1, M2, and newer Apple chips can now use DynEq natively and without workarounds. This improvement enhances performance and compatibility across all modern Mac systems.

Auto Speed Functionality Fix: The Auto Speed toggle now behaves as expected. We’ve corrected an issue where the toggle would not properly enable or disable the auto speed feature. With this fix, the plugin now correctly adjusts its dynamic response time when the auto speed function is used, making your workflow more intuitive and efficient.

Cakewalk DAW Crash Fix: Based on valuable user feedback, we’ve identified and addressed a crash that was occurring specifically in Cakewalk. With this update, you can use HoRNet DynEq confidently in Cakewalk without unexpected interruptions or instability, ensuring a smoother and more reliable mixing experience.

Improved Mono Compatibility: We’ve also worked on refining the plugin’s mono signal handling. Whether you’re working in a mono session or inserting DynEq on a mono track within a stereo project, the plugin now delivers consistent behavior and stable performance, without phasing issues or imbalanced output. This makes DynEq more dependable across a wider range of setups and use cases.

These fixes and enhancements continue our commitment to building high-quality, efficient, and reliable tools for music producers, audio engineers, and content creators of all levels.

As with all of our plugin updates, version 1.1.1 is available free of charge for existing owners of HoRNet DynEq. To download the latest version, simply use our dedicated HoRNet DoIn downloader/installer, or head directly to the user area on our website: https://www.hornetplugins.com. From there, you’ll always have access to the most recent releases, updates, and enhancements.

We strongly recommend that all users update to this version to take advantage of the improved stability and new features. Whether you’re using DynEq to gently shape vocals, control bass frequencies dynamically, or reduce harshness in overheads, version 1.1.1 will offer a more responsive, reliable, and streamlined experience.

For those new to dynamic EQ processing, HoRNet DynEq provides an excellent introduction. It’s a lightweight yet powerful tool that allows you to dig into your mix and fix issues as they happen—automatically. By setting a threshold and a dynamic range, the plugin only activates its EQ curve when needed, which results in more transparent, natural-sounding processing compared to traditional static EQ techniques.

Whether you’re producing electronic music, recording live instruments, editing podcasts, or mixing sound for film, HoRNet DynEq delivers precise dynamic control with minimal CPU usage and a clear, user-friendly interface. And with this latest update, it’s more reliable than ever.

We’re always listening to feedback from our users, and many of the fixes in version 1.1.1 came directly from community reports. We’re grateful for your input and proud to provide updates that reflect your real-world needs and challenges.
