Our new classic VCA bus compressor with modern features
We’re excited to present the HoRNet H4K Bus Compressor, a brand-new plugin crafted to deliver the unmistakable “big console sound” that shaped some of the most iconic records of the 1980s and 1990s. With the HoRNet H4K, you’ll get a faithful emulation of legendary hardware, enhanced with modern features tailored for today’s producers and engineers.
At the core of the HoRNet H4K lies a faithful analog emulation of the classic bus compressor found in the master sections of high-end mixing consoles. These analog units were responsible for the tight, glued-together sound that defined radio hits across decades. Now, that iconic tone is available in a digital format—giving your mixes added cohesion, depth, and clarity.
The H4K makes your workflow smoother with built-in smart automation. Key parameters like attack, release, input gain, and threshold are managed automatically, delivering professional-quality compression with minimal manual tweaking. This means you can spend less time adjusting knobs and more time focusing on your creative vision.
One of the most effective ways to enhance punch and presence in your mix is through parallel compression—and the HoRNet H4K makes this technique incredibly easy to use. You can seamlessly blend the compressed and uncompressed signal for maximum control, allowing you to tailor the dynamics of your track with precision.
With automatic oversampling from 2x to 8x, the H4K ensures that your audio remains clean and artifact-free. This feature reduces aliasing, a common digital distortion, and delivers pristine sound quality without requiring extra manual configuration. It’s an essential feature for modern production, built into a classic-style tool.
The plugin features a fully resizable interface, allowing you to scale it according to your screen size or workflow needs. Choose between light or dark themes to match your DAW environment or personal taste. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more traditional aesthetic, the H4K adapts to your setup.
Beyond its visual flexibility, the intuitive layout of the plugin makes it easy to navigate all its parameters. The H4K keeps your focus where it matters—on the music—by reducing distractions and enhancing usability.
One standout function of the HoRNet H4K Bus Compressor is its ability to bypass compression while leaving the analog amplifier emulation active. This means you can use the plugin solely as an analog saturation tool—a valuable feature for adding warmth, color, and harmonic richness to any track without altering dynamics.
This option provides creative flexibility, allowing producers to shape the sonic character of their audio with analog-style mojo, even when compression isn’t needed.
We’ve ensured that the HoRNet H4K Bus Compressor is ready for virtually any professional audio environment. It supports macOS (10.13 and later) and Windows (10 and later), and is compatible with VST3, AAX, and Audio Unit plugin formats. Whether you’re working in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or FL Studio, the H4K fits seamlessly into your workflow.
Installation is simple, and performance is optimized for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, ensuring a smooth experience no matter your platform.
The HoRNet H4K Bus Compressor is now available at just €21.99, making it one of the most affordable yet powerful tools in its class. Despite its accessible price, the H4K delivers high-end sound and a suite of pro-grade features you’d typically find in much more expensive plugins.
