Bugfix update for our visual multi band compressor
HoRNet MBC 1.0.3 – Precision Multi-Band Compression Made Simple
We’re excited to announce the release of version 1.0.3 of HoRNet MBC, our automatic visual multi-band compressor. This update includes key improvements and bug fixes, reinforcing MBC’s position as a powerful tool for professional mixing and mastering. Whether you’re sculpting frequencies or managing dynamics, HoRNet MBC provides the clarity, flexibility, and visual feedback needed to refine your sound to perfection.
HoRNet MBC is a four-band multi-band compressor that gives you precise control over individual frequency ranges. Each of the four bands can be customized with its own crossover points, compression or expansion settings, and gain adjustments, giving you detailed command over every section of your audio spectrum. From tightening bass to softening harsh mids or adding presence to highs, MBC lets you tailor your dynamics across the frequency range with surgical accuracy.
Four Independent Bands: MBC splits your audio into four adjustable bands. Each band has independent threshold, ratio, attack, release, and make-up gain, allowing for specific treatment of lows, mids, and highs.
Customizable Crossovers: The plugin provides three flexible crossover points, giving you precise control over where frequency bands begin and end. This ensures that compression or expansion is applied exactly where it’s needed—no more guesswork.
Compression and Expansion Modes: Each band can be switched between compression and expansion, enabling creative dynamics control. Use compression to tame peaks, or switch to expansion to enhance transients and natural dynamics.
Stereo and M/S Modes: MBC supports both stereo and mid/side (M/S) processing. In M/S mode, you can independently process center and side content, allowing detailed spatial control and helping you enhance or narrow the stereo image without affecting core elements.
Visual Interface: MBC’s graphical display shows real-time activity for each band. Compression and expansion are clearly represented, helping you understand what’s happening at a glance. Whether you’re making subtle adjustments or dramatic changes, the visual feedback ensures accuracy and ease.
Auto Functions: Built-in automatic settings for attack, release, threshold, and ratio simplify the process. These intelligent auto features analyze the incoming signal and suggest optimized parameters—great for beginners or fast-paced sessions.
4x Oversampling: For those focused on audio fidelity, MBC includes up to 4x oversampling. This reduces digital artifacts, ensuring clean, transparent compression, especially important during mastering or when working with detailed mixes.
This update improves stability and enhances workflow:
Delta Mode (listen to removed signal only): Allows you to hear exactly what’s being compressed or expanded. Ideal for fine-tuning and precise control.
Fixed Attack and Release Bug: Attack and release values are now computed correctly, ensuring consistent dynamics behavior across all bands.
Accurate Solo Frequency Display: Now displays the correct frequency when a band is soloed, avoiding confusion when isolating bands.
Exclusive Solo Behavior: Soloing one band now automatically mutes others, allowing clearer monitoring without interference.
Resizable Interface: You can now resize the UI by dragging the bottom-right corner, making it adaptable for any screen size or workflow setup.
CPU Optimization: Reduced CPU load in FL Studio and other DAWs with low buffer sizes, leading to better performance across more systems.
HoRNet MBC is built to deliver professional-grade compression with ease of use. Whether you’re working on a detailed mastering chain or just polishing up a vocal track, MBC adapts to your needs. The dual dynamics engine—compress or expand—offers creative possibilities beyond standard tools. You can enhance impact, restore subtlety, or shape space without introducing harshness or pumping artifacts.
Use M/S processing to tighten the center while expanding the sides. Add brightness to only the high-end of your stereo field. Control muddiness in the midrange of the sides while preserving mono punch. With MBC, you have complete control.
HoRNet MBC supports all major plugin formats, including VST, VST3, Audio Units, and AAX, and runs on both macOS and Windows. The plugin is compatible with popular DAWs like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, and others.
A bypass button makes A/B testing quick and effective. You can instantly compare the processed and unprocessed signal, making it easier to fine-tune your adjustments. Plus, linkable input/output gain controls ensure consistent loudness throughout your signal chain, avoiding volume jumps during compression.
HoRNet MBC is ideal for:
Mix engineers needing precise multiband control
Mastering engineers aiming for dynamic transparency and tonal balance
Producers wanting to enhance groove, tighten low end, or polish high frequencies
Sound designers manipulating textures, space, and dynamics
Live engineers requiring intuitive and efficient multiband compression
Whether you’re working with vocals, drums, synths, or full mixes, MBC helps refine tone, manage dynamics, and enhance clarity across the spectrum.
With HoRNet MBC, you get a versatile, intuitive, and high-quality multi-band dynamics processor designed for today’s demanding audio workflows. From precise dynamic control to creative spatial shaping, MBC adapts to your needs while maintaining a clean, transparent signal path.
The 1.0.3 update brings crucial refinements, improved usability, and better performance—making this plugin even more powerful and user-friendly. If you’re ready to elevate your mix or master with focused dynamics control and deep frequency shaping, HoRNet MBC is ready for the job.
