HoRNet MultiFreqs 1.1.0 update

We’ve released an important update to HoRNet MultiFreqs, our powerful multitrack spectrum analyzer featuring a unique conflict view. Designed for modern mixing environments, MultiFreqs allows you to analyze the frequency content of up to 28 individual tracks at once, giving you full control over your mix’s spectral balance.

MultiFreqs provides two distinct types of spectrum visualization: an “analog” mode and a “digital” mode. The analog view emulates the classic hardware spectrum analyzers used in professional studios, offering a familiar look with smooth, responsive motion. In contrast, the digital view presents a more precise, FFT-based spectrum analysis, delivering high-resolution frequency readings in real time. These two modes give you the flexibility to choose the visual feedback style that suits your workflow.

The plugin features a fully resizable GUI, which means it fits perfectly into any screen setup, whether you’re on a compact laptop or a multi-display studio rig. Thanks to hardware-accelerated rendering, visuals are crisp, fluid, and free from lag—even when displaying complex frequency content from many tracks.

MultiFreqs can simultaneously analyze up to 28 tracks, and you can selectively enable or disable tracks based on what you want to monitor. On VST3 and AAX hosts, the plugin automatically reads track names from your DAW, making it easy to identify what you’re looking at. For AU hosts, track names can now also be retrieved with version 1.1.0, and if needed, you can rename any instance directly from the plugin by clicking on its title—ensuring total clarity during large sessions.

The spectrum analyzer offers various integration times, so you can control how quickly the display responds to changes in the audio. You can also switch between different level ranges, depending on whether you’re focusing on subtle frequency details or broader balance issues. In addition to the peak display, you can enable an average spectrum view to better understand consistent frequency buildup across your tracks.

For more precise analysis of stereo content, MultiFreqs can display the “mid” (sum of L+R) and “side” (difference of L–R) components of a stereo signal. This lets you isolate problematic frequencies in the stereo field, helping you avoid phase issues and build a wider, cleaner mix.

One of MultiFreqs’ standout features is the “conflict” view. When enabled, it isolates and displays only the shared frequencies across all selected tracks. This is invaluable for spotting frequency collisions, such as those between a kick and bass, or snare and vocals. With a quick glance, you can locate overlapping energy that may be cluttering your mix and adjust your EQs accordingly. This targeted approach significantly improves clarity and separation across your arrangement.

Another major advantage is MultiFreqs’ CPU efficiency. When the GUI is closed, the plugin uses virtually no processing power, meaning you can insert it across multiple tracks without sacrificing performance. Keep it running in the background and simply open it when you need visual feedback—ideal for maintaining a fast and fluid workflow during mixing and mastering.

The latest release, version 1.1.0, is a feature update that adds functionality and improves overall stability. New in this version:

• Added ability to edit instance names from within each plugin window.

• Enabled support to read track names from AU hosts, enhancing compatibility across DAWs.

• Fixed a bug where the digital view color wouldn’t update correctly unless the window was closed and reopened.

• Fixed an issue where VST3 instances were being detected as mono-only in certain DAWs.

These improvements make MultiFreqs more intuitive and flexible, especially in large sessions where clarity and organization are essential.

This update is free for all current owners of the plugin and can be downloaded directly from the user area on the HoRNet website. Whether you’re working on complex multitrack mixes or need a fast way to check frequency relationships between elements, MultiFreqs offers a precise, reliable, and scalable solution.

With its mix of modern features, vintage-inspired visualizations, and a workflow that puts clarity and efficiency first, HoRNet MultiFreqs is a must-have tool for any producer or engineer aiming to achieve a balanced, professional sound.
