Bugfix update for the multitrack spectrum analyzer
HoRNet MultiFreqs 1.1.3: Update and Enhancements for Multitrack Spectrum Analysis
HoRNet Plugins is excited to announce the latest update to MultiFreqs, our advanced multitrack spectrum analyzer, which now brings even more precision and usability to your workflow. This new version, 1.1.3, introduces several important bug fixes and performance improvements, enhancing the overall user experience while continuing to provide cutting-edge tools for audio engineers and producers.
HoRNet MultiFreqs is an innovative plugin designed to offer a comprehensive view of the frequency spectrum across multiple tracks in your DAW. Whether you are mixing, mastering, or analyzing individual elements in a complex arrangement, MultiFreqs provides invaluable insights into the frequency content of your audio tracks. It supports up to 28 tracks simultaneously, allowing you to view and compare multiple audio sources with ease.
The plugin offers two visualization modes: Analog and Digital. The Analog mode mimics the classic hardware spectrum analyzers often found in high-end recording studios. This provides a nostalgic, visually appealing display that captures the essence of analog meters. On the other hand, the Digital mode is based on FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis, offering a highly accurate and detailed representation of your audio spectrum.
MultiFreqs is designed with efficiency in mind, featuring a completely resizable GUI that allows you to adjust the display to fit your specific needs. Whether you are working on a small laptop screen or a large professional display, MultiFreqs delivers crisp, smooth visuals thanks to hardware-accelerated drawing, ensuring that it performs optimally on all systems.
MultiFreqs provides an impressive array of features that enhance your ability to spot frequency collisions, manage track separation, and achieve a balanced mix. The ability to display up to 28 tracks simultaneously is particularly valuable when working on complex sessions with many layers of audio. By giving you the option to monitor multiple tracks at once, you can quickly identify areas of conflict and make adjustments to improve clarity and separation.
You can choose which tracks to display in the plugin, and it automatically reads the track names in VST3 and AAX hosts. However, if you prefer, you can change the names manually by clicking on the instance name. This feature ensures that your session is organized and that you can keep track of each element as it evolves.
The spectrum levels can be displayed using different integration times and ranges, offering a level of customization that ensures MultiFreqs can meet the demands of any mix or project. The peak and average display options allow you to quickly spot transient peaks or identify the overall energy of a track.
A particularly useful feature is the ability to display the mid (sum) and side (difference) parts of a stereo signal. This makes it easier to isolate and focus on specific frequencies that may be problematic, especially in a stereo mix where balance and phase coherence are crucial.
One of the standout features of MultiFreqs is its conflict mode, which helps you spot potential frequency collisions between tracks. In a busy mix, it’s easy for elements like the snare and kick drum or the kick and bass to overlap in frequency, creating muddiness and competing for sonic space. By activating the conflict button, you can isolate the frequencies that are common to all the enabled tracks, making it easier to pinpoint where frequency issues are occurring.
This feature is especially beneficial when working with dense mixes where multiple tracks are contributing to similar frequency ranges. By using the conflict mode, you can quickly identify overlapping frequencies and take corrective action, such as EQ adjustments or panning, to create more separation and clarity in your mix.
HoRNet MultiFreqs is designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. You can use the plugin to monitor your tracks as you record, mix, and master, ensuring that you have a clear view of the frequency content at every stage of your project. The plugin is optimized to work efficiently, even when analyzing many tracks at once.
Even when the plugin is not open, MultiFreqs is light on CPU usage, ensuring that it doesn’t bog down your system when you’re not actively using it. This makes it a valuable tool to keep open on every track in your session, allowing you to quickly reference the spectrum and make decisions without slowing down your workflow.
The new 1.1.3 version of MultiFreqs comes with a series of bug fixes and improvements that enhance its functionality and stability. These updates ensure that the plugin works flawlessly in all environments, reducing the likelihood of issues during the mixing and mastering process.
One of the notable fixes in this release addresses the issue where the interface size of MultiFreqs would not be saved with the session. This bug could cause frustration when reopening a project, as users would have to manually resize the plugin’s interface every time. Now, MultiFreqs remembers your preferred size, streamlining your workflow.
Another fix resolves an issue in conflict mode where it would fail to show any data if an empty track was set into the conflict group. This fix ensures that the conflict mode behaves as expected, even when working with tracks that do not contain audio.
Version 1.1.3 also brings significant improvements to the drawing performance of the plugin. The enhanced performance ensures smoother visuals and faster updates, even when displaying multiple tracks with complex frequency content.
With the increasing popularity of Apple’s new M1 and M2 processors, this update adds Apple Silicon support for the AAX format, ensuring that MultiFreqs works seamlessly on the latest Apple hardware.
HoRNet MultiFreqs is a versatile and essential tool for any audio professional looking to achieve a clearer, more defined mix. Whether you are a producer, mixing engineer, or mastering engineer, MultiFreqs provides the tools you need to spot frequency collisions, manage your tracks effectively, and create a balanced, polished sound.
With its wide range of features, customizable settings, and user-friendly interface, MultiFreqs empowers you to take full control of your frequency spectrum, leading to cleaner and more professional results. The new 1.1.3 update ensures that the plugin continues to deliver optimal performance, with new features and improvements that further enhance its value.
