We are excited to announce the release of HoRNet SAMP 1.2.11, a crucial update designed to enhance the stability and performance of our Spatial Audio Master Processor. This new version focuses on addressing a significant issue related to audio stuttering in Cubase and Nuendo, providing a more seamless and reliable workflow for users across various DAWs.

What’s Fixed in Version 1.2.11?

Cubase & Nuendo Stability Fix – One of the primary fixes in this update is the resolution of an issue that caused intermittent audio stuttering in the latest versions of Cubase and Nuendo. This issue had previously impacted the playback and performance of audio within these DAWs when HoRNet SAMP was being used in Dolby Atmos workflows.

The stuttering problem could interfere with the precision and smoothness required for high-end mixing projects, particularly those involving complex spatial audio processing for Dolby Atmos. With the fix in place, users can now enjoy consistent, uninterrupted playback, ensuring that every session progresses smoothly without the distraction of audio dropouts or lag.

This fix is especially crucial for professionals who rely on Dolby Atmos for immersive audio production, as it guarantees a smooth and reliable experience when managing multi-channel setups in these popular DAWs. With this stability enhancement, your workflow becomes significantly more efficient, allowing for uninterrupted mixing and mastering.

Why You Should Update

HoRNet SAMP is specifically engineered to handle master bus processing for Dolby Atmos projects, surpassing the limitations of traditional multi-track processing methods. This tool is an invaluable asset for engineers working in immersive formats, as it simplifies the application of precise audio processing across numerous channels, ensuring a cohesive and polished final mix.

The SAMP plugin comes equipped with four essential audio processors that are crucial for modern audio mastering: an equalizer, compressor, clipper, and limiter. These processors work together seamlessly, providing a comprehensive solution for managing spatial audio content and maintaining consistent quality across multiple audio sources.

  • Equalizer: HoRNet SAMP’s EQ offers precise control over frequency bands, ensuring that all elements of the mix sit perfectly in the spatial audio field. The EQ helps engineers sculpt the tonal balance to create a smooth, well-defined mix that translates accurately to any playback system, whether stereo or immersive.

  • Compressor: The built-in compressor helps manage the dynamic range of audio signals, ensuring that loud sections of the mix do not overwhelm the softer parts. This feature is particularly valuable in a Dolby Atmos environment, where sound elements may be spread across multiple channels and need to be balanced appropriately to avoid unwanted peaks.

  • Clipper and Limiter: These two processors ensure that the mix remains within the desired loudness levels, preventing distortion while enhancing the overall loudness without compromising quality. The clipper offers precise control over peak levels, while the limiter ensures that the audio stays within safe parameters, providing clear, clean audio throughout the mix.

With the introduction of SAMP, HoRNet has made it easier for audio engineers to work with immersive formats like Dolby Atmos, which require highly accurate and reliable processing tools. The update to version 1.2.11 ensures that these tools perform at their best, particularly when users work with complex multi-channel setups that demand maximum reliability and smooth performance.

The Importance of Stability in Mixing Workflows

In professional audio production, stability is paramount. Audio engineers need to be able to trust that their tools will perform flawlessly, especially when working with cutting-edge formats like Dolby Atmos. By addressing the stuttering issue in Cubase and Nuendo, this update helps to prevent potential disruptions during the mixing process, allowing for a more streamlined workflow and eliminating one of the key frustrations faced by users in these DAWs.

For professionals working in immersive audio production, where precision and smooth playback are essential, any issues with system stability can cause delays, interruptions, and even compromise the final mix. Therefore, ensuring smooth operation in DAWs like Cubase and Nuendo is a priority for this release. The fix included in version 1.2.11 offers peace of mind, knowing that the software will work seamlessly with your existing projects.
