HoRNet SAMP 1.2.6 update

We are excited to announce the release of HoRNet SAMP version 1.2.6, the ultimate spatial audio master processor for Dolby Atmos mixing, designed to revolutionize how audio engineers handle multichannel audio mastering. With this update, HoRNet SAMP continues to be an indispensable tool for professionals working in immersive audio environments. If you’ve worked with Dolby Atmos mixes before, you are familiar with the challenge of managing multiple channels without a traditional master bus, a limitation that often makes achieving a cohesive and balanced sound more difficult. This is where HoRNet SAMP comes in, offering a powerful solution for spatial audio processing with a highly intuitive interface.

HoRNet SAMP integrates four classic master bus processors into a single plugin, giving you full control over the EQ, compression, clipping, and limiting of your Dolby Atmos mixes. The processors include a high-quality equalizer, a dynamic compressor, a clipper, and a limiter. All four processors are linked together, ensuring that any adjustments made to one instance immediately reflect across all others. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments to each processor, allowing for a streamlined and more efficient workflow. Whether you’re mastering a small project or working with a large, complex Atmos mix, this feature greatly simplifies your mastering process, ensuring consistency and precision in your work.

HoRNet SAMP uses the same high-quality technology found in TotalEQ, SyncPressor, and Magnus MK2—three of our most popular plugins. This ensures that you get the best possible results in terms of sound quality and reliability. The technology behind these processors is designed to deliver transparent, yet impactful, effects, allowing you to fine-tune your spatial audio mix to perfection. You can also rearrange the order of the effects, enabling you to tailor the processing chain to match your creative vision and technical requirements.

Another powerful feature of HoRNet SAMP is its flexibility in terms of handling different track formats. The plugin supports mono, stereo, and 7.1.2 tracks, making it perfect for both object-based and bed-based mixing. This means that you can use HoRNet SAMP not only to master your overall mix but also to process individual tracks within your Dolby Atmos setup, allowing you to shape the spatial dynamics of each element in the mix. Whether you are working on complex music productions, sound effects, or film soundtracks, HoRNet SAMP offers the versatility required for a wide range of professional applications.

HoRNet SAMP also gives you complete control over your mix through its detailed interface. The plugin provides a virtual master bus that displays all 160 available instances. Each instance is accompanied by a built-in peak meter, so you can closely monitor the level of each track and ensure that the dynamics of your mix remain balanced. The track names are also displayed when you hover over any of the 160 level indicators, which makes it easier to identify each track in your session. This is a particularly useful feature when working on large Atmos mixes, as it allows for quick navigation and precise adjustments.

One of the key benefits of HoRNet SAMP is its ability to integrate seamlessly into your Dolby Atmos workflow. The plugin’s meters and sidechain functionality combine input from all instances, making it easier to control and adjust your spatial mix. This feature simplifies the management of multiple audio tracks and allows for more effective gain staging, even in complex environments where many tracks are routed to different positions in the stereo or surround field. With HoRNet SAMP, you can now control the levels of your audio with confidence, knowing that the plugin will update and reflect changes across all instances in real time.

Another standout feature of HoRNet SAMP version 1.2.6 is its support for Apple Silicon M1 processors, ensuring optimal performance on the latest hardware. This update allows HoRNet SAMP to run seamlessly on the most up-to-date macOS systems, making it future-proof for users who are adopting newer Apple hardware. Additionally, the plugin is now fully compatible with the latest version of Pro Tools, ensuring that users can load their presets without any issues, a functionality that was previously problematic. These updates enhance the stability and usability of HoRNet SAMP, making it even more reliable and accessible for all users.

HoRNet SAMP also includes a variety of other useful features designed to optimize your workflow. The plugin offers a high-quality equalizer for precise frequency adjustments, allowing you to shape the tonal balance of your mix with ease. The compressor and clipper provide dynamic control, ensuring that your audio levels are consistent and balanced, while the limiter ensures that your output does not exceed the desired threshold. Together, these processors form a comprehensive solution for mastering Dolby Atmos mixes, providing all the tools you need in a single, unified plugin.

As with all HoRNet plugins, SAMP is known for its intuitive interface and ease of use. The plugin has been designed to be accessible to both beginners and professionals, with a layout that makes it easy to access all the key features and settings. The dry/wet knob allows for quick blending of the original and processed signals, while the VU meter helps you monitor levels and maintain proper gain structure throughout your entire mix. Whether you are an experienced engineer or just starting out with Dolby Atmos mixing, HoRNet SAMP ensures that you can achieve professional-quality results.

In addition to its powerful features, HoRNet SAMP is also a cost-effective solution for Dolby Atmos processing. By offering four essential processors in a single plugin, HoRNet SAMP eliminates the need for multiple separate plugins, saving you both money and system resources. The plugin is available in Audio Units, VST3, and AAX formats, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional audio workstations. Whether you use Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, or Pro Tools, HoRNet SAMP integrates smoothly into your existing setup.

In summary, HoRNet SAMP version 1.2.6 is a powerful and versatile plugin that gives audio engineers full control over their Dolby Atmos mixes. With its intuitive interface, high-quality processors, and advanced features like track naming and sidechain integration, SAMP makes managing complex spatial audio mixes easier than ever before. Whether you are working with mono, stereo, or 7.1.2 tracks, HoRNet SAMP offers the tools and flexibility you need to create professional-quality mixes. This update also includes important bug fixes and performance improvements, including Apple Silicon M1 support and Pro Tools compatibility.
