HoRNet TOTAL EQ is available now

We are excited to announce the release of HoRNet TOTAL EQ, a cutting-edge, versatile visual equalizer with advanced analog emulation. This plugin combines the precision of digital equalization with the warmth and character of analog gear, offering both clarity and musicality in your mixes. Designed to meet the needs of both seasoned professionals and aspiring musicians, HoRNet TOTAL EQ is a tool that brings flexibility, precision, and innovation to your audio processing.

At the heart of HoRNet TOTAL EQ lies its real-time spectrum analyzer, a powerful tool that gives you a visual representation of your audio’s frequency content. This allows you to see exactly what your equalizer is doing to your audio in real time, helping you make more informed decisions about your mix. The plugin also features an equalizer response curve display, which shows the overall effect of your EQ settings on the audio, ensuring you can fine-tune each parameter with ease and precision. The combination of these features offers an intuitive, transparent approach to EQ, helping you shape your sound without second-guessing your settings.

One of the unique features of HoRNet TOTAL EQ is its intuitive control system. Every parameter of each equalizer band can be adjusted directly from the control point on the frequency chart. This innovation means you no longer have to search through menus or endless sliders to find the controls you need. Instead, you can make adjustments quickly and directly on the spectrum, making the entire process faster and more efficient. The plugin’s interface is designed to be as intuitive as possible, reducing the time you spend navigating and maximizing the time spent shaping your sound. Whether you’re dealing with small tweaks or dramatic adjustments, this system gives you total control.

The versatility of HoRNet TOTAL EQ is unparalleled. The plugin offers up to 12 different equalizer bands, giving you complete control over the frequency spectrum. Whether you’re shaping the lows, enhancing the mids, or brightening the highs, this level of control ensures that no part of your mix is left untouched. Each of these bands can function either as a precise digital EQ or with an analog character, depending on the sound you are going for. The advanced analog emulation built into TOTAL EQ is the most sophisticated we’ve created. It replicates the saturation of analog gear but goes a step further by simulating component tolerance. This means that no two bands behave exactly the same, adding a layer of organic variability to your sound. The result is a mix that feels dynamic and “alive,” with subtle imperfections that give it character, much like the behavior of real analog equipment.

Each band in HoRNet TOTAL EQ can also function as one of 17 available filter types. These filters include low pass, high pass, band pass, high shelf, low shelf, and the classic fully parametric peak equalizer. The ability to choose from such a wide range of filters gives you the flexibility to address virtually any issue in your mix, whether you need to remove unwanted low frequencies, boost certain parts of the spectrum, or apply specific tonal shaping. The addition of dynamic EQ functionality for each band takes this flexibility even further, allowing you to not only shape the frequency content but also control how each band reacts to the input signal dynamically.

Another standout feature is the separate control for analog response emulation for each band. This allows you to adjust the analog behavior for each frequency band individually, offering even more precision in the way you apply analog character to your audio. Similarly, each band also has separate control for analog saturation and the amount of analog saturation applied. This level of control means that you can dial in exactly how much warmth and character you want from your analog emulation, giving you the freedom to craft the perfect sound for your mix. Whether you want to keep it subtle or really push the analog saturation for a more dramatic effect, TOTAL EQ gives you the flexibility to do so.

In addition to the individual controls for each band, HoRNet TOTAL EQ also features global analog emulation and saturation switches. These global controls allow you to enable or disable the analog response and saturation for the entire plugin, so you can quickly switch between a purely digital signal and one that has been infused with the warmth and harmonic richness of analog gear. This is ideal for scenarios where you may want to apply a global change without having to adjust each band individually. It adds to the overall convenience of using the plugin and makes workflow even smoother.

The plugin’s automatic output compensation feature ensures that any adjustments made to the input level are automatically compensated at the output, preventing unwanted changes in volume. This is particularly useful when working with analog saturation, which can sometimes result in level shifts. With HoRNet TOTAL EQ, you can be sure that your output remains consistent, even as you make significant changes to the input levels or the analog settings. This feature saves time and reduces the risk of creating unintentional volume discrepancies.

TOTAL EQ also comes with constant loudness monitoring, ensuring that the loudness of your audio remains consistent across the EQ adjustments. This feature is particularly helpful when working in complex mixes, as it allows you to make EQ changes without inadvertently altering the overall loudness of the track. By keeping loudness consistent, you can be sure that any changes you make are only affecting the tonal balance, not the volume.

The plugin’s resizable interface ensures that it can fit into any workflow, whether you’re working on a small laptop screen or a large monitor. The hardware accelerated design guarantees that performance remains fast and responsive, even with complex projects. HoRNet TOTAL EQ supports both Mac OS X (10.9 and later) and Windows (7 and later), making it a versatile solution for users across platforms. It is available as a 64-bit plugin for both Mac and Windows, and it supports Audio Units, VST2.4, VST3, and AAX formats, ensuring compatibility with most DAWs on the market.

With all these features, HoRNet TOTAL EQ is an incredibly powerful tool for anyone looking to take their audio processing to the next level. Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or just looking to add some analog warmth to your tracks, this plugin gives you the control and flexibility to shape your sound exactly how you want it.
