HoRNet VHS 1.0.3 update

We are thrilled to announce the release of the new HoRNet VHS version 1.0.3, the latest update of our flagship headphones correction and room simulation plugin. At HoRNet Plugins, we are committed to providing high-quality tools for music producers, sound engineers, and musicians, and this update represents another step forward in our mission to enhance your mixing experience.

The Virtual Headphones System (VHS) plugin was designed to tackle a significant challenge in music production: achieving accurate and professional-quality mixes using headphones. While headphones are a convenient and portable tool for mixing, they often suffer from frequency response issues and lack the natural acoustics of a professional studio environment. HoRNet VHS addresses these problems by correcting the frequency response of your headphones and simulating the acoustic properties of a real studio room.

The key feature of HoRNet VHS is its ability to simulate room acoustics and provide a more realistic mixing environment. When you use headphones, you typically don’t get the natural reverb and ambience that comes from a professional recording studio. By incorporating sophisticated room simulation algorithms, the plugin recreates the sound of high-end speakers and the natural reverb of a physical space. This allows you to mix in an environment that closely mimics a professional studio, even if you don’t have access to one.

For those who may not be familiar with the technical aspects of room acoustics, it’s important to understand how significant a role they play in the mixing process. In a professional studio, the sound of high-end monitors and the way sound reflects off the room’s walls, ceiling, and floor all contribute to how you perceive the music. With HoRNet VHS, we’ve carefully simulated these effects so you can experience that same level of clarity and depth, but from the convenience of your headphones. This means you can work on your mixes from anywhere — whether in a home studio, on the go, or in any other location — and still achieve the precision of a professional studio environment.

The most recent update, version 1.0.3, brings several important fixes and improvements. One of the major enhancements addresses an issue with VST3 compatibility. Some users were experiencing problems with VST3 not loading correctly in certain DAWs on Windows systems. This bug has now been resolved, ensuring that the plugin works smoothly across a broader range of digital audio workstations.

In addition, the update resolves issues with the knob input boxes in the plugin’s user interface. Previously, these boxes would occasionally accept input that wasn’t restricted to numerical values. This bug has now been fixed, improving the precision and usability of the plugin.

Another issue addressed in this update was the wrong ambience level in the room simulation when speakers were placed in the middle of the room. The updated version now correctly simulates the ambient sound, ensuring that the virtual room behaves more realistically based on speaker placement. This provides a more accurate mixing experience and ensures that the room’s acoustics are simulated properly.

Finally, we’ve also corrected the picture for the AKG K240 Studio headphones. This update ensures that the headphone model displayed in the plugin is accurate, making it easier for users to select the correct settings for their specific headphones.

But what really makes HoRNet VHS stand out is its seamless integration with a wide variety of DAWs. The plugin fits easily into your existing workflow, whether you use Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, or any other major digital audio workstation. It’s designed with the user in mind, featuring an intuitive and user-friendly interface that’s simple to navigate. Whether you’re an experienced sound engineer or a beginner producer, you’ll find that the controls are easy to understand and adjust. This means that you don’t need to be an expert to achieve professional results.

When it comes to achieving high-quality mixes, using headphones without the proper correction and room simulation can lead to inaccurate results. For example, you may end up with mixes that sound great on your headphones but poorly translate to speakers. The HoRNet VHS plugin ensures that your mixes sound good on both headphones and speakers, making it an essential tool for any music producer or sound engineer.

What’s more, the room simulation feature in HoRNet VHS doesn’t just recreate the acoustics of any studio room; it simulates different environments based on the type of music you’re working on. Whether you’re mixing a rock track, electronic music, or orchestral compositions, you can adjust the settings to tailor the room’s acoustics to suit your needs. This level of flexibility gives you a new level of control over your mixes and helps you make more informed decisions about your sound.

For musicians, HoRNet VHS is a game-changer. It allows you to create professional-quality mixes even when you don’t have access to a high-end studio or monitoring system. Whether you’re recording at home or on the road, you can be confident that your mixes will translate well to different listening environments. This is especially important for those who work in genres that demand a high degree of precision, such as electronic music and film scoring.

The best part is that you can get the update to HoRNet VHS 1.0.3 for free if you already own the plugin. Simply download the latest version from the HoRNet DoIn or through the user area. This free update ensures that all users have access to the latest bug fixes and improvements, without any additional cost.

In summary, the HoRNet VHS plugin is a must-have tool for anyone serious about headphone mixing. With its ability to correct frequency response, simulate room acoustics, and provide a realistic and accurate mixing environment, it’s the perfect solution for music producers, sound engineers, and musicians alike. The new version 1.0.3 addresses several important issues, making it even more reliable and user-friendly.
