Feature update e for the headphone correction and room simulation tool
We at HoRNet Plugins are thrilled to announce the release of HoRNet VHS version 1.1.0, the latest update to our popular plugin designed to apply frequency response correction to headphones and simulate room acoustics for more accurate and enjoyable mixing experiences when using headphones.
The HoRNet VHS (Virtual Headphone System) has quickly become an essential tool for music producers, sound engineers, and musicians who rely on headphones for mixing and mastering. Traditionally, mixing on headphones can be tricky, as they do not replicate the natural sound of studio monitors or the acoustics of a professional mixing room. HoRNet VHS changes that by compensating for the frequency response of your headphones and creating a virtual room environment, making it easier to make precise mixing decisions regardless of your listening situation.
In this feature update, version 1.1.0, we’ve made several important improvements that will make your experience even better. One of the key additions in this version is the introduction of 56 new headphone correction profiles, making HoRNet VHS compatible with an even wider range of headphones. This update ensures that no matter which model of headphones you’re using, you can achieve accurate frequency response correction and get the most natural sound possible. Whether you’re using high-end studio headphones, consumer-grade models, or Bluetooth earbuds, the plugin can adapt to your setup and offer improved sound clarity, allowing you to work with confidence.
In addition to the expanded headphone profiles, we have also addressed a critical issue that was affecting Pro Tools users. Knob behavior inconsistencies in the previous version led to some frustration, as users noticed that turning certain knobs in the interface didn’t behave as expected. We’ve fixed this issue in version 1.1.0, ensuring that all the knobs now work as intended within Pro Tools. This fix improves the overall usability and stability of the plugin, making it easier for professionals who use Pro Tools to integrate HoRNet VHS into their workflow.
Along with these bug fixes, we’ve also added an important feature aimed at providing greater flexibility to users who want a highly personalized experience with their headphones. The new version includes an internal API for custom headphone profiles, allowing users to create and upload their own headphone correction profiles. This is a game-changer for audiophiles, producers, and anyone working with specialized or rare headphone models. Instead of being limited to the pre-set profiles, you can now fine-tune the sound to suit your exact preferences, making HoRNet VHS an even more powerful tool for critical listening.
One of the standout features of HoRNet VHS is the room simulation algorithm, which recreates the acoustics of professional studio environments. This feature is ideal for users who do not have access to high-end monitors or a dedicated mixing room. With the room simulation active, you can hear how your mix would sound on professional speakers in a well-treated room, helping you make better decisions about reverb, panning, and overall balance.
The plugin’s room simulation technology has been specifically designed to provide a realistic, immersive experience that mimics the natural reflections and reverberations you would hear in an actual studio space. This is essential for mixing with headphones because it prevents you from overcompensating for certain frequencies that might sound too prominent in the direct sound of the headphones. By simulating room acoustics, HoRNet VHS creates a more accurate representation of how your mix will translate to real-world listening environments.
With the addition of more headphone profiles, bug fixes, and custom profile support, HoRNet VHS now offers an even more flexible and personalized mixing environment. If you’re someone who likes to experiment with different setups or use various headphones for different types of work, this new version will help streamline your workflow and enhance your listening experience.
At HoRNet Plugins, we remain dedicated to providing the best tools for music production, mixing, and mastering. We believe that HoRNet VHS is one of the most valuable tools in any producer’s arsenal, especially for those who do a significant amount of work with headphones. The fact that the plugin simulates high-end studio acoustics without requiring physical studio monitors makes it an indispensable solution for musicians and sound engineers working in non-ideal spaces.
As always, we value the feedback from our users, and many of the features and improvements in version 1.1.0 are based on user requests. We understand that professional audio work often requires tools that are both powerful and easy to use, which is why we’ve designed HoRNet VHS with simplicity in mind. The user interface is intuitive, and you don’t need to be an audio expert to use it effectively. Even if you’re new to mixing or just starting to work with headphones as your primary monitoring source, you’ll find that HoRNet VHS makes the process straightforward.
With this update, we’re excited to offer even more features and capabilities for improving your headphone mixing experience. Whether you’re in a professional studio or working from home, HoRNet VHS can help you achieve the accurate, professional-quality mixes you desire. The added headphone profiles, Pro Tools fixes, and custom profile API make version 1.1.0 an essential update for anyone using HoRNet VHS.
As always, we’re offering this update for free to current owners of the plugin. If you already own HoRNet VHS, you can download the update directly from the user area on our website, or by using the HoRNet DoIn downloader/installer. We encourage you to download this new version and explore the additional features it brings to your mixing workflow.
We’re excited to continue improving HoRNet VHS and making it the go-to tool for all your headphone mixing needs. We believe this update, with its expanded compatibility, improved functionality, and user-driven enhancements, will help you achieve better mixes and master your craft with even more precision.
