HoRNet VHS 1.3.1 update

HoRNet Plugins is excited to announce the release of HoRNet VHS version 1.3.1, the popular Virtual Headphones System plugin designed to revolutionize headphone mixing by providing accurate frequency response correction and simulating real-world room acoustics. Whether you’re working in a home studio, on the go, or in a professional setting, this plugin ensures your mixes translate perfectly across all playback systems.

HoRNet VHS is the ultimate tool for musicians, producers, and mixing engineers who rely on headphones for their work. Mixing on headphones presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to achieving mixes that sound great on different systems. Many headphones, particularly consumer-grade models, often fail to provide an accurate representation of your mix, resulting in inconsistent sound on other systems. VHS solves this problem by offering precise frequency correction and a highly detailed room simulation, allowing you to simulate the acoustics of a professional studio environment.

In this latest update, VHS 1.3.1, we’ve made several improvements that enhance both usability and sound quality:

• Speaker model selection: You can now choose from a range of speaker models for the virtual room simulation, including budget-friendly options like the Echo Dot. This allows you to test how your mix will sound across various playback systems, giving you a broader perspective on how your work will translate to real-world devices.

• Enhanced room simulation: The room simulation technology in HoRNet VHS recreates the acoustics of a professional studio, including reflections, diffusions, and absorptions, providing a more accurate listening experience. Whether you’re mixing in a small room or a larger space, this feature ensures that your mixes are more likely to sound good when played through actual studio monitors.

• Bug fixes: We’ve resolved some key issues, such as fixing the crash when selecting “None Flat” in the speaker simulation after a previous speaker was selected. Additionally, we’ve addressed an issue where the room simulation was not properly being disabled when toggled off in the UI.

• Mono track support removed: To optimize performance and maintain focus on key features, we’ve removed mono track support in this release. This helps streamline the plugin’s core functionality.

With VHS, you can mix on headphones without the guesswork, knowing that your work will sound balanced on speakers and other playback systems. The plugin corrects your headphones’ inherent frequency response, ensuring a more accurate, flat listening experience. It also simulates a high-end studio environment, which is essential for anyone mixing on headphones without the benefits of an acoustic-treated room.

The ability to simulate different speaker models is a standout feature in this update. By selecting from various options, you can now assess how your mix will translate to different listening environments, such as consumer-grade Bluetooth speakers, home audio systems, and more professional setups. This means you can ensure your mix sounds good no matter where it’s played.

Additionally, the room simulation algorithm in HoRNet VHS goes a step further than basic frequency correction. It allows you to hear how your mix would sound in a real-world acoustic space, providing a more immersive and natural listening environment. Whether you’re working in a non-treated room or a professional studio, this feature offers valuable insight into how your mix would sound in real life, improving both your decision-making process and the overall quality of your mix.

One of the key advantages of HoRNet VHS is its ease of use. The user interface has been designed with simplicity in mind, ensuring that you can quickly access and tweak settings without the need for extensive knowledge of audio engineering. You don’t have to be an expert to benefit from VHS; with just a few adjustments, you can start achieving professional-quality mixes on headphones.

VHS is compatible with all major digital audio workstations (DAWs), including Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and more. Whether you’re working on a small home project or in a large professional studio, you can integrate HoRNet VHS into your workflow seamlessly. The plugin is designed to be lightweight, so it won’t bog down your system performance, allowing you to focus on mixing without distractions.

Its room simulation, frequency correction, and customizable speaker options make it the go-to plugin for headphone mixing and mastering.
