Introducing HoRNet Spaces MK2: Design Your Room, Not Just Your Reverb

Most reverb plugins give you presets: Hall, Plate, Room, Cathedral. You pick one, adjust decay and mix, and hope it fits.

Spaces MK2 works differently. Instead of browsing a list of sampled spaces, you design the room itself.

The story behind Spaces MK2:

I kept running into the same situation when mixing. I needed to place instruments in specific acoustic environments — a guitar in a small treated room, vocals in a wood-paneled studio, drums with the air of a larger space. But most reverbs forced me to pick from their preset library and hope one was close enough.

I wanted a reverb where I could define the actual dimensions of the room, choose the wall materials, position the sources and microphones in 3D space. A reverb that worked like the room it was simulating, not like a collection of recorded spaces.

That reverb didn’t exist, so I built it.


What is Spaces MK2?

Category: VST3/AU/AAX Room-Based Reverb Plugin Purpose: Simulate acoustic spaces using ray tracing physics for natural, controllable reverb Best for: Producers, mixers, sound designers, and post-production work requiring credible acoustic spaces

Pricing:

  • New purchase: €19.99 — includes lifetime free updates
  • Upgrade from Spaces v1: €4.99
  • Complete Bundle owners: 40% off (approximately €11.99)

Key Features:
• Ray tracing physics for reflections calculated from actual acoustic paths
• Modellable room with dimensions in meters and wall materials with LF/HF split
• 3D source and microphone positioning in X/Y/Z coordinates
• Stereo and Binaural output modes
• Room presets with save/load and startup default
• Remove ceiling option for open-air spaces


How It Works

Ray Tracing Physics

Unlike convolution reverbs that use recorded impulse responses, Spaces MK2 calculates reflections by tracing acoustic rays through your defined room. Each ray’s delay and attenuation is determined by the path length and the materials it encounters. The result is reverb that follows the same rules real sound follows — natural behavior without the artifacts that sometimes plague IR-based reverbs.

Define the Room

Set the Width, Length, and Height in meters. Choose materials for each wall — each material has LF and HF controls for both reflections and diffusion. Remove the ceiling for outdoor or open-air environments.

Position Sources and Microphones

Place Speaker L and Speaker R sources at X/Y/Z coordinates. Position the listener/microphone independently in 3D space. Move the mic closer to a source to hear more direct sound with less reverb. Angle the sources to hear how panning affects the room response.

Choose Your Output

Stereo mode for traditional mixing workflows. Binaural mode uses a virtual head with two ears for immersive headphone monitoring — no special headphones or processing chain required.
