Bring Iconic Sound to Your Mixes

MixComp is our gift to the audio production community – a completely free compressor plugin inspired by the legendary channel compressor found on one of the most famous analog mixing consoles in recording history. For decades, this iconic compressor has been a staple in professional studios worldwide, celebrated for its punchy, musical sound and its ability to handle everything from subtle compression to full-on mix bus duties. With MixComp, HoRNet brings that same vintage analog character and dynamic control into the digital age, delivering a powerful tool that integrates seamlessly into any modern DAW.

Whether you’re a beginner producer, an experienced mixing engineer, or simply a tone enthusiast, MixComp offers the perfect blend of simplicity and depth. The plugin has been carefully designed to faithfully emulate the warmth, precision, and musical behavior of its analog counterpart, with the added benefits of modern digital flexibility. The result is a compressor that not only sounds great but also feels natural and intuitive to use.

One of the standout features of MixComp is its transparent yet musical compression. This means it’s capable of taming peaks and evening out dynamics while preserving the natural character of your source material. It excels on drums, vocals, bass, guitars, and even full mixes, offering a smooth and professional sound without introducing unwanted artifacts. From subtle glue compression on the stereo bus to aggressive transient shaping, MixComp adapts to the needs of your production.

The plugin’s user-friendly interface makes it easy to find the right settings for any application. You’ll find intuitive controls for threshold, ratio, attack, release, and make-up gain, all designed to respond like classic analog gear. These controls allow you to dial in everything from slow, gentle compression to fast, punchy dynamics with just a few tweaks. A built-in gain reduction meter keeps you informed of exactly how much compression is being applied, giving you full control over the dynamics of your mix.

To ensure high-fidelity sound quality, MixComp includes adaptive oversampling. This intelligent feature adjusts the internal processing based on your session’s sample rate, minimizing aliasing and ensuring pristine audio reproduction at all times. Whether you’re working at 44.1kHz or 192kHz, you can trust MixComp to maintain a clean, artifact-free sound, giving your productions a professional polish.

In addition to its powerful audio engine, MixComp offers a number of modern workflow enhancements. The resizable GUI allows you to adjust the plugin window to match your screen resolution or personal preferences. Whether you’re working on a large desktop monitor or a compact laptop, the interface remains sharp and easy to navigate thanks to hardware-accelerated graphics.

Another thoughtful feature is the plugin’s theme customization. You can choose between light mode, dark mode, or let the plugin automatically adapt to your system settings. This level of personalization ensures that MixComp feels right at home in any studio environment and helps reduce eye strain during long sessions.

Despite being a free plugin, MixComp doesn’t cut corners. It includes all the essential features you’d expect from a professional compressor and then some. The sound quality rivals that of paid plugins, making it an incredibly valuable addition to your plugin library. And because it comes from HoRNet Plugins, you can be confident in its performance, stability, and sound accuracy.

Whether you’re mixing music, working on film or video audio, podcasting, or doing sound design, MixComp delivers the kind of versatile compression that fits naturally into a wide range of workflows. It’s especially effective when used as a mix bus compressor, helping to glue your tracks together and add a cohesive, finished feel to your mix.

MixComp is also ideal for educational purposes.
