HoRNet Plugins Update: Native Support for Apple Silicon and More
We are excited to announce that we have just updated six different HoRNet plugins to offer native support for Apple Silicon. This update brings enhanced performance and efficiency for users with M1 and M2 chips, providing an optimized experience for audio professionals working on modern Apple devices. The improvements come alongside various bug fixes and performance enhancements across our plugin range.
The Coherence Meter is a powerful visual tool designed to assist with your mixing process. It gives you a clear visual representation of how well-balanced your mix is and helps you prepare it for the mastering stage. This plugin is especially useful for ensuring your mix is coherent and free of issues before you send it off to be mastered.
When comparing your mix to a reference level, Coherence Meter helps you identify any deviations from the ideal balance, making it easier to understand what aspects of your mix need attention. Whether it’s overall loudness, dynamic range, or frequency balance, the Coherence Meter gives you the insights you need to make informed decisions and ensure your mix sounds its best.
By analyzing the relationship between the left and right channels, this plugin can help you quickly spot phase issues and other stereo imbalances. It’s an essential tool for producers and engineers who want to guarantee that their mixes are well-balanced and ready for the final mastering process.
Next up is HoRNet ElliptiQ, an elliptical equalizer inspired by the vinyl cutting era. This plugin is essential for audio engineers and producers working in the realm of vinyl mastering. During vinyl mastering, bass frequencies that are out of phase or have too much difference between the left and right channels can cause the needle to jump out of the groove, resulting in distorted or unusable pressings.
The ElliptiQ is designed to tackle this issue. It allows you to make precise adjustments to the low-end frequencies, ensuring that your mix is vinyl-compatible. The ability to manage phase discrepancies in the low end can significantly impact the quality of your vinyl pressings, and ElliptiQ is a must-have for anyone working with this medium.
Beyond its use in vinyl mastering, ElliptiQ is a versatile equalizer that can be used in any digital audio workflow. With its unique elliptical EQ bands, you can make surgical cuts and boosts in the frequency spectrum, allowing for a more refined, controlled sound.
The HoRNet HDS1 plugin faithfully recreates the legendary orange guitar distortion pedal, known for its rich and saturated tones. However, the power of the HDS1 extends beyond guitar distortion. It’s an essential tool for audio producers seeking to add depth, character, and high-quality distortion to their tracks.
While designed to replicate the iconic guitar distortion pedal, the HDS1 is just as effective on other sources. Whether you’re looking to add gritty saturation to your drums, vocals, or bass, the HDS1 delivers a dynamic and aggressive sound that brings a new layer of excitement and presence to your mix. It’s an incredibly versatile plugin that can be used creatively across a wide range of genres.
If you’re seeking the signature warmth and punch of classic distortion, but with modern digital flexibility, the HDS1 is an invaluable addition to your plugin collection. It’s more than just a guitar tool—it’s a sonic enhancement for any track in need of that extra edge.
HoRNet Spikes is a transient shaper/processor that simplifies sound manipulation with just one intelligent knob. This plugin makes it easier than ever to shape your transients, control dynamics, and refine your mix, all while offering flexibility for users who prefer more control.
The beauty of Spikes is its ability to offer auto settings that intelligently adjust for optimal performance, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your work rather than constantly fine-tuning parameters. However, for those who prefer more control, Spikes provides easy access to all of its settings.
Unlike traditional compressors, which require a fixed threshold for proper operation, HoRNet Spikes uses a relative threshold. This means you don’t need to continuously monitor signal levels or adjust your settings as your track evolves. Spikes will automatically adapt to your audio, providing transparent transient shaping that retains the natural feel of your performance.
Whether you’re working with drums, vocals, or any other sound source, Spikes gives you a significant advantage by offering more intuitive and flexible dynamic control.
HoRNet TrackUtility serves as the Swiss army knife of audio processing tools. Packed with a variety of useful processors in a compact interface, TrackUtility is perfect for any task that requires fast, efficient, and versatile audio manipulation.
With TrackUtility, you can quickly switch a track from stereo to mono, remove DC offsets, trim your audio, or even adjust the panning. It’s the go-to plugin for making essential adjustments to your tracks without having to load up multiple plugins or navigate complex menus. Whether you need to clean up a recording or tweak your mix, TrackUtility provides all the necessary tools in a single, easy-to-use interface.
This plugin is a must-have for audio engineers looking to streamline their workflow and keep things efficient while maintaining high-quality results.
Lastly, Track Coherence is a dynamic range meter that’s specifically designed to help you control and optimize the dynamic range of each track in your mix. Dynamic range plays a crucial role in the impact and balance of your mix, and getting this parameter right is essential for creating a more impactful and cohesive sound.
With Track Coherence, you can easily monitor the dynamic range of your individual tracks and make sure they are properly balanced. By ensuring that each element has the right amount of dynamic contrast, you can create mixes that sound more polished and professional.
Whether you’re mastering a track or working on a complex mix, Track Coherence helps you achieve the ideal dynamic range for each element, resulting in a more polished and balanced mix.
We are pleased to offer these updates for free to all existing plugin owners. To get the latest versions with native support for Apple Silicon and other improvements, you can easily download them using HoRNet DoIn or by visiting your “my account” page on our website.
With this update, we are committed to making sure our plugins continue to meet the demands of modern workflows and provide the highest level of performance possible. We’re excited for you to experience these updates and continue making amazing music with HoRNet plugins.
Nice, would be great to have a date of release or at least a supported os/cpu version in 'my product' list..
