Missed our live webinar on HoRNet AutoGain, HoRNet AutoGain Pro, and HoRNet AutoGain Pro MK2? No worries! We’ve got you covered.

In this detailed and informative recorded webinar, we take a deep dive into the world of automated volume riding with HoRNet’s powerful AutoGain plugins. These plugins are designed to help you achieve perfect volume consistency in your audio tracks, eliminating unwanted fluctuations in volume levels that can disrupt your mix. Whether you are working on a song, podcast, film score, or any other audio project, maintaining consistent volume levels is essential for creating a polished, professional sound.

What is AutoGain?

For those who may not be familiar, AutoGain is an intelligent tool that automatically adjusts the volume of your tracks based on pre-set target levels. Rather than manually tweaking the volume throughout the track, AutoGain allows you to set a target level, and the plugin takes care of the rest. This saves time and ensures that the audio stays within an optimal dynamic range throughout the track, reducing the risk of distortion and unwanted volume jumps.

HoRNet’s AutoGain plugins are incredibly versatile and offer several features that make them stand out in the world of automated gain control. These plugins come in three versions: HoRNet AutoGain, HoRNet AutoGain Pro, and the more advanced HoRNet AutoGain Pro MK2. Each version builds upon the last, offering more functionality, precision, and control to meet the specific needs of professionals in the audio industry.

In this webinar, our lead engineer, Saverio, walks you through the features and functionalities of each version. He demonstrates how to use the plugins with different audio sources, showing exactly how they can be integrated into your workflow to help streamline the process of volume leveling. Whether you’re mixing a track, recording vocals, or mastering your project, AutoGain ensures that every sound is perfectly balanced.

Features and Functionalities

The webinar starts by exploring the core features of the HoRNet AutoGain plugins, which are designed to give you control over the most critical aspects of gain automation. You’ll learn about the key parameters you can manipulate to achieve flawless results.

1. Custom Target Levels: The first feature that Saverio covers is the ability to set custom target levels. This feature allows you to specify exactly what volume level you want your audio track to reach. Whether you’re aiming for a specific loudness standard or simply want to ensure that your track stays within a certain range, AutoGain’s custom target levels make this process incredibly straightforward.

2. Attack and Release Settings: Another important aspect of gain control is how quickly the plugin reacts to volume changes. This is where the attack and release settings come in. Saverio walks you through how to fine-tune these settings to ensure that the plugin responds in a natural, musical way. Whether you want the plugin to react quickly to volume fluctuations or to smooth out more gradual changes, this level of control ensures that your track always sounds smooth and balanced.

3. Sidechain Input for Precision Adjustments: One of the advanced features of AutoGain Pro and AutoGain Pro MK2 is the ability to use sidechain input for even more precision when adjusting gain. By setting up sidechain input, you can control the gain automation in response to another audio source. This is particularly useful when you want to make adjustments based on specific parts of your mix, such as lowering the volume of background elements when the vocals are present. Saverio demonstrates how to use sidechain input to make your gain automation even more dynamic and tailored to your mix.

4. Dynamic Range Control: Both HoRNet AutoGain Pro and Pro MK2 offer enhanced dynamic range control. You will learn how these versions allow for better handling of the loud and soft moments in your mix. By automating the gain, you can bring down overly loud sections and raise quieter ones, ensuring that the track maintains a consistent level without sacrificing the dynamics that make music exciting and engaging.

5. Multi-Track Workflow: The webinar also discusses how the HoRNet AutoGain plugins can improve the overall mixing workflow, especially when working with multiple tracks. For producers, mixing engineers, or anyone dealing with a large number of tracks, manually adjusting each individual volume can be an incredibly time-consuming task. AutoGain takes this burden off your shoulders, automatically leveling your tracks to match the desired target level, saving you countless hours of manual work. This makes it easier to focus on the creative aspects of mixing rather than spending time on technical adjustments.

Real-Time Demonstration

Throughout the webinar, Saverio provides real-time demonstrations, showcasing exactly how HoRNet AutoGain works with different audio sources. He goes step by step, showing how the plugins react to the audio in real-time and how you can fine-tune the settings to get the results you’re after. Whether you are mixing vocals, instruments, or a full multi-track arrangement, you will see how easily AutoGain can be integrated into your process, giving you perfect control over your mix.

The live demonstration includes both simple and advanced use cases. For example, Saverio shows how to use AutoGain to balance the vocal levels in a track, then moves on to more complex scenarios where the plugin is used on multiple tracks with different dynamic ranges. By the end of the demonstration, you will have a solid understanding of how to implement AutoGain into your own workflow and apply the plugin’s features effectively.
