HoRNet AnalogStage 1.1.4 update

We are thrilled to announce the release of the latest update for AnalogStage, our highly popular console emulation plugin. This update, version 1.1.4, is a maintenance release that brings several significant improvements and fixes, ensuring that users continue to have the best possible experience with our software. We are committed to delivering a seamless and intuitive experience, and this update is part of our ongoing efforts to provide you with the highest-quality tools for your audio production needs.

One of the major enhancements in this new version is the improvement to the VU meter ballistics. The VU meters are an essential part of mixing and mastering, providing valuable insights into the levels of your audio signals. In version 1.1.4, users can now expect more accurate and responsive readings from the VU meters. This means you can rely on the meters to offer a more precise representation of your audio levels during the critical stages of mixing and mastering. The improvement to the VU meters ensures that your monitoring experience is more reliable and that any adjustments made based on their readings will be much more consistent and accurate. Whether you’re fine-tuning your mix or preparing for a master, this new VU meter behavior will give you the confidence you need to make informed decisions about your audio.

In addition to the VU meter improvements, we’ve also focused on optimizing the grouping system in AnalogStage. The exchange speed and reliability of the grouping system have been significantly improved in this update, making it faster and more stable. The grouping system is an essential feature when working with multiple tracks or channels, as it allows you to apply changes across several instances at once. With this improvement, managing and applying changes across tracks or channels has become even more efficient, saving you valuable time when working on complex projects. This means that whether you’re working on a large-scale mix or simply need to apply adjustments across multiple elements in your project, AnalogStage will allow you to do so with ease and precision.

Another important fix included in version 1.1.4 addresses the frequency response of the tube model. After extensive testing and feedback, we identified and corrected some issues with the previous version’s tube model. This fix has led to a more accurate and natural representation of the analog tube characteristics, ensuring that the warmth, saturation, and tonal qualities of the tube emulation are now more authentic and consistent. These subtle yet crucial tonal changes make a world of difference in terms of how AnalogStage emulates the character and warmth of classic analog equipment. Users can now enjoy a smoother, more realistic analog feel, with better consistency from track to track. Whether you’re looking to add some gentle saturation or a more pronounced analog distortion, this fix guarantees a more precise and lifelike tube sound.

Beyond the improvements to the VU meters, grouping system, and tube model, this update also includes several under-the-hood enhancements aimed at optimizing the overall performance of AnalogStage. We understand the importance of stability and reliability when working in high-pressure environments like professional audio production. This release ensures that the plugin performs optimally across all supported platforms, without any unexpected crashes or slowdowns. We’ve also made several minor adjustments to improve the plugin’s responsiveness, ensuring that it operates seamlessly within your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

This update is free for all current owners of the AnalogStage plugin, as part of our ongoing commitment to improving the software and providing exceptional value to our users. We believe that maintaining and enhancing the software post-release is just as important as its initial launch, and we continue to work tirelessly to make AnalogStage the best it can be.
