HoRNet AutoGain Pro 1.3.0 update

We are excited to announce the release of the updated version of HoRNet AutoGain Pro, our advanced volume leveling tool designed to help you easily and precisely manage the dynamics of your tracks. This update brings significant improvements to the functionality and stability of the plugin, making it an even more essential part of your audio production toolkit.

HoRNet AutoGain Pro is built on the highly effective DSP algorithm from the original AutoGain plugin. While the original version was already a great tool for automatic volume leveling, AutoGain Pro takes it a step further with additional features that allow for even greater flexibility and control over the volume automation process. This makes AutoGain Pro the perfect solution for those who want to fine-tune their volume adjustments with ease and precision, whether they’re working on mixes, mastering, or even sound design.

One of the standout features of AutoGain Pro is its ability to add an internal reference, allowing you to set a target level for your audio. This is crucial for producers and engineers who want to ensure that the volume of their tracks is consistent throughout the session. By setting a reference level, the plugin automatically adjusts the volume to maintain that level, making sure that no section of the track is too quiet or too loud. This feature is perfect for streamlining workflows and ensuring that every part of your track is in perfect balance.

In addition to the internal reference, AutoGain Pro also includes peak detection. This is an important addition because it allows the plugin to react to the peak levels of your signal. Peak detection ensures that AutoGain Pro can adjust the volume in a way that prevents clipping or distortion, providing a smooth, distortion-free sound. This is particularly useful when working with tracks that have fluctuating levels, ensuring that no unwanted spikes or dips occur.

Another new and powerful feature of AutoGain Pro is reverse gain processing. This option allows you to adjust the plugin’s behavior by applying gain processing in reverse. This can be used creatively to shape the dynamic range of your tracks in a more unconventional way, providing you with more possibilities for achieving the exact sound you want. With reverse gain processing, you can create subtle dynamic changes that might be difficult to achieve using traditional compression techniques, offering greater control over your sound.

To further enhance your flexibility, AutoGain Pro now allows for adjustable minimum and maximum gain settings. This means that you can set boundaries for the amount of gain adjustment the plugin can apply, giving you complete control over the range of volume changes. This feature is particularly useful for situations where you want to preserve the natural dynamics of your track while still ensuring that the overall levels are consistent. For example, you may want to prevent the volume from dropping too low in quiet sections, or avoid making loud sections too overpowering.

Despite all these additional features, AutoGain Pro still retains all the functionality of the original AutoGain plugin, including its ability to automatically detect and adjust the volume levels of your tracks. The ease of use remains at the core of the plugin, allowing you to apply volume automation quickly without the need for detailed manual adjustments. The plugin does the heavy lifting for you, leaving you more time to focus on the creative aspects of your project.

One of the key advantages of using AutoGain Pro is the ability to visually monitor the processing that is happening in real time. The plugin provides a clear oscilloscope view that allows you to see both the gain curve and the reference signal, offering immediate feedback about how the plugin is adjusting the volume. While auto-gain processors can sometimes be difficult to gauge based on ear alone, the oscilloscope view provides a powerful tool for visualizing the effect of the processing, ensuring that you are getting the result you want. Although ear-based adjustments are still essential for optimal results, the visual feedback ensures that your volume adjustments are always on point, even when the changes are subtle.

With AutoGain Pro, you can be confident that your mixes will always sound polished, balanced, and professional. The advanced volume leveling capabilities allow you to maintain a consistent level throughout your track, ensuring that no section is lost or overpowered by other elements in the mix. Whether you’re working with vocals, drums, full mixes, or any other element in your project, AutoGain Pro ensures that every detail is properly leveled and polished.

The 1.3.0 version of HoRNet AutoGain Pro introduces important updates to ensure compatibility with the latest hardware and software. One of the most significant changes is the added support for Apple Silicon M1 processors. With more users switching to Apple’s new generation of Macs, this update ensures that AutoGain Pro is fully compatible with the Apple Silicon M1 architecture, providing enhanced performance and stability for users on these new devices.

Another crucial update in version 1.3.0 is the fix for the issue of the GUI not scaling correctly on Windows devices with high-DPI monitors. This issue had caused some users to experience a less-than-ideal visual interface, making it difficult to adjust the plugin settings accurately. With this update, the AutoGain Pro interface now scales correctly on high-DPI monitors, providing a better and more intuitive user experience for Windows users.

We are pleased to offer this update as a free upgrade for all existing owners of AutoGain Pro. If you’ve already purchased the plugin, you can easily download the latest version from your user area or by using the HoRNet DoIn downloader installer. We are committed to continually improving our plugins and ensuring that they stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, providing our users with the best possible experience.

In conclusion, HoRNet AutoGain Pro remains the ultimate tool for precise volume automation. With its added features, including internal reference, peak detection, reverse gain processing, and adjustable gain limits, AutoGain Pro gives you the flexibility and control to achieve perfectly balanced mixes with ease. Whether you’re working in mixing, mastering, or sound design, AutoGain Pro offers unmatched functionality and stability to help you create professional-level results quickly and effortlessly. With the new 1.3.0 update, you can be sure that AutoGain Pro will continue to meet your needs, whether you’re using the latest Apple Silicon Macs or working with high-DPI monitors on Windows.
