Fixes for Windows graphics glitches and improved latency reporting in the limiter lookahead.
HoRNet is proud to announce the release of Magnus MK3 version 1.1.1, the latest update to our flagship brickwall limiter. This maintenance release is designed to improve the stability and accuracy of the plugin, addressing issues specifically affecting Windows systems. Whether you’re a mastering engineer, a broadcast producer, or a post-production specialist, this update ensures a smoother and more reliable experience for all users, allowing you to focus more on your craft without technical interruptions.
In this version, we’ve fixed two critical issues that were identified in the previous versions. These fixes will enhance the overall user experience, particularly for users working on Windows systems:
Graphics Glitches on Windows: The user interface anomalies that caused flickering and misalignment of elements have been fully resolved. These fixes ensure that the visual elements in the plugin now function smoothly without any disruptions, making it easier to navigate and adjust your settings.
Latency Reporting Accuracy: Another issue that was resolved involves the latency reporting in the limiter section. When the oversampling and lookahead features were enabled, the latency metrics were not always reported correctly. This update ensures that latency is now accurately reflected in all scenarios, providing you with precise, predictable results when using the plugin in your mix or master.
Magnus MK3 stands out as one of the most powerful and transparent brickwall limiters available. It was designed with both precision and user-friendliness in mind, ensuring that you get professional results with an intuitive interface. Some of the standout features include:
Clipper & Limiter Algorithms: Magnus MK3 offers five distinct clipper algorithms, including the highly sought-after tape saturation algorithm. Additionally, there are five limiter designs, each with authentic analog emulation, enabling you to tailor the tonal quality of your audio to match your desired sound.
Oversampling up to 16×: The plugin features up to 16× oversampling, which is essential for drastically reducing aliasing artifacts—especially in high-frequency content. This feature ensures that your final output retains its pristine quality, even when pushed to the limits.
Lookahead Functionality: The lookahead functionality is a standout feature that anticipates incoming peaks, allowing the limiter to react more smoothly and prevent distortion. This feature helps ensure that you achieve a clean, transparent result, without unwanted pumping or distortion in your audio. Additionally, the plugin now provides accurate latency feedback, ensuring that what you hear is exactly what you will get in your final master.
Synced & Auto-Release Modes: Magnus MK3 includes synced release and auto-release modes. The synced mode allows you to sync the release time to your DAW’s tempo, while the auto-release mode enables the algorithm to automatically choose the optimal release setting. This flexibility ensures that you always have the ideal release time for any track, whether it’s a fast tempo song or a slow ballad.
Delta Mode & Output Gain Compensation: Delta mode isolates only the processed signal, allowing you to hear precisely how the limiter is affecting your audio. Additionally, the output gain compensation feature maintains consistent perceived loudness throughout your track, even as the input levels are altered. This ensures that the limiter operates transparently, without introducing unwanted volume fluctuations.
Comprehensive Metering: Magnus MK3 features a full suite of metering tools, including LUFS and LU range meters for broadcast-compliant levels. The True Peak detection ensures that your peaks are under control, while the input level charts and gain-reduction meters provide clear visual feedback at a glance. These meters give you complete control over the level and gain reduction, ensuring that your track stays within optimal range.
By updating to version 1.1.1, you’ll benefit from a much more stable experience, particularly on Windows systems. The fixes related to graphics glitches and latency reporting accuracy will eliminate interruptions and ensure that the plugin performs smoothly in your workflow. This update makes the oversampling and lookahead features more reliable, giving you even more control over your sound. With these improvements, you can be confident that the results you hear during the mixing and mastering process are the same as what you’ll deliver in the final output.
For users working with high-track-count sessions or in situations requiring maximum precision, Magnus MK3’s features such as oversampling, lookahead, and advanced metering will provide an enhanced experience, ensuring that you can focus on perfecting your sound without technical distractions.
