HoRNet SyncPressor, tempo synced master bus compressor to “glue” your mix together
We have just released the new HoRNet SyncPressor.
The SyncPressor is a dynamics processor designed as a master bus compressor. We developed it in collaboration with Antonio Porcelli, a top Italian mixing engineer. This plugin gives your mix that “glue” effect while staying transparent.
The plugin achieves this by making compression move dynamically with the track. It sets the attack and release times according to the track’s tempo. Instead of typical attack and release knobs, it uses dropdown menus with time divisions tied to its internal tempo. You can sync it to the DAW, set it manually, or let it automatically detect the tempo from the audio.
This approach ensures the compressor’s time constants always work with your track, never against it.
SyncPressor also functions as a track compressor. It gives you the usual compressor settings like variable knee, RMS mode, feedback processing, external sidechain, and a high-pass filter for the sidechain detector (both internal and external).
For master bus compression, you can unlink the left and right channels in the internal detector. This feature turns SyncPressor into a “dual mono” processor, allowing it to compress the left and right channels separately.
Lastly, the plugin includes a dry/wet control that lets you blend the unprocessed signal with the compressed one. The “tempo multiplier” setting allows you to double or halve the attack and release times.
HoRNet SyncPressor uses a fully hardware accelerated GUI using OpenGL on windows and Metal on macOS so the CPU is left for audio processing.
SyncPressor is available now at just 39,99€
