HoRNet VHS 1.3.0 update

We at HoRNet Plugins are excited to announce the release of HoRNet VHS version 1.3.0, the latest update to our popular plugin designed for headphone frequency response correction and virtual room simulation. With this release, HoRNet VHS becomes an even more powerful and flexible tool for producers, mixing engineers, and musicians looking to achieve accurate and professional-quality mixes using just headphones.

HoRNet VHS stands for Virtual Headphones System, and it was created with one goal in mind: to allow users to mix confidently on headphones by correcting the inherent inaccuracies in headphone frequency response and simulating how audio would sound in a real studio environment. This plugin is especially useful for those who don’t have access to a treated room or a high-end monitoring setup but still want their mixes to translate perfectly across all playback systems.

At the core of VHS is its headphone correction engine. Different headphone models have unique frequency response curves that can introduce coloration and imbalance into a mix. This means that what sounds good in one pair of headphones might not sound right on another system. HoRNet VHS solves this by applying precise EQ correction profiles tailored to each headphone model, ensuring a neutral and accurate listening experience. With version 1.3.0, we’ve added 50 new headphone correction profiles, significantly expanding compatibility with popular brands and models, including both professional studio headphones and consumer-grade options.

But HoRNet VHS goes beyond headphone correction. The plugin also features an advanced virtual room simulation system that emulates the sound of mixing on studio monitors in an acoustically treated room. This is made possible through high-end spatial processing algorithms that simulate how sound interacts with walls, reflections, and the overall acoustics of a studio. By recreating the feeling of sitting in front of a real pair of monitors, VHS helps bridge the gap between headphone mixing and speaker-based reference, giving users a realistic sense of space, depth, and stereo imaging.

In this update, we’ve also introduced a new speaker simulation system. This feature allows users to select from a range of virtual speakers to test how their mix sounds in different playback scenarios. From high-end studio monitors to more affordable devices like the Amazon Echo Dot, users can now simulate their mix on a variety of real-world systems without ever leaving their headphones. This is especially valuable in modern production, where mixes are consumed on everything from smartphones and Bluetooth speakers to TVs and car stereos. With VHS, you can preview how your mix translates to these systems directly from your DAW.

What makes HoRNet VHS truly special is its ease of use. Despite its advanced technology, the plugin features a clean and intuitive interface that makes setup simple. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a beginner, you’ll find that VHS integrates smoothly into your workflow. It supports all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, and others. Simply load the plugin on your master bus, select your headphone model, choose a speaker simulation if needed, and start mixing.

The benefits of mixing with HoRNet VHS go far beyond convenience. When you’re able to trust what you’re hearing, you mix faster and make better decisions. You’ll find yourself doing less back-and-forth referencing, fewer revisions, and more confident delivery. Whether you’re working from a hotel room, your bedroom studio, or a train ride with just your laptop and headphones, VHS gives you a professional monitoring environment wherever you are.

Another highlight of version 1.3.0 is that the update is completely free for existing owners of the plugin. As always, HoRNet remains committed to delivering great tools at an affordable price, with continuous support and updates. Users can download the latest version directly from their “My Account” page on the HoRNet website or through HoRNet DoIn, our convenient plugin management app.
