HoRNet H76: the classic. compressor / limiter with modern features

Learn how to use the new compressor in the most effective way

Watch this informative webinar to learn how to use the new HoRNet H76, a classic compressor-limiter that combines vintage sound with modern features. The H76 is an advanced tool that brings together the best of both worlds, providing you with the warmth and character of analog equipment while offering the precision and convenience of modern digital technology. In this session, we will guide you through the powerful capabilities of the H76, helping you understand how to leverage both its manual controls and automatic settings to achieve professional results in your mixes.

The HoRNet H76 is a compressor-limiter that’s known for its ability to shape and control dynamics in a musical and natural way. Whether you’re working on individual tracks like vocals or drums, or full mixes, this tool will help you achieve the sound you’re looking for. We will start by explaining the core functions of the H76, focusing on its classic compressor-limiter design, which can add a rich warmth and punch to your audio tracks. This warmth is one of the key features of the H76, as it gives the sound a more analog feel, even if you are working in a fully digital environment.

Throughout the webinar, we will break down how to use both the manual controls and the automatic settings of the H76 to create mixes that are both dynamic and polished. The manual controls allow you to have full command over your compression settings, enabling you to fine-tune parameters such as threshold, ratio, attack, and release. Adjusting the threshold determines when the compressor starts to engage, while the ratio setting controls the amount of compression applied once the threshold is exceeded. Attack and release are crucial for determining how quickly the compressor reacts to changes in volume, and how long it takes for the compression to fade away after the audio level drops below the threshold.

We’ll dive deep into each of these controls, showing you how to adjust them for various situations. For example, if you want to add a vintage analog warmth to your sound, you can set a slower attack time to allow the transient of the sound to come through before the compressor kicks in. Similarly, if you’re working with vocals, a faster attack might be ideal for tightening up the performance and controlling any unwanted peaks in the vocal dynamics. By learning how to manipulate these controls, you’ll be able to achieve a wide range of sounds, from subtle dynamic control to more pronounced and aggressive compression.

In addition to the manual controls, the H76 also features automatic settings that can make your workflow much faster and more efficient. These settings are designed to quickly apply compression with minimal effort, allowing you to get great results in a short amount of time. This is particularly useful for those who may not have the time or inclination to dive into the finer details of compression settings, but still want to achieve professional results. The automatic settings are smart enough to adjust based on the incoming signal, giving you a good starting point and saving you the trouble of having to make extensive adjustments from scratch.

During the webinar, we will show you how to use these automatic settings to speed up your workflow without sacrificing quality. Whether you are working on drums, bass, or full mixes, these settings will allow you to apply compression quickly, which is perfect for projects with tight deadlines or when you’re simply looking to streamline your process. At the same time, you will still have the flexibility to adjust the compression parameters later on if you feel that the sound needs further refinement.

By the end of the webinar, you will be equipped with the knowledge to use the HoRNet H76 in a variety of contexts, from subtle dynamic control to more aggressive compression techniques. If you’re new to compression, this webinar will provide you with the foundational knowledge you need to start using the H76 in your mixes right away. For more experienced sound engineers, we’ll demonstrate advanced tips and tricks that will help you unlock the full potential of the H76 and take your mixes to the next level.

We’ll also cover some of the unique aspects of the H76 that set it apart from other compressor-limiter plugins on the market. The combination of its classic design and modern features gives it a versatility that is hard to beat. Whether you’re mixing in a digital audio workstation (DAW) or working with analog gear, the H76 can adapt to your workflow and improve your mix with ease. The analog warmth it imparts can give your tracks a rich, polished sound that is often difficult to achieve with purely digital processing.

For producers and engineers who want to add character to their mixes, the HoRNet H76 is a valuable tool that can help you get closer to that elusive vintage sound. Its manual controls provide a deep level of customization, while the automatic settings make it easy to get started quickly. Whether you’re mixing vocals, drums, or full mixes, this tool has the versatility and power to shape your sound the way you want.

As you watch the webinar, we encourage you to experiment with the H76 on your own tracks, applying the techniques discussed to see firsthand how the compressor-limiter can improve your mixes. With its intuitive interface, powerful features, and exceptional sound quality, the H76 will quickly become an essential tool in your mixing toolkit.

In conclusion, this webinar will show you how to unlock the full potential of the HoRNet H76 and improve your mixes with ease. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals of compression, or an experienced sound engineer seeking a tool to streamline your workflow, this session will provide you with everything you need to get the best results from the H76. We look forward to helping you take your mixes to the next level!
