HoRNet Plugins has announced the release of a faithful emulation that captures the bus compressor found on the ‘big consoles’ that were so crucial in recording and mixing countless hit records.

Designed to deliver the iconic “glue effect”, HoRNet H4K emulates the classic VCA circuitry, enhancing your mix with cohesion, power, and clarity.

The HoRNet H4K bus compressor features traditional multi-position switches for RATIO, ATTACK, and RELEASE, alongside continuously variable potentiometers for THRESHOLD and MAKE-UP. Additionally, it offers modern parameters such as fine input/output trim control, Auto Trim, Auto Gain Reduction, Auto Attack/Release calculations, oversampling, and a dry/wet ratio. This blend of classic and modern controls allows you to achieve the best sound for your mixes effortlessly.

One of the standout features of the HoRNet H4K bus compressor is its ability to bypass the compressor while keeping the analog amplifier emulation active. This enables you to use the plugin as an analog saturation tool. The automatic gain compensation feature ensures smooth management of volume changes caused by gain reduction, providing consistent output levels without manual adjustments.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), HoRNet H4K is priced 21.99 EUR. Complete Bundle owners can purchase the plugin at a 40% discount.
