HoRNet Plugins offers the HoRNet DynEq (€10.99 value) dynamic equalizer plugin for free for a limited time, but the offer expires in ten hours.
I’m a fan of HoRNet Plugins, but I honestly wish their freebie deals lasted a bit longer. It’s hard to publish an article on time and share it with all of our readers when the offer lasts for only 24 hours. Still, something is better than nothing.
The developer is currently offering the HoRNet DynEq plugin for free, but there are only ten hours left to take advantage of the deal. However, if you claim your free license before the offer expires, it will remain permanently in your user account.
HoRNet DynEq typically costs €10.99 and is available in multiple plugin formats for Windows and macOS. It’s a simple but capable dynamic equalizer. If you need a good dynamic EQ but don’t want to use a more advanced plugin like TDR Nova, this one’s for you.
Like all other dynamic EQs, HoRNet DynEq can apply the equalization curve proportionally to the intensity of the input signal. It is only active when the signal exceeds a set threshold, making it ideal for addressing issues like specific resonances without affecting the entire frequency range.
As mentioned, the user interface is simple, but it still lets you apply precise dynamic EQ processing to your audio.
The plugin features a single parametric band with standard controls for frequency, gain, and Q. This allows precise targeting of specific resonances or enhancing certain frequencies. For more complex needs, multiple instances of DynEq can be used in sequence.
Thanks to its relatively low CPU hit, I could load more than ten instances on a single audio channel without noticing a substantial performance drop in my DAW.
In addition to the EQ band, HoRNet DynEq offers a pair of handy automation features.
The Auto Speed feature syncs the envelope detector’s attack and release times to the host tempo, specifically to a 1/4 note, ensuring optimal speed settings quickly.
Similarly, the Auto Threshold feature dynamically adjusts the threshold based on the input signal and targeted frequency, ensuring consistent processing regardless of input gain changes.
So, if you’re looking for a simple and transparent dynamic EQ, check out HoRNet DynEq while it’s free.
The developer’s website seems to be getting a lot of traffic, so there’s a buffer system in place to reduce the server load. You might need to wait a few minutes before accessing the HoRNet Plugins website.
HoRNet DynEq is available for Windows and macOS in VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats.
