HoRNet BalancEQ Is Here—Finally, a Plugin That Reads Your Mind (Well, Almost)
I’ve been using HoRNet’s ThirtyOne EQ for a long time when starting projects—it’s great for automatically applying some basic EQ to shape a track’s initial idea. But the real question: Does BalancEQ perform better, and is it worth buying?
Well, if you’re tired of manually wrangling EQ bands, BalancEQ is a 6-band EQ plugin that automatically analyzes your audio and keeps it balanced in real time. Slap it on, hit RESET, and it’ll compare your track against a reference curve for instant tonal sanity. It’s straightforward, and best of all, you can try the demo first to see if it’s the next logical step up from ThirtyOne EQ.
Key Highlights
- Automatic Spectral Balancing: Normalizes to -24 LUFS, identifies frequency peaks, and applies EQ corrections.
- 6 Bands for Transparency: Low/high shelves plus four mid bands.
- Resizable Interface: Available in light, dark, or auto themes.
- Budget-Friendly: Priced at €23.99, so no need to sell a kidney.
If you’re on the fence, just try the demo and decide whether BalancEQ fits your workflow better than ThirtyOne EQ—it’s worth a spin if you want to save time on spectral balancing.
