HoRNet Plugins have updated and price dropped SAMP for a limited time, now only €11.99, (usually €59.99). The offer ends June 26th (tomorrow!!)
What’s new in version 1.3.0:
- Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 support. Full 12-channel routing for the new Atmos bed standard.
- Lower CPU on Atmos sessions in Nuendo 13. You can run more SAMP instances without pegging the meter.
- Smoother limiter release in sync mode. Tweaking release while sync is engaged no longer pumps.
- More accurate true-peak limiting for Atmos. Tighter inter-sample peak handling for Atmos delivery specs.
- Stability improvements across Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, and REAPER
HoRNet SAMP is a processor designed by the Italian engineer Antonio Porcelli to work with Dolby Atmos mixes and resolves one of “problems” that engineers find when approaching this new format: there is no master bus. This big difference with conventional stereo mixes makes it impossible do to any of the classic adjustment you do on a stereo mix.
Imagine you have 128 different tracks and you want to lift the “highs”, you should go one by one and adjust the EQ, SAMP resolves this issue by providing four classic master bus processors that are linked together, so a change on an instance of SAMP is reflected on every other instance, simultaneously.
Packaged into a single plugin you can find: an equalizer (using the same technology found in our TotalEQ) a compressor (using the same technology of our SyncPressor) a clipper and a limiter (using the same technology of our Magnus MK2). These processors take the audio from each track and apply the same settings to every track, simulating the effect of a master bus processor.
The order of the effect can be rearranged dragging their position on the right part of the plugin interface and their meters and side chain are fed with the sum of the input of every instance of the plugin, mimicking the behavior of a master bus processor.
In the right part of the interface you can find the list of instances of the plugin available (up to 160 different instances of the plugin are supported) each of the instances has a peak meter built in showing you the level of that track and you can decide if you want to have them all participate to the “virtual” master bus or just some of them by clicking on each one.
Of course SAMP reads the name of track on which it is used (except for the VST version) and hovering with the mouse on any of the 160 level indicators on the left will show you the track name of the indicator.
SAMP is a mono only plugin but it can work on any DAW, even if it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos directly.
