HoRNet ZeroLevel Released: Automatic Track Levels for a Starting Mix Balance

HoRNet Plugins has released HoRNet ZeroLevel 1.0.0, an automatic level-adjustment plugin that prepares a starting balance for the tracks you want to coordinate. It uses band-level analysis and source types to calculate one global gain per instance instead of forcing every track to the same full-spectrum LUFS value. No EQ curve or compression is applied to the audio output.

How it works:

  • Insert ZeroLevel on the tracks you want to coordinate and give them the same Group ID.
  • Play the song, capture happens during Play.
  • Stop the transport to start the analysis.
  • Initial gains apply automatically when every instance in the group has a valid result.

Key features:

  • Eight independent Group IDs for coordinating selected tracks.
  • Nine shared presets, including Vocal Upfront, Rhythm Focus and Guitar Heavy.
  • Auto source detection plus 12 manual source categories with Track Type override.
  • Source-category offsets of ±12 dB within the selected group.
  • Total gain range of ±60 dB, one smoothed global gain per instance.
  • Six-band analysis used to calculate the gain, nothing applied as an EQ curve.
  • Preset, source-type and offset changes without repeating Learn.
  • Valid analysis results saved with the host project.
  • Mono and stereo with zero declared latency.
  • English and Italian manuals included in the download.

Price: EUR 24.99 one-time purchase (Complete Bundle owners get ZeroLevel with 40% off after login, ZeroBundle owners get a special price to add ZeroLevel after login).
