Two-Step Mix Bus Processor

HoRNet has released ZeroBus which they describe as a two-step mix bus processor with automatic EQ balance and intelligent compression. Here's the details in their own words...

Every mixing engineer knows that moment: Your individual tracks sound great, but the moment they hit the mix bus, something's off. The low end is muddy. The mids are harsh. Nothing glues together.

You reach for your EQ, start hunting for problems. Then you add a bus compressor, but it takes forever to find the right threshold, ratio, and makeup gain that works across different sections of your song.

30 minutes later, you're still tweaking, second-guessing every move, and your mix still doesn't have that professional cohesion you're chasing.

What if your bus processor could think for itself?

The ZeroBus Approach

We combined two essential processes that every professional mix needs, spectral balance and bus compression, into a single, intelligent plugin that analyzes your audio and adapts automatically.

STEP 1: AUTOEQ

Continuous automatic equalization across 31 bands that balances your spectrum in real-time. No frequency hunting. No endless sweeping. Just instant tonal correction.

•     31-band continuous analysis
•     Real-time spectral balancing
•     Transparent, musical correction
•     0-200% control range

 

STEP 2: SMART COMPRESSION

Two compression modes that learn your material and automatically adapt threshold, makeup, and processing to deliver perfect bus glue or parallel punch.

•     FAT Mode: Parallel 1176-style compression for New York punch
•     GLUE Mode: Serial SSL-style compression for mix cohesion
•     Automatic threshold learning
•     Adaptive makeup gain
