HoRNet VU Meter MK4 is a digital VU meter plugin designed to deliver precise level monitoring with an intuitive and scalable interface. The updated GUI is optimized to occupy less screen space, allowing you to focus clearly on the meter bars while maintaining essential controls within easy reach. This plugin supports naming individual tracks and groups, enabling efficient organization and streamlined workflow. It also offers the ability to synchronize parameter changes across any instances within a project and to monitor levels from other instances without needing to switch views.

Calibration features let you tailor the 0VU reference point to match the optimal level of your audio interface’s A/D converters, ensuring accurate metering aligned with your hardware’s headroom specifications. The plugin can automatically adjust internal gain to peak signals within a user-defined range, while a peak ceiling safeguard protects against clipping in dynamic audio material. These controls help maintain consistent and safe signal levels across different tracks and sessions.

The grouping function enhances workflow by allowing multiple VU Meter MK4 instances to be linked, so adjustments like auto gain, reference levels, and color settings can be applied simultaneously. This feature supports up to eight customizable groups and enables real-time level display from any named instance within the project. Compatible with macOS and Windows in various plugin formats, this tool integrates seamlessly into most digital audio workstations, offering flexible and accurate level monitoring for professional audio production.
