Professional Mixing With HOFA SYSTEM

Efficient and creative mixing needs precision, flexibility, and powerful audio plugins. And that’s exactly what HOFA SYSTEM brings on the table. This modular and intuitive plugin system was developed by professional mixing engineers and has everything you need to take your productions to the highest level.

HOFA SYSTEM is a flexible plugin bundle with over 33 high-quality audio plugins that can all be combined in innovative ways – from equalizers, compressors and mastering limiters to creative effects such as reverbs, delays, saturation, pitch shifters and modulations.

Advantages of HOFA SYSTEM for mixing

Modular structure & flexible routing for individually tailored mixing

The modular architecture of HOFA SYSTEM allows plugins to be connected in series and parallel in a variety of ways. This is quick and easy, allowing you to realise any sound you can imagine in no time at all.

Key features:

  • There are 35 integrated, high-end plug-ins, including dynamics, EQs, reverbs, FX, modulation and saturation effects.
  • Free combination and placement of modules.
  • Customisable signal chains for every instrument and mix.

An essential feature of HOFA SYSTEM is its sophisticated routing system, which offers significantly more options than conventional plugins:

  • Parallel routing: Ideal for classic parallel compression
  • Multiband routing: Great for your own multiband dynamics, saturation and de-ess ing
  • Mid/side routing: Perfect control and creative processing of the stereo width
  • Dual mono routing: Independent processing of left and right channels
  • Feedback routing: Your own personal delays and special effects

2. High-quality audio effects and maximum sound quality

All HOFA SYSTEM plugins have been optimised to deliver the highest audio quality, with float processing for constant maximum headroom – gain staging issues are a thing of the past. SYSTEM also supports up to 32x oversampling. For mixing engineers, this means greater clarity, transparency and depth.

The following tools are available in HOFA SYSTEM:

  • Equalizer (EQs)
    • EQ-Parametric (precise, fully parametric tone control with 15 different filters)
    • EQ-Dynamic (dynamic EQ with musically tuned adjustments)
  • Compressors, limiters & dynamics
    • CompSum (classic British bus compressor)
    • CompChan (punchy channel compressor)
    • CompListenMic (legendary British talkback compressor)
    • MasterLimiter (transparent and loud limiting with no compromises)
    • TransientShaper (natural-sounding control of transients & sustain)
    • Expander (upward expander with adjustable ratio)
    • Gate (gate with hold function)
  • Reverbs and delays
    • AlgoVerb (flexible algorithmic reverb)
    • IR-Verb (precise convolution reverb with up to 2886 IRs)
    • Delay (simple delay)
    • DelayPro (spectacular delay sounds)
  • Phaser, chorus, flanger & FX
    • Phaser (5 lively algorithms from retro to future)
    • Chorus (multi-voice chorus with warm sound)
    • FlangerClassic (subtle modulation to classic jet flanging)
    • FlangerTape (manual flanging just like with two analog tape machines)
    • MultiMod (8-voice chorus/flanger, ideal for experiments)
    • PitchMacro, PitchMicro
  • Saturation & distortion
    • Saturator (analog saturation from gentle to extremely “böse”)
    • Distortion (technical distortion for harmonic overtones)

3. Straightforward and intuitive user interface

HOFA SYSTEM features intuitive operation that significantly speeds up your workflow. All modules are clearly structured and freely scalable, allowing you to maintain an overview at all times.

Additional functions:

  • Organise effect modules in folders
  • Control via macro controls for quick access
  • Clear interface even for complex projects

4. Optimised performance for large mixing projects

Despite its extensive capabilities, HOFA SYSTEM remains efficient and resource-friendly. Even large projects with lots of plugin instances run smoothly without putting unnecessary strain on the CPU. For mixing engineers, this means more time for creative work and fewer technical restrictions.

The HOFA SYSTEM plugin bundle offers impressive modular flexibility, innovative routing options, high-quality sound and intuitive operation. Anyone who takes mixing seriously will find all the tools they need to take their productions to the next level with professional and creative results.

Take the opportunity to try out the HOFA SYSTEM plugin bundle in your next project and experience the combination of precision, performance and creative possibilities!
