Free mastering chain from the MYR mastering studio: twelve switchable modules in mastering order, from a corrective EQ cut to a true-peak limiter, with LUFS/LRA/true-peak/PSR/PLR metering, LEARN auto-targeting and streaming previews for Spotify, Apple, YouTube and Tidal.
About Zenith
Zenith is a complete mastering chain in one window from MYR, the same mixing and mastering studio behind Orbit, Pulsar, Prism and Titan. Its twelve modules run in the order a mastering engineer would build a chain: Utility, EQ, Clean, Harshness, Opto, Multiband, Low End, Glue, Brilliance, Saturation, Imager and Limiter, each one switchable on or off.
A loudness panel reads LUFS integrated, loudness range, true peak, PSR and PLR, and LEARN sets the true-peak limiter automatically once you play the loudest section and pick a target. A streaming preview plays back what Spotify, Apple, YouTube or Tidal would do to the master, and MATCH/COMPARE let you judge tone rather than loudness against a reference.
The mid/side EQ cuts up to 96 dB per octave, and the chain adds an opto leveller, bus glue and an eight-band multiband split between mid and side. VST3 and Audio Unit for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 11 or newer, VST3 for 64-bit Windows 10 or newer, 28 factory presets in three categories, no account or licence key, and an illustrated tutorial in English and German.
