Really nice plugin! Love how it splits peak/steady, mid/side, low/high, left/right and transients — super useful and surprisingly intuitive. Works great on Debian + ARM -based Linux too! Sure, it could use a few small UX tweaks, but it's free and actively developed, so that's an easy 5/5 from me. Multiple outputs let you go wild with post processing the splitted Signals.

Response from LuyuLiu from ZL Audio on January 1st, 2026

Thanks for the awesome review! It's great to hear that you're finding the splitting modes intuitive and putting the multiple outputs to work. I will fine tune the UI once I finish a new plugin. Stay tuned :).
