Press Release Skeleton

Kirin Mastering Releases Kirin OS 1.0, Connecting Song Information from Measurement to Release and Live Performance

Kirin Mastering announces Kirin OS 1.0, officially released on July 22, 2026.

Kirin OS 1.0 includes every measurement feature in Kirin Sense and works with measurement data received from Kirin Hypha. It measures loudness, True Peak, phase, and dynamics, plays detected noise locations, compares the frequency overlap between two selected audio files, and shows the changes Hypha recorded before and after processing.

Users can keep songs they make in Works and organize songs and Albums they listen to in Catalog. Versions, related files, and release information stay with each Work; READ results, tags, credits, and genres can stay with items on Catalog shelves. For live-show preparation, performers and venues can exchange information as HTML. Compatible external clients can also read and organize local records and request updates to allowed fields for user review. Kirin OS does not alter audio.

Kirin Hypha is available for free. Kirin Sense is $39 and Kirin OS is $297, each a one-time purchase. After purchase verification, Sense owners can request a one-time OS upgrade code for $258.

Products and Pricing

Kirin Hypha, Kirin Sense, and Kirin OS

Kirin Hypha measures audio inside a DAW. Kirin Sense measures audio files directly. Kirin OS keeps those measurements together with the song's production, release, and live-show information.

Product	What it does	Price
Kirin Hypha	Shows loudness and peak changes before and after plug-in processing inside a DAW. The measurements can be opened in Kirin OS.	Free
Kirin Sense	READ shows loudness, True Peak, phase, dynamics, and other measurements. INSPECT plays back detected hiss and clicks at their exact positions. MASKING compares the time and frequency regions where two selected audio files overlap.	$39
Kirin OS	Includes every measurement feature in Kirin Sense and receives PRE and POST measurements recorded by Kirin Hypha. TRACE follows those changes across the full song.

Songs being made stay in Works, with Versions, credits, notes, related files, and release information kept with each Work. Catalog keeps songs and Albums heard as a listener on Collection shelves, together with READ results, tags, credits, and genres. STAGE exchanges live-show information between performers and venues as HTML. Through MCP, compatible clients can read and organize local records and request changes to permitted fields.
