.....our ...human ears .....unfortunately CAN GET USED TO A SOUND PROCESSING PRESET or LOUNDESS LEVEL ..and this is realy realy bad and MAKES US UNABLE TO compete or improve the ....end of tweaking on sound presets.
So . 2 things:
Comparison to other presets by switching back and forth
AND
Loudnesssssssss meteeeeer
...and .....good reference speakers ...or headphones
.....and ....a good concentration on dynamics of a sound
NO MORE AUDIBLE COMPRESSORS !!
( if you are making a preset begin by ...bypassing allllll stages ! start from decliper ...natural dynamics AAAAGGGGGGCCCCCCCC ...compressors ....and continue to ...open doors stage by stage
p.s.
STEREOTOOL and all other sound processing apps ARE USELESS W I T H O U T GOOD F M PRESETS.
FM needs dynamics , deep bass with good limiting or inteligent clipping and loudnessssss
