Hello kastyak_, I'm not fullly following what you're writing. So can you explain?

Hello Hans, I like the aggressive work of the Advanced Clipper in BETA 042 there are more adjustment ranges, what I like is of course most people do not like the work of limiters and sharp bursts of sound. But still, I like the old modes of operation (Non Adaptive Mode).
Since you mention Adaptive, are you talking about the clipper or the compressors? I assume you mean you're using Adaptive compressor mode with specific clipper values?

I use MB1 as a multiband compressor, MB2 as a multiband limiter.
Ok, clear. That's how most old-compressor presets work.
[quotepSome modes, such as the overload effect, give a special sound in styles (Metal, DarkWave, EBM, etc.).[/quote]
What do you mean by "overload effect"? Clipping way too hard??

Sparkling high ones require setting the "offset" parameters and higher frequencies and intensity, I change every time after the new release of a new BETA, which is very useful sometimes. in BETA045 ADBP, the intensity mode of the cutoff and slope of frequencies has disappeared.
The offset parameter made the frequency *lower*, not higher. So are you saying that you liked the sound that you go when you lowered that frequency? I can kinda imagne that it would add some form of distortion to metal indeed. Usually that sounds pretty bad though (kinda broken).
The main reason for "Highs billiance" was to let more highs get through (and make them sound different; looking at the spectrum, values > 2 seem to have no impact on the spectrum anymore, the loudness stays the same and the spectral content doesn't change either. Which is why I figured that the old range was waaaaaay too big - and high values do cause some (really annoying, imo) effect in the highs.

Level control in Advanced Clipper is necessary for both RMS and PEAK (maybe even adjustment) so that you can keep the signal level if suddenly the frequencies slipped to lower either high, medium or low (according to the ADBP setting).
I don't know what you're saying. The Advanced Clipper doesn't do anything with RMS, and what do you mean by slipping frequencies?

And I also want to note that it is better not to remove some settings so that users can choose the operating modes. That's why I'm not switching to BETA045
The main complaint about Stereo Tool is that there are way too many settings. In this specific case, we checked all these settings and removed anything that was making the sound worse. I can imagine that someone could like some specific effect, but there were lots of settings in the composite clipper that did very little or only had negative effects, and I really don't want to keep those, except in Legacy mode.
Please let me know *exactly* what you are using and why, then I can have a look at it.
