Stereo Tool

This is by far my favorite adaptive preset (got it a while ago so im on 2.0). I'm listening a lot of music on it lately and I'm super impressed with what you got there! Just wanted to hop in and say good job mate!

So since many of you agree that V2.0 is the best so far i decided an update based on v2.0.
Many thanks for the nice comments. So what is changed in V.2.3

-Lower AGC input to keep loudness balance between processing sections
-Output is set to -7 lufs
-Slightly denser compression settings in mb section
-More crisp but controllable (i hope ) high frequencies
-More flat responce in midrange section

Remember to keep output around 80% of max level on your playback software.

Hope you like it.Always nice to have your comments and feedback

These settings mids and highs are about 35% to high and the volume is about 4 to 5 db to loud

I will say it is not bad just a little to much IMO and to much to run on my internet radio station Phat Beats Radio I run Gap SoundReturn V4 it sounds the best IMO

I'm also happy with this version. Well done.

This preset is incredible, we agree ! like the others, you can listen here the V- 2.3 file on our station https://tunein.com/radio/Road-FM-s300420/

I have returned to Version 2.0. Some of these changes resulted in a slightly darker sound.

I was wrong, though. Just based on one song it seemed to me that the sound on 2.3 was somewhat darker.

Hi just finished a new preset using st 10.30 new clipper.
Also made some tweaks to AGC and mb compressor (Adaptive)
The first impression is that sound is denser and more detailed
I also tweaked the eq to add more high end sparkle and louder mids for testing purposes.
Let me know about your feedback on this one.Always good to have your comments
and recommendations

I have not tried tyour presets yet.

I am using the basic version of ST 10

Does your preset involve features that are not included in the BASIC (no addons) ?

Also, what you think of the sound https://onlineradiobox.com/us/bfm/?cs=us.bfm&played=1
so far? I took some preset that sounded to me ok in terms of Host voices + music. All seems quite balanced
But AGC does not whow activity at all. The input is to the top... drive +8 Do not know

thx

I attached my preset, so far all within my basic license (no red warnings). Perhaps you could suggest something. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you.

Hi. Regarding my V 2 presets they are using adaptive settings in mb,wb compressor & agc section used from st 10.21 an onwards and i assume thats why the agc is not working.
Imho the +8 drive in input is too agressive and it might cause distortion during processing.i would recommend 0 gain in st input and about 80% volume on source player and let agc do the rest.

I have listened to the stream you mentioned and it sounds loud and balanced,some audio artifacts though but i can't understand if there is something to do with proceeding or the music source material.

If you wish to listen my older presets there is a thread https://www.forums.stereotool.com/viewt ... 10&t=33695 for older st versions (v9.92 &10.10) I also have https://zeno.fm/radio/ianthos-radio/ stream where i test the latest (currently v2.5 beta in st 10.30)
