Stereo Tool

The final of the finals in the first post, I would advise to use this one instead of v1.4 because the phase delay caused some distortion in the bass and should have been off.

After several weeks of listening and tweaking, no new version but one last update.

Updated preset added for ST 10.30 with adjustments for the new EQ and Clipper.

More Stereo Boost and Delay.

Small adjustments of the Auto EQ and Compressors.

Adjusted Bass intermodulation distortion and Bass/Highs hole punch protection settings, should have less distortion especially in the highs.

Small adjustedments of the Sparkling highs and Open sound settings.

Speech detection, Phase delay and Stereo Reverb are set up but not activated.

Great vocals, 1.5 is definitely the best version yet.

Thank you! just to know do you mean the one for ST 10.30?
Because I personally think the highs are cleaner and the bass a little more/deeper.

Yes, I upgraded and tested version 1.5 on ST 10.30. Earlier preset versions on ST 10.2 always seemed to lack something, but not 1.5.

Yes I thought so too, I will leave the preset like this, only updating it wth major changes in ST and maybe if I have some more time I will make a seperate one with the adaptive AGC/ Compressors.

Yes, the adaptive compressors make huge difference and sound becomes much more "lively". With the latest version I also migrated to the adaptive AGC, but at the default settings I didn't hear any difference - the difference only came from the option to add additional density (Which, to me, sounds great and didn't cause any distortion).

Well done! A nice "hot" preset. Sounds great with 80's hits like Donna Allen - Serious. Too bright with modern music but that can be easily adjusted.

A very late thank you, I haven't been on the forum for a couple of months and last few weeks been busy with a new preset.
