Stereo Tool

Gedday everyone,

I wish to introduce "Classic Dreams" to Stereo Tool pro users!

This profile is to emulate the old school sound from 80's generation audio processors, with the Optimod 8400 used as the comparison in the original design. It does however take advantage of the Declipper and Lossifier, along with Auto EQ which of course does modernise and correct some of the horrors of the that era.

Classic Dreams is designed for constant background listening with reliable levels, with this version specifically focused on Streaming, although FM is possible when enabled. Classic Dreams will not tire the listener, but instead keep the listener interested in a regular beat of the music. Attempts were made to try to keep the original authors music sounding the same, with native dynamics of the music with just a little assistance added.

Of course, being old school, its not as loud as with modern profiles. However for Streaming, DAB or HD purposes, its ideal for Easy Listening.

Here is a possible FM version with loudness to compete old school.

Personally I prefer the my dynamic Stream version, however feedback is that I need both published
