Here's an update
MB1 Band 7 slightly increased attack, increased Density to+7.65
lowered threshold t -16.83 and mix is +3.8db, feedback is now at 81%
MB2 Band 4 changed density to +2.76, threshold is now at -18.06, Relative stop is now off, Mix is at +4.13 and ratio of 2.5
Auto Eq band 5 increased strength to 75%
and Azimuth change speed from 0.50um/s to 0.63um/s
I hope this yields better results.
I gave it a go for a few tapes just now, but realized I was a few versions ahead allready myself, so I inserted your mb1+mb2 settings onto my preset and changed the azimuth and autoeq %.
The +4dB on the 4th band in mb2 was a bit fatiguing on good tapes and a bit hissy on the bad with generations of Dolby C, so I took it down a notch. Otherwise it was an improvement
As you can hear I changed the density a good bit overall because the bass was lacking on the low energy tapes, and now I also kicked the drive of the bassclipper up by 1,5dB, so now there's a pleasant soft skate-ramp feel to the spectra and my subwoofer is doing some work on all the tapes. I still have to try it out on many locations to be sure, but I'm quite pleased with the width of damage this preset can swallow and still sound OK.
Added my latest fiddle right here: (The naming of this is beginning to get humorous
)
Edit: Not sure about the 75% on the autoeq after all, it can up 18dB of treble...that is a LOT, and I'm also using a Fabfilter ProMB right before Stereotool to expand the lowest sub and highest treble so that if there is no sound below a threshold they are lowered by 30dB, with a very soft attack and release. Stereotool is really missing such a function for bad sources. The multiband noisegate is too limited for this.
Also noticed that the Advanced limiter was working hard sometimes, so i turned on oversampling just to be sure no uglyness leaks through.
