This one is almost entirely made from scratch and aimed at making everything sound as open and rich as possible, avoiding any squashing. For people who like dense audio, especially for those who don't use expensive equipment. Also if you use mixed sources with very low or very high quality, this preset should do a great job at restoring low quality music without boosting anything while using good quality sources.

Final Version with 3-band AGC, which seems to be the most balanced option without adding too much treble. Also tons of further improvements on multiband compressor, intermodulation distortion протецтион and LLB. I also disabled the wideband compressor and Natural Dynamics as I found they were causing problems with vocals in certain songs.

Vocals should sound warmer, smoother and more natural now, and trebles should be less harsh on treble-heavy songs. Both should be more consistent. It will also use less CPU resources.

OK, got some feedback on what needed to be improved, It is now using the old wideband compressor and the sound should be more balanced and consistent, without any damage to vocals. :)

A denser version with a few more tweaks applied. It now uses the modern wideband compressor.

Last version. Changed a few more things to make it sound more balanced and natural. :) This is the version I'll be using as a permanent preset.

Hello,

how many decibels should the music have before the stereo tool processes this preset?

Why in the silent parts of the songs does the volume increase extremely?

what would be the reason?

or how many -db should I consider in the stereo tool input so that this does not happen?

It all depends on who likes it, from taste to taste and style of songs. Let's say that it suits me exactly that every song is brought to the same level due to hearing damage, so when I have headphones on, it can't happen if something quiet starts to suddenly start playing loudly and so of course it's too loud for me, so then I have to turn down the volume. The only thing that is not bad is that you may notice that the songs start quietly at the beginning and after maybe 3 or 4 seconds the song evens out to a balanced level. Dumans and Bojcha did this.
