I can't seem to quit fiddling back and forth with the settings; this is what I'm using today, tomorrow could be different...
The main thing I'm messing with these days in the gain input. Sometimes I feel it's too dense, other times I don't feel like I'm getting the "busy" sound I'm looking for.
(PLEASE keep in mind: I am not trying to get the "best" sound from Stereo Tool; I am trying to re-create the feeling of listening to a top 40 / pop radio station in the United States in the 1980s. They would have been using analog processors, and often pushing them VERY hard either to "compete" in loudness wars in their market, or to satisfy their program director who may have grown up with the "blowtorch" processing of the 1960s AM stations.)
I hope someone finds this useful, as a starting point if nothing else! I'm sure the settings will be different in month.
