Stereo Tool

If you could send me one of those recordings where the highs go down too much, I'll take a look to see if moving phase rotation could help. But I would really prefer not moving it.

BTW: There's still a Multiband redesign planned, the new Multiband should act on RMS level instead of peak level, and that would fix this issue completely.

Ok, beta110
Here is Bass boost ON with 200-300Hz and Band pass ON with 0-300Hz.
I have this...

15sec 1024 Latency and 15sec 4096 Latency

On average, loud audio comes out 0.3 dB louder at 100%. But there's clearly more distortion, so you probably don't want to set it much higher than 10%, and 0% is usually the best unless you are in an extremely competitive market (with regard to audio level) or you _want_ (?) the extra distortion.

Moving the HPF before Multiband makes the filter much weaker and increases artifacts. Say there's a tone at 30 Hz, and the HPF is configured to filter at 35 Hz. Then the 30 Hz tone will be reduced by - say - 4 dB. And there will be artifacts. Next, Multiband will increase the 30 Hz tone again so in effect nothing happened - except that the artifacts are still there. On top of that, Multiband and Bass Boost can cause new low frequency signals that won't be removed if the HPF filtering is done before it. (I just discovered this, see my response to eldoradofm).

The way I understand things is if you take the NON-Phase Linear HPF, it is before Multiband, but the Phase Linear HPF is after Multiband. Is this correct?

Yes, sorry that must have been very unclear indeed.

Bojcha, are you sure that you've tested with BETA110? With older BETA's I hear those bad effects, but in 110 they are gone, also if I use your file + preset...
