Stereo Tool

First of all, some food for thought on how this was created :

- I used the first multiband to bring all the bands to a comparable level (this is made according to my ear and audio gear, and may vary from person to person's tastes and setups)
- I used a second, fewer band compressor to "blend in" the levels
- Used a final clipper to "trim" any peaks

This preset is not that flat, it's actually punchy. Works OK on my stereocoder, directly from the soundcard.
I used a lot of new functions from 7.7 like the two multibands, release gating and release inertia to make the compressors' gain more stable.

Tweakable stuff :
- AGC > You can turn matrix mode on/off according to your taste
- Final Singleband can be turned off for cleaner sound
- In final Singleband try to play with Release Inertia and Continuous Release to adjust something which could innacurately be called a "musical duty cycle".
At least, that's the best definition i came up with. Rapid release makes the sound "more packed" as opposed to slower release which keeps the sound cleaner.
- Levels in MultiBand 2
- Final output level can be adjusted to -1dB - this helps prevent unwanted clipping done in the soundcard
- Hard Limit output can be disabled if one does not really need it
- First Multiband (classic multiband) has an option Limit <> Compress. It's set to "Compress 100%", but try and slide it towards Limit and see how you like it.
The highs will more "packed" (less dynamics) when you slide to "Limit".

Bonuses : Does not make use of any of the registered version's functions

Let me know how you like this one.

Version 1 - Original Version (punchy) And... due to pupular demand, Version 1.2 - Newer Version (less punchy and very compressed sound) - still freeeware

hello grasul thanks for the help and it does sound alot better now on what you said in your message

Yes.... there's also a matter of taste that needs to be taken into consideration

Wow very clean sound indeed. Thank you for this preset, so amazing.

Will you update this for version 7.72?

Wow... never got that kind of feedback before. Thanks ! Well, i just looked over the changelist... no need to update the preset as it's not using any of the features
that changed in 7.72

Excellent on the CZE-7C, fixed all the audio output problems from this cheap transmitter. Stereo separation is incredible, just had to disable pre-emphasis in Stereo Tool. Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments. Glad it works good.

I am now using these settings with my ST-15B transmitter. It sound amazing. Very clear, crisp and detailed. I activated the advanced clipper with +3dB to get a louder sound without overloading the transmitter, but everything else was fine.

I can live with a 3 second promo every 12 hours

Thanks for the feedback.
I worked a lot on balancing the preset... so that if you enable / disable an effect, it will work out-of-the-box.
I started noticing that a lot of presets sent were unbalanced... for example if i disabled advanced clipped or singleband, the signal would shoot out the meters )

So, feel free to tweak it some more so that it suits your ears betters )
