Hello!
For almost the past year I've been working on what I call my "Signature" presets. They use a 2-band AGC, a 5-band limiter with knee, and some other stuff. I'm really happy with how these presets sound, and I figured this community would appreciate them.
Description:
- MSX: Relaxed - Preserves dynamic range while remaining competitively loud. Ideal for softer formats and public/community stations.
- MSX: General - Punchy and consistent while being clean and pleasant to listen to. Works great for almost everything.
- MSX: Classics - Good for when all you want is density and reverb. Best for energetic Classic Hits and Adult Hits formats.
- MSX: Impact - Bass with force. Best for alternative and hip-hop/rap, also good for Top 40.
Notes:
- These presets work best with -18 LUFS ReplayGain normalized sources.
- I made these presets for North American 75us FM, with a loudness target around -6 LUFS de-emphasized. This seems to be how loud the stations in my area are.
- These presets were made with Stereo Tool 10.72.
Usage:
- These presets are free to use if you run one station (internet, LPFM, FM, AM, Digital).
- If you run 2 or more stations, please e-mail me at
radio@msx.gay.
- You may re-distribute these presets as long as you link back to this thread or my website (
