Stereo Tool

Hello everyone,

I would like to get some feedback on my **LOOM Radio V3.33 preset**.

I am not an audio or broadcast professional, just a long-time radio and sound enthusiast currently working on a personal web radio project called **LOOM Radio**.

This project is also a way for me to prepare an enjoyable retirement adventure around two lifelong passions: radio and sound.

My goal is to create an immersive, textured and elegant sound, with good precision, a wide but natural stereo image, and comfortable long-term listening. I am aiming for a dense yet lively sound, detailed, enveloping and non-fatiguing, with a pleasant texture and a natural sense of depth.

One unusual aspect of this project is that all the tuning work has been carried out deliberately using inexpensive TRUST multimedia speakers. My intention was to achieve a pleasing sound even on modest consumer playback systems, without relying on professional studio monitors.

At this stage, I am generally happy with the result, but I still feel that it could be slightly smoother, especially on certain vocals or busy musical passages.

If anyone has time to listen to the preset and suggest possible improvements or settings adjustments, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you in advance for your time and for any suggestions you may have.

I'll be completely honest.. its really hard to listen to

You are squashing the life out of the audio.. it is fricken LOUD thou.

Hi Dale,

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my preset and for your honest feedback. I genuinely appreciate it, even when it's critical.

I'm just a passionate hobbyist and completely self-taught when it comes to audio processing, so I'm still learning and trying to improve this preset step by step.

If you have more specific advice about what sounds over-processed to you (compression, clipping, density, loudness, etc.), I would be very interested to hear it.

And if you would be willing to make adjustments to the preset yourself, or suggest settings that you think would work better, I would be more than happy to try them and compare the results with my current version.

I'm genuinely looking for constructive feedback and ideas to make it sound more natural and easier to listen to.

Thanks again for your help!
