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 Attachment:
File comment: This is a more dense version, with stereo expander.
