Post subject:  Matt's Warm Open Presets
For those of you that visited the ST booth at NAB and like the WarmOpen preset that I built for our market here in Ohio, here are 2 version of that preset, one for streaming and HD radio, and one for US FM. The goal with these presets was to have a very warm analog sound with thick low end, mids and highs that are easy on the ears, but still some sparkle at the top end. Also wanted song to song consistency with any input material, hence the 3 band AGC, but still wanted a nice open sound that sound consistent but very musical which required very low ratios on the MB. Note that the Declipper is crucial in the preset as it really helps to add to the open sound of the preset.

I especially recommend testing your presets with this song.

AGC section is very nice. With slight modifications I will put it into my preset - BusyBox. Thnx!

That song......
So, I played it for my kids, and of course they like it. So now it will forever be stuck in my head!

Have been using a slightly modified version of your preset and am rather happy with the sound.
Thanks for posting!

Nice preset, Matt! Using it (with tweaks of course) on my Internet station and it sounds great. Many thanks!
