Stereo Tool

Its been a long time testing,tweaking,listening.
A new version using less modules resulting low cpu usage.Totally reconfigured
EQ and MB Compression sections.
Strongly advised to use about 80-90% of maximum of input gain in
order to avoid excessive output clipping.
I have to state and give credit to HVZ as i was initially based and inspired by
his adaptive bass monster presets to create this one.

Hope you enjoy it! Always welcome for your feedback and comments

Ver 3.1 13-12-2025
Changes
Added AGC due to loudness compensation inconsistencies on different audio file formats.
Added Natural Dynamics
Resource usage/Audio Quality is set to 150%. Change this if you are experiencing high cpu load.
Various EQ and compression changes.

No AGC?

Thats.... different!

Well i can tell the adaptive compressor is doing loudness compensation extremely well, even without AGC.

nope, only in case when ratios are inf:1, wich are not.

Thanks for your feedback and recommendations!
Have you try to decrease input volume from the source? I have made a quick test in my audio player and found that if i decrease the volume 50% on the player, stereo tool output level decreases only 1.5dB in this preset. Whitch is not bad imho. No pre processing in gain control on the audio player used.I think that on adaptive MB compressor, even if the initial ratios are fixed and not inf, with progressive ratios box checked and max ratios to inf,as they are in this preset, results ST output loudness compensation.

Never mind, got it to work
