Consider automating Stereo Tool settings over time. For example, you might want to adjust the stereo width or phase correction during different sections of a song.

This is the last line of defense. It prevents the audio from exceeding 0dB (clipping) and raises the overall perceived loudness.

Generates the complex multiplex signal directly from your PC soundcard (including the 19 kHz pilot tone), eliminating the need for an expensive external hardware stereo generator.

This controls how hard you push the band. For internet streaming (low bitrate, 128kbps), use a Drive of 3-4. For FM radio, use 5-6. For high-res streaming (FLAC, 320kbps), use 1-2.

Use Left/Right for standard stereo tracks, or Sum/Difference if you want more control over the stereo field. It prevents the audio from exceeding 0dB (clipping)

The heart of Stereo Tool is its ability to manipulate dynamics, creating a consistent volume level that satisfies listeners.
