Stereo Tool 7.43 - Help - Noise removal. Removes background noise, including 16-bit quantization noise. The noise gate removes background noise, which is mainly useful for older recordings. But even for recent CD's it helps to let it work very gently, because quantization noise (the number of bits on a CD is not infinite) can be increased a lot by processing which makes music sound harsh. Gentle Total noise level. And Noise gate level per band. General Noise Gate settings. Turns the Noise Gate on. A lowe...

Stereo Tool 7.43 Help: AGC
http://help.stereotool.com/7.60/agc.shtml
Stereo Tool 7.43 - Help - AGC. The AGC filter attempts to make the audio level constant, without causing noticeable changes in the sound. If does so by - if possible very gradually - increasing and decreasing the audio level. If sudden spikes are present, it can remove those spikes without lowering the output level too much, to avoid pumping and similar annoying effects. The AGC never increases the incoming audio level, it only decreases it if it gets too loud. Use Pre amplifier. AGC Target output level.

Stereo Tool 7.43 Help: Multiband Compressor
http://help.stereotool.com/7.60/multiband_compressor.shtml
Stereo Tool 7.43 - Help - Multiband Compressor. Reduces the dynamic range of the audio and limits it, using a configurable number of bands. Volume compression (A.K.A. audio level compression) reduces the dynamic range of a sound. This means that loud sounds become softer, and soft sounds become louder. Limiting limits the maximum audio level below a certain threshold. For a lengthy discussion about compression, see Wikipedia: Audio level compression. Turns the compressor/limiter on. It is generally a goo...
