If you want to emulate a FM broadcast multiband processing you can take a look to the internal audio path of a typical broadcast multiband audio processor like the
Orban Optimod 8500
It's very important to consider the preemphasis equalization (75 or 50 uS) applied to the signal during TX because it raises (6 dB/octave) the HF level from 2-3 khz to 15 khz before the final compression and clipping.
You should try these SW too
