It gives all of my vocals a noticeably warmer output, which is something that I’ve never considered   experienced with any other DeEsser. I sometimes even throw it on the master bus together with ChannelStrip 3 to clear out anything edgy   grating. ChannelStrip 3 comes first with an overall high-end boost, followed by Precision DeEsser to give a crisp, but warm, sound to the overall mix.”Mix Engineer Billy Decker says, “I use Metric Halo’s Precision DeEsser plug-in to do the de-essing; actually, I use two instances. One for traditional de-essing   the second for what I call `de-honking.` Using so much compression brings a lot of junk to the surface, including the nasty nasal sound that pretty much every voice has between 1.5kHz   2kHz. By setting the second Precision DeEsser to that frequency, everything smooths out   sounds much nicer. I`ve used a lot of de-esser plug-ins, but I find that Metric Halo’s version is noticeably smoother   more transparent. Where other plug-ins can sound grainy   degrade the signal, Precision DeEsser is colorless   pleasant.”Try it today — You’ll love it!Is MH Precision DeEsser for you?Engineers/Producers/Remixers- Rely on the best sound quality available with Metric Halo’s award-winning DSP.- Tame those stubborn sibilant sounds.- Manage high-end dynamics for overheads   guitars.- Use the listen modes for special linear phase EQ effects.- Get quick results with the many provided Metric Halo presets.- Get inspired!Vocal Artists- Tune Precision DeEsser to your specific vocal character   never worry about sibilance again.- Tame sibilance without affecting the timbre of your voice.Sound Designers- Remove   isolate a specific frequency band.- Precisely adjust dynamics in a specific band.- Generate extremely steep linear-phase filtering.Tech SpecsSystem Requirements- Mac: Mac OS X 10.6.8   newer.
