Get Specialized with Transparent De-essing and High-end Control

The Precision De-Esser plug-in lets you easily remove unwanted sibilance and high-end problems from individual audio tracks or even mixes. With smart, easy-to-use controls, Precision De-Esser has sophisticated, yet transparent filter processing to fix vocals, drum overheads, or hi-hats.

What They Say

I use the Universal Audio Precision De-Esser in preference to any outboard de-esser.
