This is a pure game changer for independent artist!
I saw the review for this on the UAD channel, so I got the demo to try out on my new Ep I'm working on, this is that "thang". This is really a game changing piece of gear. Put it on your master bus and baby your life will change! Universal Audio does a phenomenal job at creating these plug-ins, this is beyond incredible. As an independent artist, I encourage all of my peers working to get your sound as close to a pro studio sound, to get this plug-in or at least demo it, you can thank me later. You will hear instantly how this thing makes the track bigger, not louder...bigger, warmer, cleaner, fuller and more polished. It's that "Thang."

A Quick Way to Add Ambience
This plugin is very good in that it cleanly provides presence and ambience without adding phase artifacts (at least I can't hear any). It adds an audible 3D sound field to an otherwise flat 2D-sounding image. It's hard to describe, but you can hear it when you put this on your master bus. Highly recommended.

The All-Around Plug-in!
This plug-in provides a depth in the stereo field which is very helpful for me as a vocalist because it helps with sitting vocals right upfront in the middle of the mix. I stumbled on this plug-in by accident and I'm so happy I did. This plug-in is a must have for engineers and producers.

software instruments? fear not...
Adds a lovely sense of depth which helps to make something digital sound like it's been recorded in a room - I like

After hearing you can't go without it
I've had this plug-in sitting on my wish list for the longest time and now I finally purchased. I added it to the stereo bus and tweaked the controls a bit and WOW! It added so much width and balance to the recording. I turned it off to compare without it and was blown away by the difference. I would absolutely recommend adding Precision-K Stereo to your plug-in library.

Subtle Magic Dust
Great plugin for carving out a little sonic space in the mid or side of a stereo bus, i.e. guitars. Also, a nice touch to restore a bit of the natural room sound from a drum kit recording. I wouldn't use it on everything, but I've found that both these use cases sound great and are complementary to one another.
