Fantastic Tool. A keeper from the first time I applied it.
When I moved over to Pro Tools 11, I no longer had access to some of the mastering limiters I was using in 10, so I tried this guy out to see if it would do the job and bring everything...

The best plugin
One of the best plugins. Gives a shine to individual instruments and joint and solves the problem in mastering. I was really impressed with the quality of this plugin. Worth buying!

Fantastic Tool. A keeper from the first time I applied it.
When I moved over to Pro Tools 11, I no longer had access to some of the mastering limiters I was using in 10, so I tried this guy out to see if it would do the job and bring everything together for me in a way that sounded musical and powerful . . . . It's just glorious.
I've used this in the last few days on a totally brutal thrash metal band and also for a bluegrass acoustic song (or three) and it dazzled in each case.
The only problem that I have with any of the UAD plug-ins I have purchased is that I would be totally lost and heartbroken if I didn't have access to them anymore. If there's better software out there, I have never heard of it.J. Carmo

Precision Maximizer
The Precision Maximizer is a fantastic plug-in and has become my go-to for both mastering and mixing applications. Like all UAD plugs, the sonic character is superb. While versatile, it is also intuitive to use and smoother and warmer sounding in side by side comparisons with similar products. A valuable and worthy addition to my growing arsenal of UAD plug-ins.

Perfect live tool (and studio 2)
I use the Maximizer in combination with Precision Multiband Plug-In and the Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In on the Apollo Twin Dual in the live set up. In this way my output is ready 2 go!! A soundcheck is only a matter of gain in the FOH console.
In the studio I use the Maximizer also on individual instruments.
TIP: don't over do it and the result is perfect!J. Torrence
It seems too easy...
I tried this demo when it first came out and thought it was mediocre. In hindsight, I was pushing it way too hard, because on second listen, it's pretty fantastic. For the program material I was using, I found that I needed to keep the Mix level around 60%. Good stuff; just adds that "something."

Finally it's very easy to use.

It's better than sonnax!
It really make the track bigger without noticeable damage to it.I love it when I used it on my drum bus.

a useful quick facility
very useful to maximize the RMS/UFS of the final mix especially for folk music. Very transparent effect. SImple application for a good ear.

Loud, smooth, round and punchy!
This plugin is awesome! it will enhance the harmonics of your mix and definitely bring it to the next level by a lot! If you can crank it or keep it discrete, it will make your whole mix sound better.

Besser als Inflator
...aber auch etwas anders. Besitze beide. Am Besten fährt man tatsächlich meistens, wenn man von beiden nur maximal die "Hälfte" des Möglichen dazugibt.
