Precision De-Esser
-
A specialized tool for transparent de-essing and high-end control.
The Precision De-Esser plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces 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 enough sophisticated, yet transparent filter processing to fix vocals, drum overheads, or hi-hats.
Easily de-ess vocals and tame high-end problems on your sources
Use Split mode to minimize darkening and lisping
Choose between Modern band-pass or traditional high-pass de-essing
Isolate and monitor the target sibilant frequencies with Solo mode
“My vocal chain is an LA-2A, SSL E Series Channel Strip, an 1176LN, and a Precision De-Esser. They're amazing plug-ins.”

I use this on all my vocal tracks - with the exception of Hawaiian language vocals as there is no "s." ;) I just use the default setting with a high-pass de-esser and adjust the threshold. It's that easy!

Overall, it's a quick, easy fix, but is hard to dial in at times.
It's a great plugin, but be sure to take your time and find the exact sweet spot / sweet ratio between the bandwidth and the threshold. I owned this plugin for a very long time but wasn't able to get decent sounds out of until I discovered the careful balancing act between the threshold and bandwidth. Now I love the plugin. It's a very quick solution to a common sibilance problem. I feel like even at the sweet spot, however, it darkens the tracks a bit much. Use it along with UAD Precision Enhancer kHz and you have a winning combo.

Tame the harsh essesssss
Quickly gets the job done in most cases. Light on dsp. Nice to have!
A. Bennett
Excellent
Excellent product. My favorite De-Esser!

The tool that is being used
When tracking vocals it sits there on my console app shaving those sibilance that later on in post is much easier to focus on overall structure of the vocals sitting in the mix. Good plugin, does its job, if you push it hard don't expect any transparency from it, find your threshold and balance it out.
A. Ayer
All but inaudible
Great job UA. Easy use. Super low dsp. Best of all aside from de-essing, nothing can be heard. Even at larger amounts of compression it is still smooth.
A. Pasco
Amazing tool
UAD doesn’t disappoint

I'D GIVE IT 10 STARS!
THIS DE-ESSER IS AMAZING! I'D GIVE IT 10 STARS IF I COULD. REALLY SMOOTH AND TRANSPARENT DYNAMIC PROCESSOR, I LEAVE IT IN MY RECORDING CHAIN RIGHT AFTER MY UNISON PREAMP. REALLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Live vocals/streaming must have!
This de-esser is FANTASTIC! It sounds very natural and precise. I use it for live vocals when streaming and it works flawlessly due to low latency and low DSP.
PLEASE! UAD update the user interface (all Precision Series). The knobs and buttons are too small and the text is very hard to read!
