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.

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.

“Wider Than Life” mixes
This is an ideal plug-in if you’re looking for a broad, open sounding mix. Just drop it on the stereo master! For songs with vocals, I cut mids from the effect to keep the lead centered.

Magical sound!
