This is a great Maximizer
I have been using the Inflator for a long time but this maximizer seems to sound more transparent and brighter, in my opinion it works better with transients so you can push it a little bit...

The tool you need for your masterbuss
This maximizer will give you a fuller track with the classic in front of face sound. It needs a new GUI

This is a great Maximizer
I have been using the Inflator for a long time but this maximizer seems to sound more transparent and brighter, in my opinion it works better with transients so you can push it a little bit further and have a louder master.

Praktisches Tool
Der Precision Maximizer verleiht dem Mix noch einen gewissen Punch und räumt klanglich noch etwas auf. Sehr praktisches Tool um dem finalen Mix noch das gewisse "Etwas" zu verleihen.

Precision Maximizer
The Precision Maximizer is an incredible tool for mixing and mastering. I’m very impressed with how it works on bringing up and out character in my mixes. UA has proven to be the best in plugins, far exceeding the competition with no latency issues… Thanks!

the one I prefer if I must use it
I don’t like to use tools like this too much. I makes me feel i didn’t do my job well. I never use it in a project on a certain instrument. Only when it comes to pre or stem mastering sometimes it comes in handy. I have one from waves, BX and Oxford but this is my go-to choice. It doesn’t ‘over do’ it’s job. No coloration etc.

Great for maximizing master tracks
Great plugin for maximizing your master track in different ways either transparently or with color / tone. Easy to use, yet with several options as to work for everyone. I use it together with Precision K-Stereo for subtle final polish.

Sounds phenomenal BUT......
I absolutely love the sound of this thing, this is what I use in all of my mastering at the end of the chain. My only problem with it is that it has no option to take care of inter-sample clipping. If you want to master for "hi-def" for iTunes you need to have a limiter that takes care of the inter-sample clipping or it won't be accepted by iTunes. This is a huge problem. This plugin needs that badly. If it had it I would easily give it 5 starts without a second thought, but I've given it 3 due to that. It does however sound incredible. You can really push the hell out of it more than any other plugin that does what it does out there, and it's still completely transparent and doesn't do a thing to your transients. I highly recommend it, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND UA to ADD THE OPTION to get rid of INTER-SAMPLE clipping.

I never usually master my final mixes, but Covid has presented some problems in getting together with a friend who does it normally. He has Ozone and Slate plugins so I think I'll compare his last masters with the PM and see what the difference is between them. I liked the sound of the plugin but I noticed I needed to boost the input by 5 or 6 dB to match my mastered recordings.

Another great option to make my mixes the best they can be !
The precision maximizer a great tool that helps me deliver the absolute best mixes possible to my clients .. it is very musical and adds a polished texture to all of my mixes. A great addition and a must have ! Daniel Cinelli - Mixing Engineer - planet studios, Montreal, Canada.
