Good review . I'm a film rerecording mixer ( 35 years experience ) . I recently used the plug in version for 2 weeks on a PT mix at the suggestion of the FX mixer on a low budget film . I didn't really like it very much , it just didn't ' fit ' for me . Of course it's a very high quality , serious and well designed plugin . I found the de - esser to be transparent and good . Maybe because I'm accustomed to the Neve DFC , which of course has a different feel and sound . Again , the Harrison plugin is very high quality , just talking about my personal taste .
