Ear Honey!
I appreciate lots of UAD plugins - but this one's a jaw-dropper! It transforms tracks from my project studio, or recorded on locations, to sounding like they were made in great rooms. I particularly love what it can do with a group of voices, adding presence, resonance, depth and integration. I don't think this one can be topped for the dramatic improvement it brings to a mix.
Many thanks!

Sample Enhancement
In this modern digital age of sampling, it is often the clinical sounds of the samples of instruments that you can quite often say that they are too raw and more often than I would like to admit the synthesized versions sometimes have the edge... However with this plug in all of my very expensive libraries have taken on a new dimension, to the point clients are bemused at how I am able to get such resources of musicians for their recordings, of course that is not the case... Using the Mic settings and the natural ambience of the studios really enhances the samples and certainly give a quality of resonance to the recordings having been processed through this plugin... This is by far a plugin that I reach for every time... I could write more!!

Very special plugins
Gives presences and depth to anything you put on especially drums,bass gtr , acoustic gtr, lead vox and percussion. Just spend little time with it and you will happy you got it.

My "every session" plug-in
Wow. I don't know what is going on in there, and I probably don't want to. I haven't been to Ocean Way, though I *have* driven past it! I'm 100% confident that the sound of a recording of me driving put through this plugin sounds exactly like it did when I drove by (Ask Alan Sides) LOL. Seriously though, I love this plug-in, and I'm still exploring the many options that it has. I'm really glad that it is flexible enough to noodle with but also has great presets. I've heard a lot of people describe it as great "glue" plug-in, and I agree. It kind of gives you that opportunity to put everything in the same space in a really natural sounding (to me) way. This plug-in is to software what the SPL Transient Designer was to hardware - pure magic.

You won't sound dry anymore
Well, when I saw this plugin come out, I was a bit surprised ; How did this work, is this worth it ?
Damn... It's one of my favourite plugins of all time ! This is just incredible, it adds so much character in all of your tracks. My drumkit won't sounds dry anymore, and that's not the better thing of it : We've got the sound of Ocean Way Studio.
This is really cool on virtual synths, it remove the "digital/robotic" charisma for a more realistic sounding track.
The only downside that I can think about is the CPU charge. 1 instance per core, with my Octo, 8 instances max. It's not because I want more, it's because when you use it, you don't have much more for the others plugins. That's a shame. But not enough to cost one star though !

Indispensable
After demo-ing this plugin many times, I was finally able to purchase it on sale. It is indispensable for my workflow. I mix a lot of drums that are recorded in a small, dead room, and this brings them to life. Other IR reverbs can come close to certain sounds, but they have never been nearly as easy to use as Ocean Way and with the different mics and other features Ocean Way goes above and beyond. A unique plugin that makes getting great room sounds fun and intuitive.

Room magic and much much more...
I think we're all saying the same thing about this plugin. It's WAY more than just a room simulator or reverb. This thing is pure magic.

Absolutely amazing!
Seriously upped my mixes. Took it to the next level. It's perfect for anyone who doesn't have a great sounding room. I'll run it straight across the board, drums,geet,vox,keys.Been wanting this plug for a while. Glad to have it in my arsenal. UAD's are the best around. Nothing comes close. Turned quite a bit people on to UAD. Keep em coming!

ESSENTIAL for home and project studios
If you have a home, project, or mobile studio this plug-in is LIFE-CHANGING. You can finally just damp the s*** out of bad rooms, focus solely on mic placement relative to the source, record everything DRY, DRY, DRY, and still get a living, breathing, spatial recording.
These rooms sound so amazing I have all but stopped using reverb. The big, choral rooms with mid and far mics pumped are great, but it is the subtle, small stuff that really adds up: the amp corridor; a mid mic on a medium room for solo vocal; a hint of far mic on brass sections.
Also, if you use a lot of virtual instruments STOP READING THIS and buy the plug-in now. It can stop you sounding like a corny fool IMMEDIATELY

Ocean Way Studio Plug-in
This one took me a little getting use to but once I fully understood the concept behind it who would think that you can sing or play and place yourself inside one of these famous studio's the more I play with it the more it blows my mind

Ocean Way - Best Way
This is spectacular plug-in. It sounds great and the interface is more then user friendly.
Can be used on almost every track of any kind of music!
The large and expensive sound!

Makes the home studio sound like a Million $$$
I had considering sticking Ocean Way in my Cart for the longest time, I always passed. I thought all my existing "reverbs" were plenty, and whatever acoustic space I wanted to emulate, I would simply be able to do it. That was before.
That changed recently. I decided to finally take the plunge on this plugin.
Having a home studio with really "dry" or "small" acoustics, this plugin is a godsend. Used as a reverb or as a re-mic, those dry-ish "home studio" raw tracks end up sounding like they were recorded in a true multimillion dollar space. Especially for drums! Holy crap. These faux acoustics are truly REAL sounding. Amazing. Sounds very very "expensive". Changed everything. Part of my workflow forever now...

Complex and very powerful
This plugin can do things for drums that I've never heard from anything else. Complex, detailed and capable of enormous sonic breadth. A remarkable plugin. The re-micing feature is stunning.

Simply amazing
It just can't get much better than this. It it simply amazing. I love it for the rooms, for the microphone selection and -yes- the presets. Just go with them and you're all set. The price of the plugin ist serious money for an amateur musician like me, but once you have it, the value is overwhelming.

Grand step beyond to compensate limited possibilities
An unbelievable gift for me and my limited possibilities. This tool is just great! Testing just some of the routings made my mixes smoother and, unexpected, more authentic!
Thank you UA for your research and great work!

Room modeling perfection
Title of the review says it all. I haven't really used it as a send, only on inserts....but the sound of this plug as a room modeling tool is perfection. Primarily using it on sampled instruments in the box, i.e. pianos, strings, drums, etc. Haven't tried it on something that I've recorded from the outside world...

ocean waves...
incredible what a room can do to instruments and voices.
especially the mike positioning seems so realistic and lets me create spaces in music I always thought were missing in mixes. very useful tool !

Genuinely love this plug
Soon as I tested this out it became my default reverb plug in. I use it on programmed drums, keys, vocals.. Everything really. I don't know the sound of ocean way studios, that doesn't concern me. But I do know when a reverb sounds good and this thing has improved the quality of my recordings by so much with such little ease. I use a separate instance of this plugin on each mix buss ( drums, vocals, gusts, etc.) and it sounds wonderful.
