I guarantee this will change your life

Just demo this plugin (stereo) on a mono acoustic guitar track that has been recorded with a pickup. Use the studio A guitar preset. And tell me the guitar track wasn't recorded with incredible mics in the most gorgeous room.

So now with my apollo I get this acoustic guitar sound live on all my gigs. UA continues to change the whole game.

Of course it's equally stellar on a drum submix, or lead vocal, or any sound you want to have a gorgeous room sound instead of a dry close miked sound.

Need a room?

Well, this might not be the cheapest, nor the lightest plugin on the UAD DSP-platform. However this room sounds like no other room-emulation I have encountered. It sounds open and very 3D-ish = natural. I had my doubts about the Re-mic outcome but these were all put to shame. Astonishing what this can do to a fairly dry signal and virtual instruments. Hats off to UA for this one. Pricey and heavy on the shark chip (bounce in place for me)- but no one comes close to this one. Do yourselves a favour and try it - you will need that room:)

wonderful...but has a few issues

please UA - fix the distracting zipper noise and audible glitches on the fader controls...none of the other UA plugins have this issue.

Also - the fader controls need better physics - they are over-sensitive and its too easy to accidentally move one several db and upset the balance.

sonically - this is an amazing reverb & convolution device - worth the cost - it does some amazing things on pianos and other instruments that are difficult to sit in a mix.

awesome!!

a great suble reverb for tracks recorded in a dead or otherwise uninteresting space - has some peculiarities in it's function so read up on the remic v reverb settings in the manual. that said, this plug is very helpful for adding dimension/life to tracks without too much wash.

Very useful

This is a really useful plugin for home studio production. Great to be able to put a live room on guitars recorded in my tiny studio. Also great to use with synthetic drums and bass to "liven" them up some.

Exceeded expectation

Love drums through this thing! But honestly anything goes... Vocals, guitar, piano, anything. Adds great natural space to any track and easy to adjust. Definitely more options than I would have guessed. Great plug.

This plugin is Boss !

I Demo'd O.W.S after reading a review on the new "Daft Punk" mix ...I loaded it up, tracked through it from the get go with a decent Taylor and the "Guitar preset" loaded , Wow !..All this added Control i was suddenly presented !!! I love this Plugin .It sounds great on Overheads and adds nice body to snare in Reverb Mode. I also love the space its created in my mixes .Dialing in a different Kind of depth & Character in a few simple tweaks :)

A game changer plugin

This is for sure the most innovative plugin of the UAD line.

Didn't find a source i couldn't improve with this amazing tool.

As a room/ambiance reverb unit it is great... but once you start to use the re-mic mode then you enter a whole new world where you can go from just adding subtle "air" around the source to fully imerging it into this great souding studio while changing the overall tone by switching mics.

The more tracks you'll use it on and the more smooth and coherent your mix will start to sound before you'll even really start to mix.

If you work mainly ITB this plug really is a game changer. 5 stars !!!

tres realiste

le océan way studio et très bien réalisé et sonne vraiement très realiste. L'utilisation et facile à comprendre même s' il faut passé un peux de temps sur les réglages. Dommage qu'il consomme autant de resource sinon cela aurait mérité 5 étoiles

Less a 'reverb'. More of an additional studio 'room'!

This plugin is pretty awesome! Especially for someone like me who has a home studio and can't always afford to go to a nice studio with a great room sound. Feel like your drum tracks are a little too dead or dry? This plugin can do wonders. Need a little more space to that percussion, vocal, or guitar track? This plugin will make those tracks feel alive and give them some breathing room. It's a great tool!
I would give it 5 stars but for the price I kinda thing it could have one more room option or slightly more extensive variety. It is great at what it does but I feel like I will eventually crave another or more drastic options.

Bravo

Alors là réellement bravo, merci merci merci. L'impression de modification de la pièce est brillantissime. Les simulations de mics excellente avec toutefois l'envie de pouvoir bénéficier d'autres modèles ( U47, Telefunken ELLA etc...) enfin on peut toujours rêver.. Je n'aurais pas assez de place pour vous décrire les qualités de ce plugg mais quoi qu'il en soit, foncez dessus si vous n'avez pas la chance d'avoir des pièces parfaites . Trouvez l'endroit le plus neutre chez vous et créez vous votre espace grâce à Ocean Way.

I like it!

First of all it works well very well. Second you get to where you want to go with the sound it feels strong. Third it is fun! It's not about effect it is about space and the importance of the preformance. Helps with the thinking process of recording, plus it does not disappoint. In other words it's great, go for it!
