Almost magical!
I love using it to turn mediocre samples/loops into something vibrant and alive by giving the illusion of actual space. The GUI is simple and effective. The sound is very persuasive. The effect is more than essential. It's almost magical IMO.

Uad - another game changer plug.
Nice job on this one, gents - GREAAT room simulation, flexibility in mic choice and proximity. I am finding this plug in extremely useful to add 'reality' to otherwise sterile tracks, including d/i instruments. Also finding it great to glue together instruments recorded separately - brings them all into the same space. Not using it as a 'reverb' recently - more as a 'room reality' creator. GREAT JOB !

Ocean Way Studio
I read a couple reviews of this plug in before buying it where it was described as a one trick pony. They weren't lying. Basically all this plug in does is place your sound in a room. However it is PHENOMENAL at doing that. I have used it on a number of sources and it adds a depth to the sound that is very impressive. Ocean Way can place elements perfectly in a mix at times when separate reverbs and delays just aren't doing the trick. I have recommended this to several friends of mine who are also on uad. It is a must have for your in the box toolkit.

Another great win for my studio!!
The ocean way studio offers something totally new for me, especially with the re-mic function. As i am a home studio guy, doing arrangements, overdubs and small ep productions, ocean way is a game changer for me. I have no outboard gear and everything is ITB. My Virtual instruments like drums, synths, orchestral libraries sound so much better with this on the bus. You instantly hear the difference. The mic choices, mic positioning, panning, master eq options are awesome.
It is definitely a plugin you need to dedicate some time to find out whats right for you, but the presets are really really good starting points that will get you in the ballpark asap.
The reverb option is also incredible and sounds just insane out of the box. Thumps up!!

Not the easiest way around it
As much as I wanted to love this plug-in at first, I didn't when I demo-ed it. But I still got it anyways, knowing it'd be useful down the line.
It has saved my ass many times [mix sessions where there were no good drum room mics, and adding ambiances]. But it hasn't really been in an intuitive way.
I get the whole re-mic idea, and on paper it seems really cool. But the execution just isn't sensible for stuff that is tracked well - yet it's only really is meant for stuff that isn't tracked well.
Adding drum ambiance is what it does best. Really takes some careful bussing into it and a lot of messing with parameters in ways that I wouldn't expect to get a sound I dig. It does blend quite well once I'm there, though. Great plug still

Nothing but amazing!!
It's not just a reverb, I track drums on very big rooms every week , and this plugging save my day a few weeks ago when I had to mix some V-drums files, I send a mix of all my samples and then I printed the 3 layers of room mics to channels using different compressors on each And or the job done!!
I just like to be able to routing the 3 pairs of mic to individual returns to process the pairs at just one pass!!

very unique plugin
It was very easy to use than I expected. Great plugin for home studio / project studio owners without a great room to record. One of my fav plugs from UA.
T. Commo
Very nice!
I was very impressed with this plugin on various instruments. It really gives a nice warmth to everything. I've never been to the real Ocean Way Studios so I really have no idea how well it mimics the sound there but it does add very nice natural depth to my mixes without sounding fake at all (don't go overboard with it). The mic placement function ended up being much more useful than I had originally thought. Read the manual too. This thing does a bit more than meets the eye. Buy and enjoy!

I haven't used it a lot yet, but what I have used it on sounds amazing. Looking forward to experimenting more.

Ocean way or no way
fantastic way to beef up my recordings with a touch of expensive room sound!

More than a reverb
This plug-in is much more than just a reverb. I use it often on vocals to change the sounds - simulate different world class microphones and change the room mode.
If you want to move from good to brilliant and add a superb room to your music productions then consider this plug-in for your next purchase.

Amazing dimension
This plugin adds tone if u want, natural 3dimensional feel n sound better then a typical reverb. Mic options such as c12, u47 gave my instruments that feel good tone quickly.
I make hiphop music and let me tell you, use the room sound for lead vocal and backups n your guitars and synths and you will say wow!
Yes it's very pricey but my mixes sound like they were mixed by universal pictures after using Oceanway studio! Try it yourself, use the room vocal verb sound for lead vocal and use the group vocal preset for backup vox and listen for yourself. Then use the guitar presets in mic mode and see what it does to your synths pass pianos.
Thank UA now I just need you to do the adm1540 eq

Wow, what a fun space maker
Sounds amazing. Somewhere between brilliant IR and real live room. This is the closest I've ever heard to the real deal:)

Can't Understand the Bad Reviews
I put off getting this due to the bad reviews, but as soon as I got the demo, I knew I had to have it. In simple terms, if you have a poor sounding room, but can get it as dry as humanly possible, this plug-in can then add the quality and space you'd have had to pay mega bucks for in the past. It's not really a reveb... it's a room (or 2), but you can have almost total control over the mics within that room. It's added detail in a convolution reverb that I've always dreamed of! If only you had this much control in every altiverb patch! It is quite resource heavy though, but it's worth it.

When I first saw this, I thought wow, then I watched someone demo it on youtube, and he wasn't excited so I got less so. I demoed it and for a long time it did nothing for me, but of course I had no idea what I was doing, until i randomly put it on master and ....wow everything changed. Now every track I do gets this, just to see if there is magic to be had.
So this gets me thinking. Imagine you're a rebellous young f.. all rules kind of a band, and you have your perfect crispy clean digital dead sound recording to mold. You load this plugin and you can get it to sound like you're standing in your parents crappy sounding garage, or anywhere really. And this gets to be your breakthrough signature sound. But not for long so don't tell anyone.
