Sound City Studio for all of us
Founded in 1969 by Tom Skeeter and Joe Gottfried, Sound City Studios was built in a former Vox amplifier production warehouse in Van Nuys, California. Sound City Studios soon became an indispensably musical space in shaping some of the most beloved and influential records ever made, best known for rock. As the focus of Dave Grohl's film documentary Sound City Studios, the studio has lent its sonic fingerprint to records for over 50 years. From the seminal ‘70s sounds of Fleetwood Mac’s eponymous album, to ‘80s hits by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, to one of the most heralded albums of all time, Nirvana’s Nevermind, Sound City Studios' unique sound still sets the foundation for truly great recordings. Thank you to Sandy Skeeter, who agreed to let UA through Sound City Studios' doors to benefit all of the creatives of the world with this wonderful tool.

Good, but could be great
Right off the bat, you can only record on this using the opened back of the Leslie. This is fine for rock, I guess. But Don Leslie invented this cabinet to be heard from the front, through the louvres that he intentionally carved into the wood. Not offering this very BASIC option is tantamount to malpractice. Recording through the open back gives you a very phasey, thwocky, open-wood-hole sound that is not what you want for jazz, gospel and blues- which -guess what?- the Hammond organ tends to do a lot of. It almost seems like no real Hammond Organ players were consulted on this plugin at all, but "rockers" who want to run their guitars through a swirly effect got tons of say.
Gain staging can be a nightmare too. It seems to be best when you give it a very faint signal input. The output meter is utterly useless. It indicates nothing. At all. Ignore it.
All that said, it does sound remarkably like my real, vintage 122 when I remove the back panels, and that's exactly why i don't remove the back panels. Ever.
This could easily be a 5 star plugin if UA simply gave you the basic option of hearing the speaker the way it's inventor intended for it to be heard. (And don't give me any flack about being able to record through the louvres on the sides...that is NOT the same thing.) This is like meticulously emulating every aspect of a Fender Bassman amp, but only letting you mic it from above. It is a needless, staggering, unforced error.
I'm not withholding stars due to the fact that it's only native, since they tell you that upfront. But for Pete's sake, the Leslie is an incredibly important part of the hammond sound that shapes and changes your performance as an organ player. You are constantly relying on the sound of your leslie when performing. Pushing it harder or backing off based on how the Leslie responds. Since I cannot use this plugin in a unison slot, I am forced to GUESS how much to gain it as I perform, then apply the Leslie after the fact to see whether I GUESSED correctly. Far from ideal.
This is a decent plugin that could so, so ,so easily be an -invaluable- plugin. I hope UA listens.

Love this plugin!
I’ve always been a big fan of API so finding this plugin was a game changer for me! I use it on almost everything, especially acoustic instruments. It’s magic on guitars and drums.

Using three digital MiniMoog VST`s since years . This one gets nearest to original analog.

I Prefer This Over Pultec EQ
Love it. In general, I get better results compared to the Pultec options.
D. Taite
Great plugins
I love these plugins, they are so easy to use and have a clear sound. But... the ilok license is the worst thing on planet earth, I hate it

Buss Comp
One of the best buss comps for drums
J. Romero
Very classic
I love the depth and dimensionality that its chorus effect produces.
Very analogous and very classic.
J. Meza
The best for my job.
I’m in love with the silver one, really smooth out all the vocals and feels more presents, it’s really my favorite.
J. Meza
The best pre
I think it is the best preamp of my arsenal, really love the sound, and I use it for reamp too.
S. Bhaga
Incredible!!!
This is a MUST have, strictly speaking of the sound quality, this compressor is an absolute BEAST. One step closer to hardware quality ITB. I understand why people are annoyed, but they're missing something... The fact that you can now take your UA plugins on the road, without your HW! And..UA have given me an array of my plugins to use on UA connect. Magnificent plugin and a step in the right direction. 5 stars.

vivo en argentina y mi moneda esta muy devaluada ojala en algún momento ,universal audio pueda darle acceso a sus productos a personas de paises latinos que no están a la altura económica de otras partes del mundo, a si todo podríamos obtener desde hardware y plugin desde ya un saludo cordial para todos bendiciones..

Five Star Worthy
I've owned many effects over the years, both plug-in and hardware pieces. Waterfall is easily one of the most lush, ear pleasing, of them all. You'll find it's surprisingly useful on guitars, keyboards, and more. Try it sparingly to add uniqueness to your modern recordings, or apply it more heavily to teleport your sound back to the 1960s.
