no EQ
This is not an EQ,
this makes the sound. The old method of don't create the sound, only reduce the noice
is working perfectly that plugin. IT is able to boost your weak frequencies and add more color, than a band machine. Very good

Great sound, but very cpu hungry
You would want to use multiple instances in a mix to get the most out of this realistic-sounding reverb. That way, you could make use of the source-dependent algorithms. However, the CPU usage is through the roof, even by UAD standards. Other people I've spoken to have the same issue. Unfortunately, after 15 minutes of testing I replaced it with my usual go-to's. Hopefully, they will bring some optimizations with future updates.

Excellent Tape
This is a wonderful tape recorder. Very nice textures and quality.
D. Silva
That Vintage Slap and That Spacey Sound
It's a very great recreation of this classic, with that classic tape delay sound and all the possibilities.
Great Work!
H. Haldane
Love it
It’s really taking my mixes to the next level

Native only
As always, the plugin sounds good, but the native-only option is disappointing. It seems that UA is slowly abandoning the hardware, and professional users in general, for the cash cow that is the casual home user. I don't mean that as a disparaging to casual users. Rather, both groups have different needs. I need to have the ability to run plugins on the way in, on the Apollo, as part of my workflow.
And with the constant sales and price drops, what is a UA plugin truly worth in late 2023/early 2024? I never minded the price, as long as I got the absolutely best plugins money could buy. But is that what we're getting? Is Sound City up to the standard of the classic Ocean Way? I'm not sure.

UA what's going on? No Native?
I spent a lot of money to have DSP power now, this is Native only? come on guys what's happening? also your Customer Service/Technical Support is terrible nowdays. If you continue like this, you're going to lose a lot of your fan/customer base and become just like an regular low quality plugin company

Turns your little village into sound city
Flexibility for days, sweet sounding ambiences and reverb . Highly tweekable room solution for pop rock productions . Love it.

People need to stop
For years everyone complained about UAD not being Native. Now they finally did it and people are one starring a pristine plugin. What is wrong with people? THIS PLUGIN IS PERFECT. Do your self a favor and disregard the stars. The low overall rating is due to people angry that they missed a sale or that the plugin does not run on UA DSP.

Just what i wanted
New to UAD, I wasn't sure what to expect. Sure, i had heard of how good the A800 sounds. After inserting into my first track, I was hooked. The sound I was chasing, was now mine! Shaping my tracks perfectly. I look forward to continuing with this and other UAD software.

A nice tape flavor with lots of control
This is not my first tape simulation plugin, and to be honest, my first impression when trying the demo was that I wasn't really surprised. But after playing around for a while, I managed to craft the sound I was aiming for, and then I compared to two other plugins. The results felt much more alive, so that's when I decided to buy it. The level of control you get from the features is key to separate this from other similar options. As it's usually the case with audio, the secret is in the details.

Lovely
I dig it!

Fairchild
I've been using the Fairchild plug-in for a few months now and absolutely love the character it add to every channel and /or buss I add it to. Recently I used 2 660*s on L & R mono tracks to sculpt tone and character while experimenting with a rear buss mixing technique. It was well worth it and a joy to use.

SoundCity
As a longtime OceanWay user I felt I knew what to expect. As much as I dig OW, SC is a major surprise. Really well done. Great room, with certainly more obvious character than OW which is a wonderful purpose built room that is way more subtle. With SoundCity that sound is there on default. Great tweak ability to shape any sound source. I love drums in there. Ditto acoustic piano (so far). Very nice on acoustic guitar/electric guitar. Really good on multi voice harmonies. It’s OK on lead vocals but that might be my problem getting there and not the plugin. Thanks Team UA… I will be using it a lot going forward.

Fantastic reverb
This makes my acoustic track sound professional. Thanks UA for creating another wonderful plugin, thanks also for the sale. Great job!
