Great but cpu hog
Absolutely beautiful tones. Kills cpu though

Solo acoustic guitar?
Sorry - I just don't get all the great reviews on this. I recorded a solo steel string guitar here in my home studio (certainly not the greatest acoustics) - thought I'd try the SCS plugin to give myself a more professional sounding polish of a nice recording room - and to honest, it sounded awful. I've love to know if I'm doing something inherently wrong, because in general I love my UAD plugs. My natural room sound is so much better... I just don't get it - sorry!

Just Like I Remembered It
I moved to LA at the end of 1973. By mid 1974 I was working with Buddy Miles as a guitarist, writing partner, and co-producer.
First session we ever did together was at Sound City Studio A. Playing along with me on that session were Ollie Brown and Ray Parker Jr.
Welcome to LA!
PS The plug-in sounds exactly the same. And, after my working with Keith Olhsson there, I’m very familiar with those micing positions. Great job.

re-mic-ing,
“re-mic-ing” technique was used already in ‘80s. and now we can do it on a laptop(super cool!!). I tried on a piano track and also on string quartet (4 instruments grouped), the results are both fabulous. it gives the sound “life” and “presence”. this is incontestably my “plugin of the year” and certainly for years coming…… thank you UAD!!

Amazing!
It gives a professional studio vibe to your home recordings, I thought that wasn't possible but this plugin does exactly that.

Awesome sound
Love the sound, and so much fun to experiment with.

Be prepared for some investment in time...
This has a lot going on under the hood and I think is capable of some great sounds. Certainly I was able to get a lovely mono>stereo sound for acoustic guitar with a single mic source. However I also found it slowed me down due to option overload. Plus, it is moderately hard work for my few year old Imac . I found myself reverting to more familiar plugins (UAD as often as not) to get my project done. A WIP for me...

Now please do an Apollo version
After buying into the UAD DSP ecosystem, I don't love that I am forced to use precious CPU resources to run this on my computer. The results sound amazing though and really allow for some creative experimentation in the sound field.

Whoops!
CPU sucker … almost make it useless… only way I can use it is by processing after the fact no real time processing … I do get decent results but the fact that I doesn’t work Apollo really sucks… I have an octo card but it’s useless with native… for that I give it 2 thumbs down

Much needed space!!
This plugin has made its way to every session since I purchased it! The sound of the room is not overwhelming at all.

Unreal
Just an unbelievable way to change tone and space with ease, and with such realism. Compressor is a very special addition. Can be CPU hungry so judicious use is a necessity, but this takes stale samples or recordings and breathe new life into the sound in a number of creative ways.

Awesome plugin but WAY too CPU heavy. Don't buy it.
I was really excited about this plugin but, unfortunately had to go back to my go-to reverbs after trying this in a few mixes. WAY too CPU heavy, to the point where I couldn't even use it as a one-instance send effect. The audio is literally cutting out every couple of seconds. My honest opinion is, DON'T BUY THIS PLUGIN if you are getting the native version. I have a pretty decent system and have never had any of these issues with any other plugin that I've used. I feel a bit cheated after paying good money for this, to be honest. I've also bought the UAD spark membership and will stick with UAD for this year, hoping that they will tweak this plugin and make it more CPU friendly, but if they don't, I don't think I'll renew my membership next year.

Sound City Studio
This has to be one of the coolest reverb plugins i have used in a long time. Super easy to use and it make the source sound wide and open. Putting this on your dry drum bus will instantly take you into the era of Sound City Studios and get those magical tones that the room is so famous for. I love it!

I'm having tons of fun with this plug. Used it on various things like keys, vocals and drums. Works great on parallel as well. It's gives so much more depth to anything I add it to, in a way I cannot easily achieve with anything else. Very cool.

Killer Sound!!!
Despite being a CPU hog it is well worth it for sure!!!! Killer sound!!!!! Thank you!!!!
