Fantastic!!
Don’t think this is just for the crooners. This sounds fantastic. I used it on some solo classical violin. Wow, it sounded haunting. Same thing with vocals if you need something really intimate. This is a really lush reverb.

My heavens...
To learn how much of the sound of Capitol Records was in its reverb chamber was astonishing. Such an education. I applied this to a mix that was relatively dry and the difference was immediate and beautiful. It sounded like a record... because that's what so often makes records sound the way they do. It's not just reverb. It's a combination of room tone, speakers, and the mics used to record the sound coming out of them. This, along with the Motown reverb chambers and Sound City Studios has given me an instant education and an appreciation for the necessity for such quality sounding rooms and the benefits they bring to a song or an individual track. In short, they bring things to life. I love dry tracks. They are very often my favorite. But when a room sound is needed (and I am realizing how much more they are needed than I realized for many things) these are my go-to room sounds. The ease and instinctual nature of the interface is exceptional and a pleasure to work with. The name of the game is subtly and this (and the other rooms I mentioned) has a delicate and sensitive response to the slightest adjustment and when the right sound is found it is simply magical.

AWESOME!!
I'm testing this out and man this sounds AMAZING!! Used on drum room ,vocals and acoustic guitars. I've read a couple reviews that said it's CPU heavy but I haven't had issues or maybe I'm doing something wrong....now I need to find $350.

Excellent
Excellent in drums and vocals

Excellent sounding reverb
This is one of those things I didn't think I needed because I have several other reverbs, until I used it. Now it's my 1st choice when I need reverb. Try the demo and see what I mean.

Perfect reproduction
I recorded a demo in the Capitol Records studio. This is as near perfect a reproduction of that reverb chamber as you will ever hear.
S. Cohen
Dreamy spaces
Definitely a perfect emulation of the reverberation of the real chambers, a dreamy sound with many creative possibilities...
Caution! It's tempting to use it almost with any track...

I bought the plug from you on 9/19. I still can't see it in my installer.
I emailed your support and still haven't received an answer. Since I
wasn't able to install the plug, I can't leave one review on the plug.
But my assessment of your support is very low.

This one has CHARACTER
Lots and lots of character. It's perfect to add a vintage vibe to acoustic guitar, vocals or brass sections. It's not suitable in every ocassion of course, but it sure is my most loved reverb. Most other reverbs do their job, this one adds something 'special'.

You don’t know it yet - but you really NEED these Capitol Chambers!
As a Nashville studio running two UAD2 cards in our expander, we probably have (and are expected to have) every UAD, WAVES, LEX, TC, Eventide, PSP, FabFilter, Sonox and countless other great reverb plugins in our arsenal. Also a host of outboard reverbs dating back to the eighties.
That said: When Universal Audio recently offered us a fair discount on “Capitol Chambers”, I already had many reverb options …. and I didn’t immediately leap out of my chair with delight.
I had a few spare minutes between sessions and ended up listening to the Capitol promos, because there is a VERY good reason why we do already have, need and make regular use of so many different reverbs over a multitude of projects. No two are alike.
To be honest, it was an impulse-buy, because I know from a long history with UA, that you can’t go wrong with them - and I knew that I would eventually use Capitol Chambers at some stage, once I had time to play with it and find out what best suited this seemingly “ordinary” tool??
Because of our large tracking room, we are regularly mixing acoustic music and instruments. Bluegrass, folk, singer-songwriter etc. Sadly, regular reverbs often change the “feel” of those often “organic” and real projects. So, I thought to myself, “What the hell. Let’s try the new Capitol Chambers today.”
Ummmm, all I can report is - no matter how many OTHER verbs you have - you definitely need these! They don’t so much “add reverb” as they add a warm and musical common space for all the ingredients and parts of your track to melt together beautifully inside of. They can be wide and very stereo (out of the way of voices, or solo instruments), or just natural and unobtrusive. In other words, they won’t invade, or cover your existing natural mix. But you’ll DEFINITELY hear and FEEL the difference when you mute the effect. All space and no "wash”.
What do they “work best” on? EVERYTHING! When mixing, just add a tiny bit more to the elements that you need taken back a step. And then use slightly less on the parts that you want framed by the “glued-together” backing and these dryer parts will magically pop out in front, but always remain part of the mix as tied in with the same Capitol reverb.
Yes. You need these, because they do what all the other room-sims and chamber IR’s once claimed, but never succeeded in doing for us. UA got it right again. Get ‘em!

Enough in itself
Capitol Chambers by UAD is an exceptional plugin that adds an unparalleled depth and warmth to my mixes. The lush, authentic reverbs truly bring my tracks to life, and the stunning realism of the emulated chambers is just mind-blowing. The user-friendly interface makes it a breeze to dial in the perfect reverb settings, and the versatility of the plugin allows me to achieve a wide range of sounds, from subtle ambience to expansive, larger-than-life reverbs. It has quickly become an indispensable tool in my mixing arsenal, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for an incredibly authentic and versatile reverb plugin, Capitol Chambers is an absolute must-have.
