Absolutely incredible what this can do to instruments
Can make close miced instruments sound like they were recorded in an amazing live room. Amazing for making fake drum room mics. Whereas most room reverbs seem to emulate quite neutral sounding rooms, this is a really nicely coloured sounding room, and so versatile with all the mic/placement options

Fantastic
Uses tons of DSP but totally worth it. Beautiful sounding plugin!

Change is good
OWS has opened up a whole new way of approaching ambience in my recordings. It gives me space that I could never attain with reverbs (at least to my ears) I'm sure further exploration will only improve the uses for this plugin!
C. Halter
Awesome plugin!
Sounds absolutely amazing!

Space
This is a sweet way to create a room on individual tracks and then top it off with the Capital Chambers.

Fundamental
This is not a room reverb but a virtual space generator of the highest quality. This plugin is useful to position elements in the space of a mix. I find it fundamental for percussions and some often-too-dry electronic elements. An acoustic guitar captured by line? Not a problem! After positioning and phase-aligning the microphones the before and after is remarkable. The demo is worth trying because it takes some trial and error to finally find the sweet spot for each type of sound. I wish this plugin was multichannel and the three different mics could be fed into the DAW independently for additional treatment. Anyway, there is always a work around. I hope for future plugins like this.

Game Changer.
More than a delay/reverb/eq combo, it's a game-changing tool to add air and life to your recordings. Best 'out of the box' sound yet in a digital world. Can't say enough about it.

Best!
Absolute amazing plugin.

Amazing ambience
I can't believe how good this is, I've used it to add realism to d.i. guitars, to bring drums to life and as the glue across a full mix. it really does add a depth of realism that needs to be heard to be believed.

Outstanding!
I track my drums in a smaller room and when I need to expand my sound for a track I use this every time! Turn your small room into a massive, beautiful sounding professional live room in an instant!

Wow! This plug in is crazy!
This is not your typical reverb. It adds a 3-D quality to everything you run through it. It adds dimension and seems to improve resolution of whatever you run through it. Truly Amazing! Great job guys
J. Prado
Very lush and sophisticated
This is a amazing plugin and very useful. It brings really dead/dark tracks to life and it is very realistic, it feels like a real room and I don't see any lack of features.
This is such a powerful tool for any style of music and can't really describe. I find myself using it in almost every mix session, specially on drums and acoustic guitars. fantastic for Piano too it real adds warmth and a 3D depth to the sound.
I would love to see more plugins that recreates classic recording rooms.

Better than expected
Hands down one of my new favorite plugins from UA. I expected it be a good reverb, but the re-mic feature has now become an essential tool for me.
Hope to see more modeling plugins like this in the future.

Brilliant !!!
Is any other plugin that is even remotely close to Ocean Way Studios. No; There’s no alternatives. Not a single reverb with a room can sound like Ocean Way plugin. It transforms any sampled instrument into a real instrument. And the vocals oh my lord, just amazing. Thank you guys for your amazing tech contribution to our Industry. Please never stop !!
D. Rasgado
Phenomenal plugin
There’s just something special about what this does to sampled libraries. Particularly Kontakt Piano and String libraries it gives a certain type of depth that’s hard to achieve with traditional reverb plugins. Really cool for situational uses in different parts of songs too.

Fantastic Rooms
Turn off the room mics in your vst drum library of choice and use this instead. You're welcome!
I. Cunha
Great room simulation
This is a very useful plug-in, both for single or multiple instruments. It recreates the rooms in a very musical way and is easy to find a good balance within the mix.

Fantastic, but heavy on DSP!
This plugin is pretty awesome for taking material recorded in either a less than ideal environment, or quite direct and giving them the sound of being tracked in a fantastic space.
The ability to reposition that mics and adjust their distance makes getting the sound you are after very straight forward.
Being able to essentially re-mic the recording, and also adjust the blend of the 3 positions is also very cool.
The only downside is that it is quite heavy on DSP (about 50% of a core).
