i take it all back
Tried this plugin years ago couldn't get it to sound good gave it 3 stars . Tried it again recently in a dead space and was blown away . Beautiful air and body on room mics very realistic indeed . Iam still yet to try it on drums but so far vocals and acoustic guitar are stunning. Worth the dsp load

NOT a gimmick.....
I purchased Ocean Way a while back, played around with it a bit, thought it might be pretty useful at some point- and kind of left it at that. Well, yesterday? Mind is blown.
I needed some virtual brass for a project, and as always, was dissatisfied with the way the horns were sitting. Either, too much in front and cheesy sounding, or buried and tinny. That's when I thought, "What I need is a good sounding room.... hey, how bout that Ocean Way deal? You know that moment when you click on something and it feels like you just got a pony, a new bike, AND your favorite breakfast as a kid on Christmas morning? Yeah. It felt like that. Yes, it is a pricey plugin, and no it may not work for every little thing.... but, if you use virtual horns, strings, or drums? Worth every penny, and then some.

Make your virtual instruments sound like real instruments
I'm seriously impressed by this plugin. It's quite heavy on resources, but I use it to track instruments and if I'm looking to give a bit more life to virtual instruments it's great.

Impressive reverb
This is just an impressive room simulation. It gives depth, life and energy to every instrument, on every mix.

Not an ordinary reverb plugin
I already have several reverb plugins, satisfied with them. But I can't help buying this after trying demo. It was the re-mic processing surprises me. It not only glues several tracks and adds beautiful reverb sounds but sounds like they're really in the same space.

A unique and different reverb plugin
I was skeptical about this plugin, but I found the re-mic feature truely unique. It definitely give a very musical sense of space to my mixes.

THE HOPE FOR LO-FI
This is a great plugin to create some really unique, lo-fi even, sounds. I was really impressed with the variations I could get and how I was able to change so much. I like that as an engineer.

Great for adding life to recordings from a dead room
I have a very small home studio treated with lots of broadband bass absorption to get rid of problems with reflections etc. I've always used my collection of reverbs to add life to recordings, but this plugin is something special. It sounds beautiful and it adds an airiness and a realness that before this has eluded me. I only have it a few weeks, so I'm still learning to deploy all of its subtleties more effectively while mixing, but even already it helps me achieve the 3-dimensionality and sense of real space that has been lacking from my previous mixes. It has established itself as a fixture on the drum bus.
I've also used it while tracking though my Apollo Quad to give musicians a better vibe in the cans.
If you have a beautiful tracking room, then this plugin may be of limited benefit. But if, like me, you have a small dead tracking room and use a mixture of DI-ed instruments, virtual instruments as well as live instruments, then this could be a vital element in your studio. Well done UAD, and thanks. Your hard work and dedication to music is appreciated.

Absolutely amazing.
It's quite the DSP hog but it's worth it. You get what sounds like a REAL room. This isn't an IR, this isn't a reverb. The re-mic'ing feature just feels right. Send multiple tracks to this on a bus acting as reverb for a great effect.

This DSP hog is worth it!
Prior to purchasing this plugin, I had only used it as a reverb. And it excels at that. But where I think this plugin really shines is in its "Re-Mic" function, which is perfect for making dull sounding tracks sound lively and huge. If you've got a small project studio or have ever recorded in a small apartment or even a dorm room, you know that the results you get often sound like it. This plugin also does well to spruce up poorly mic'ed tracks. Works well for anything, but I have found it especially useful on vocals and acoustic guitar. Definitely not a "set and forget" plugin, to get the most out of it you've got to be willing to spend a bit of time familiarizing yourself with its functions and trying different things. Love the mic selections and the variable distance. This plug is a winner all around. The only downside is how much DSP it eats up, but with how good it sounds, it's worth it.
Props to UAD, this ones a winner!
