Small Live Room? No problem

If you are like me, chances are your live room for tracking is not as big as you would want it to. You have to learn how to use it adequately but when you do, you will never have the small live room problem again. It is great to add a "REAL" depth to your sound, I love to use it in re amp mode inserted on my room mic track. I can easily tweak the distance to get the desire space I want. FANTASTIC, this thing on drum room is a beast!

Superb ambience plugin

Hi, it´s been about a month since I´m using Ocean, and I have two main things to comment.

As a reverb I´ve used in some tracks, and feel it´s very good, but could not tell the difference with other superb reverbs, I just think it sounds great and does its job, but using a significant DSP power.

BUT the main thing I´m using Ocean with, and I would really recommend, is as an ambience generator in the master. Anything you put inside the rooms, playing a bit with mic combinations (I really like the far distant ones) carries your song, or whatever you play; instantly into a live performance. Just add claps and you feel you are into a great sound medium sized room live performance. I feel it´s superb with classic and jazz music.

No more Dry Season

This plugin will add color and tone to whatever you put it on. With so many variations and presets to choose from, you'll have the ability to make something sound like it's "Straight Outta Heaven." You can't get a fresh natural room sound effect unless you have this plugin.

Shout out to Universal Audio for making superb plugins.

The best room emulation I have ever heard!



My drum room is well treated and fairly dry. Adding this plugin took it to another level. I have altiverb and thought it was grainy sounding in comparison. I demoed the the Ocean Way plugom it sounded like a real room. Great job!!

This has had a glitch in it since it's release 2 years ago

I do love the sound of this plug, but it's absolutely insane that after having it out for over 2 years there is still an issue where the plugin gives error messages because it loads itself improperly. I don't want to be in a situation where I am mixing and have to question my decision to use an effect because it may cause issues down the line with the project. I own 75% of the UAD plugins and this is the ONLY one with this issue, and there are others that use a higher percentage of the processor. No excuse other than laziness after this amount of time.

A Life Saver for Untreated Rooms

Despite its DSP hunger, this plug-in gives any closed mic'd source a sense of space that is hard to achieve any other way. I use it in everything I track now. Being o a duo chip from my Twin, I have to bounce every channel to save resources, but it really shines at transforming a dead sound into a lively track full of vibe and space. It is worth every penny it costs.

Best of uad2 plug-ins

The one interested most in uad2 is ocean way studios plug-in. The special quality of the microphone and a sense of distance can be operated, and space can be produced. A string and a horn section can use it for the tone of the drum and the guitar amplifier at all parts. It can't be managed again yet. It was wonderful as expected.

Room tone on your tracks

It's a great option in one plug-in to have an adjustable room emulation on your tracks. The "cabinet" emulations in the iso room on OWS B are another level of manipulation, great on tracks you just want to take "somewhere else" in character and bandwidth. The room puts another dimension into placement of otherwise static dry signals.

outstanding rooms!

This was recommended to me and I bought it... I didn´t really get into it in the beginning, and thought it was a waste of money - but that changed!
I learned mixing with berklee online and everybody got super crazy about my reverbs - always! All I ever used was the lexicon 224 for halls, chambers and plates, as well as the oceanway plugin for rooms and small halls. This combination is killer! The rooms of this plugin sound extremely natural! It´s so fresh! I really use it on every mix!

Best UAD plugin: stupid easy to use and sounds great. Fun too.

This is just a fancy convolution reverb plugin, right? So why does it sound so much better? It's because it is extremely easy to use and the right microphones were placed in the best possible places. That, and when you move the microphones closer or further away it still sounds good. My mono acoustic guitar recordings (mono-stereo creates incredible depth), background vocals, synths, electric guitars, and drum machines need this plugin more then any other on my system. Fantastic design with the mixer and microphone placement - I would love to see more plugins with this kind of design, please!!

Just wow

This reverb is just incredible. It adds space and depth around the sound like no others (should be early reflections). Things recorded very dry and in very small room with no air around the sound can now be as if they were recorded in a big room with a beautiful sound.
As for the re mic mode, another incredible thing. It doesn't work all the time but when it does it's just magic. Put that very dry and in your face percussion into that big room and voilà ! transient gets smoother and you can adjust in real time the depth of the sound field by moving the mics closer or farther.
A must have !

good reverb

awesome !

This is one of my favorite plugins from uad. I was hesitating to buy this because of its pricepoint, but thanks to the latest promotions I jumped for it. Ocean Way has given my recordings a new dimension, since I work a lot with virtual instruments and a dry room. I´m absolutely stunned, this will become indispensable for my work.

Cool Plugin

This plugin sound great. I like Remic Mode making more space but It use more dsp . I can use one or two plugin in one session .
If it use little dsp , so great plugin .

A fine refreshment!

I struggled a lot about this plug-in trying to understand if it would be useful for my work and also if the bill wast worth of it...
Well, now I finally got it and I'm quite surprised as it delivers so much and in a totally new refreshing way!
Surprisingly useful, great sounding and very innovative tool! No regrets at all!

Tight studio - big studio

Makes it easier to work with a tight studio, knowing that OW can create air in the mix if needed!

Great for DX bus

As a room modeler I did a test of this against some of the other reverbs I use for room verbs on a film I just did. It went up against Reverberate, TL, Phoenix, and Lex. It tied for room reverbs with Reverberate, but won out easily on usability. Lex is more musical (to me) so it wasn't a fair comp. Phoenix had more specialized presets, but as to day to day rooms on my dialogue bus I found Ocean Way to be the easiest to mix into a standard interior room conversation between characters in a film.
