Go for it , it goes for you

Definitely this plug-in brought unlimited colours and enveloppes to my mix . I forgot for a while that I am in a "home studio" and felt myself projected in a more sophisticated world of "Takes". It reflects more and more the professionalism and awareness of UAD people to offer the best.

This is a very nice fit for my rig

Our "Family" room does triple duty as tracking, control and TV viewing area. The basement worked great for disco sounding drums and pretty well for lead vocals, but I really missed the ambient sound of my old tracking room. After hearing the recorded examples of OWS on the UA site, I had high hopes for what OWS might do for my situation. I invited a couple of drummers over and tracked a 4-piece kit with every drum close-mic'ed and a pair of overheads. Afterwards we rushed to the other side of the room, played back what we recorded through OWS, and I smiled! I don't have a clue what the real Ocean Way sounds like. I do know that since I probably won't move the studio again, I am so happy that UA and OWS released the OWS plug-in. Thanks UA!

Ocean Way Review Roald Raschner

Dear UAD Team,

i just can say that i am very happy with the Ocean Way Plug In. It makes exactly, what i expected and also more, than i expected.
The ambience in my mixes sounds more natural and also in combination with algorithmic reverbs Ocean Way works great.
And I´m surprised about the remike part of the plug in. Never heard that in such a quality. Very useful.

Just one Question. This was the second time i tried to pay and to use the coupons, that were 75 Dollars, whn i ordered.
What can i do to use the Coupons next time, when i buy something. Gimmie a hint, please.

Thank you und all the best,
Roald Raschner

Ocean Way Studios Plug-In

It that I looked for! Fast and intuitive. Great for adding width using the panning.Brightness, and space are independently adjustable All the real things that happen in a room...can be achieved and way more. It's nice to be able to tweak mics, distance, etc... Simply and cool!

Ocean Way "ALL THE WAY"

A++This plug-in was so exceptional that I reopened mixes that were ready to be sent for mastering so that I could remix: drums/guitars/group vox-- anything that would be enhanced by a real room sound. I've used combinations of rooms, delays, and reflection engines for a while now, but the realism here is bordering on ridiculous. For the vast majority of project studios we, out of necessity, try to record things dry and add ambience digitally. A great room always separated the "real studios" from the basement project studio. This plug-in closes the gap. If you're using a great front end (mic/pre/converter) this plug will help you capitalize on your investment by adding a marvelous room.

Incredible round sound

I used the Ocean Way Studio Plug-in for a production of voice and piano, using a digital piano and generating room sound by bypassing the piano's own reverb and sending it to Ocean Way. This created so much body to the sound, I could hardly believe this was still my digital piano and not a real Bösendorfer Grand. I also used the Plug-in for the vocals, where the result was equally stunning. I can recommend this fantastic tool very warmly to anyone producing acoustic music, even if you already have a great sounding environment. This Plug-in will give an extra touch of beauty and professionalism to your production!

Very versatile plug-in

I just love this one! My main use of this plug-in would definitely be on drums. You can get so many different characters on the same drum kit just by switching between the different microphones, microphone placements OR drum kit / instrument placement.

If you´re recording allot of drums and don´t have a great acoustic room to record them in, then this might be the plug-in you've been looking for.

awesome for Drummer

These really make Drummer in Logic Pro X sound awesome! Haven't tried it on much else yet. But it really shines on sampled drums.

A true must-have plug

There's not much to say: I just did a little quickie folm for a client, and the Ocean Way plug made my pre-production studio sound like a very expensive studio recording. When you can spend just a few hundred and sound like every recording cost you thousands more to produce -- that's a must-have tool.

OWS - A revolutionary tool

At first I was very skeptical about this guy. I said: Ok and now what? One more room reverb... Ok, lets try it...
After some hours I realized that by using it in REVERB mode, it's simply THE BEST plugin room reverb (compared with great hardware units). It's just amazing!
But OWS it's not only this. Experiment (as much as better) REMIC mode and you will see... or better, you will hear. Great depth manipulation and instruments' separation in the mix. A revolutionary tool!

Oceanway is amazing!

This plugin is jaw dropping. A fantastic reverb, and an awesome reamp plugin.

Ocean Way or the Highway!

I was looking for a reverb that was unique and easy to use for a quick demo mix. I started the 14 day demo, and never looked back. This reverb was not only a great sounding tool, but fun to tweak. That may sound weird, but it is true. Got a great deal, used a coupon. What could be better?

Ocean Way to Heavy

Let me start by saying the product is pretty cool. I use it constantly. With that said, my main system is an iMac i7 with 8 cores @ 3.4 Ghz and 32Gb Ram. 2 thunderbolts, 2 800 Firewires, running 2 - UAD-2 DUO's. I have a lot more outboards and pre's, Hot Swap TB raid's and a second system. But this is a review for the Ocean Way Studio plugin. My point - I have ample capacity. The plugin is heavy in DSP. The most efficient way to utilize the plugin is strictly on a Bus, and group your sends. You may get an audio engine failure if you use it on individual tracks. Also you may have to disable the plugin if utilized and recording other tracks, you may have latency. I own Bird Dog Records and running the systems and plugins all the time. - g

Many Things to Love

In the 6 months I've been using this plugin, it has become a staple for my drum sounds. The variety of sounds I can extract is amazing, and the simple interface is idea. It's ALMOST everything I need. I wish it has automatic gain matching for A/B'ing to more intuitively compare. Otherwise I LOVE it.

Ocean way is a winner!

This can seriously change the sound of lower budget rooms! Makes drums and other acoustic instruments come to life! Thanks again for a great sounding product!

Incredible for Film Composing, untouchable!

I am beyond ecstatic with this plugin. I've used altiverb and vienna mir pro as well as many other "high end" convolution type reverbs but none added space like this plugin. And the re-mic is what makes this golden. Load up hollywood strings, if you have it, set mics to the "Mid" setting, so that it's rather dry but not too close, and then place ocean way studios as an insert and play around till you find what you like, it doesn't take long!!! And the thing is it creates the space you need and then if you want the larger than life sound just added some tail reverb such as EWQL spaces or similar on a bus and bring it in till you like it. Get it! There's nothing else that sounds like this.

No joke

This plug is really detailed and special. Took awhile for me to believe the hype, but after a few instances, really find it to be a game breaker. Start with overheads in re-mic and once you get the feel, use it wherever you'd like. A+

Good for reverb but..

Great on an FX return, but I find it a bit overwhelming in Re-Mic mode. It changes the sound drastically, too much so for me. There are probably mix situations where Re-Mic would be appropriate, but I haven't come across one yet. I sent a well mixed dry sampled drum kit through it and tried some Re-Mic presets, and none of the drum ones satisfied. Too roomy, even dialed back.
OTOH, in Reverb mode, it is nice; perhaps nothing a good Convolution reverb can't do with effort, but the mic & room choices make it easy to dial in a good sound. The distance knobs and multiple mic points make it way more flexible than any Convolution verb, and it sounds great.
