Great Ambience Reverb. Sounds like great records
Using this through UAD spark has been a treat. I was originally confused by the layout but a YouTube video quickly helped me out and now my drums, vox, guitars, and bass sound way more alive and more like a record without much fuss. Only complaint is that I appear to be affected by the CPU bug spike as well. Really hope this gets fixed soon as I’d love to use this as a new go to reverb but can’t at the moment due to this issue. Well done though overall!

Why not Apollo enabled?
Amazing plugn, but I don't know the descision behind not making it apollo enabled? Why invest in DSP power when you can't use it.......

Must have for drums
Utilizing Sound City Re-Mic on drums from various drummers around the world, I'm getting consistent and phenomenal drums sounds. It's a must have for me.

clear wide
プラグインのリバーブは機械的な音が多い中、こちらはスタジオでの輪郭を加えるとても良い印象です。

Great Sound CPU Intensive
This plug-in sounds amazing! However, it's so CPU intensive that I'm only able to use one or two instances. CPU spiking occurs all the time and I'm experiencing stuttering when I play back my track. I am unable to use the chamber or compression effects because of the CPU issues. Please fix this problem. Once fix this plugin will be amazing.

Sounds come to life
The amount of life that gives this plugin to your tracks is amazing. It's easy to overdoit, but from subtle sound city space emulation, to extreme 3d production tool this has served me great.
The one downside it's the CPU usage, but I understand the price my CPU has to pay to get that space emulation with all the extra tools.

Whats the problem? 2013 mac runs it no issue. Sounds great
Everyone complaining about cpu issues with this plug in. Im running a late 2013 imac 27" with 32gb ddr3 , intel i5 , 1 terabyte HDD, and i have absolutely no issues with multiple instances going. On a 49 track song, with 59 other plug ins. Maybe ill get an overdrive warning but thats if 20 windows are left open (gpu issue) this is the reason im not upgrading to the m series cpu, somethings fishy if a decade old computer runs these fine. AND IT SOUNDS AMAZING. Considering getting a year more of spark because im just starting to fully utilize the potential. Makes drums amazing, just be sure to multitrack - loserdub

Gorgeous sound and interface but way too CPU intensive
LUNA Pro struggles to open session with 2 instances of Sound City on my MacBook Pro M1

Adds life to boring tracks.
With this plug in. I’m able to make to make a recording sound like record!

Very good sound, totally unusable
As other users have stated, the CPU usage is insane. Even one instance causes spikes. The sound is good though. But this isn't ordinary high CPU usage, it's a bug. Spikes occur when touching mouse or dialling in the SC controls. Gave me visons of very early windows programs. Pity cause it has new possibilities, more than Ocean Way in my opinion. Repair it or give me my money back.

Famous Ambience
I am using a lot of virtually Instruments like Keyboards and Drums.
The Sound City Studios Plug-In gives them more live and room. Very nice.

You don’t know mixing
I just placed this on 3 instruments in my track. Wow. Anyone who says this sounds bad simply doesn’t know how to mix. The plugin is a solid 10 out of 5 stars. I’ve never put it on a track an decided not to go with it. Once it’s opened it goes on everything.

Just the right space
I’ve used Sound City Studios plug on guitars, drums, vocals , and more. Gives the perfect controlled spatial texture of a recording studio… perfectly controlled bleed… totally manipulable!! With a great choice of classic microphones!! Love this plug!!

Great Room Emulation
Way more flexible than Ocean Way and the included effects chain really makes a huge difference !

Klingt unglaublich echt
Es ist wahrscheinlich das beste Raumsimulationsplugin, das ich in meinen 15 Jahren Audio-Produktion benutzt hab.
Ich wünschte, dass UAD die plugininternen Effekte, speziell hier die Compressor-Sektion, als Standalone anbieten würde.
Ad CPU:
Es stimmt schon, Sound City Studios wird etwas in die Jahre gekommene Computer recht schnell an ihre Grenzen bringen. Hat man aber eine relativ neue Workstation (13900K- in meinem Studio) konnte ich keinerlei Probleme hinsichtlich CPU feststellen. Ich hatte 7 Instanzen des Plugins in einem MIx mit über 80 Spuren gefahren. CPU Auslastung mit dem Plugin (7Stück) knapp 30 %. Ohne 24 %.
Am M3 Max im Home-Setup siehts ähnlich aus. Keine Probleme bisher.
Für mich: Top!

Great but takes a lot of CPU
This is really cool but when you have a lot of plugins loaded, this one just kills my CPU and makes my project's sound breaking a lot. i7 10th gen + 64ram + ssd. Cannot be used in complex projects.
