wheels falling off
Sounds great. But what's the point when I can hardly run on instance without it cracking up. lowered buffer ect. running one track, a dry drummer loop in logic just testing it out. I thought it was both uad and native..why ! ?

Fantastic plugin.

Very successful and useful plugin!
Similar to Ocean Studios, a very successful replica of the spatial reflections. I can't judge whether the original room acoustics are actually displayed accurately. But the spatiality that can be created, assuming a space that is as acoustically neutral as possible during the recording, is impressive and melodious. The effect can be adjusted quite precisely via the various parameters.

Mindblowingly amazing
This is one of the best plugins UAD has ever made. No less than that. When I checked it out for the first time I immediately remembered the great Bruce Sweden, who said the words that disappointed so many of us: Reverbs will never be able to give you the real early reflections that come from a real room. But it is true! And he added, that he uses reverb with long pre delays only to preserve the room reflections recorded with the signal. But where to get room reflections from a good room when you do not have one? This is where this plug in comes in. It can really add to the recording what a reverb will never be able to do.
Thanks to UAD. This plugin has just been a pure joy so far.

It's release only Native Version, OK.
I'd love for you to consider this, but please allow me to load it into Insert in the UA apollo's Console. If you can do that, 5 stars.

Democratizing sound !
it would be a dream that UAD got The Abbey Roads studios

Absolutely beautiful tones. Kills cpu though

Solo acoustic guitar?
Sorry - I just don't get all the great reviews on this. I recorded a solo steel string guitar here in my home studio (certainly not the greatest acoustics) - thought I'd try the SCS plugin to give myself a more professional sounding polish of a nice recording room - and to honest, it sounded awful. I've love to know if I'm doing something inherently wrong, because in general I love my UAD plugs. My natural room sound is so much better... I just don't get it - sorry!

Just Like I Remembered It
I moved to LA at the end of 1973. By mid 1974 I was working with Buddy Miles as a guitarist, writing partner, and co-producer.
First session we ever did together was at Sound City Studio A. Playing along with me on that session were Ollie Brown and Ray Parker Jr.
Welcome to LA!
PS The plug-in sounds exactly the same. And, after my working with Keith Olhsson there, I’m very familiar with those micing positions. Great job.

re-mic-ing,
“re-mic-ing” technique was used already in ‘80s. and now we can do it on a laptop(super cool!!). I tried on a piano track and also on string quartet (4 instruments grouped), the results are both fabulous. it gives the sound “life” and “presence”. this is incontestably my “plugin of the year” and certainly for years coming…… thank you UAD!!
J. Cruz
Amazing!
It gives a professional studio vibe to your home recordings, I thought that wasn't possible but this plugin does exactly that.
B. Lehaney
Awesome sound
Love the sound, and so much fun to experiment with.

Be prepared for some investment in time...
This has a lot going on under the hood and I think is capable of some great sounds. Certainly I was able to get a lovely mono>stereo sound for acoustic guitar with a single mic source. However I also found it slowed me down due to option overload. Plus, it is moderately hard work for my few year old Imac . I found myself reverting to more familiar plugins (UAD as often as not) to get my project done. A WIP for me...

Now please do an Apollo version
After buying into the UAD DSP ecosystem, I don't love that I am forced to use precious CPU resources to run this on my computer. The results sound amazing though and really allow for some creative experimentation in the sound field.

Whoops!
CPU sucker … almost make it useless… only way I can use it is by processing after the fact no real time processing … I do get decent results but the fact that I doesn’t work Apollo really sucks… I have an octo card but it’s useless with native… for that I give it 2 thumbs down
R. Nicholas Jr
Much needed space!!
This plugin has made its way to every session since I purchased it! The sound of the room is not overwhelming at all.

Unreal
Just an unbelievable way to change tone and space with ease, and with such realism. Compressor is a very special addition. Can be CPU hungry so judicious use is a necessity, but this takes stale samples or recordings and breathe new life into the sound in a number of creative ways.
