Great, but why native only?
This is a fantastic plugin that goes beyond just being a room emulation, but it's a DSP sucker! Please release a UAD-Apollo version so I can take advantage of the expensive interface and satellite I purchased specifically to lighten the load on my CPU.

A white elephant
Sound: fenomenal. Absolutely no notes
Sadly, in practice it's virtually useless as it swallows your CPU like nothing i've ever seen in all of my career. Even my heaviest mastering plugins ain't got nothing on this frivolous bauble. Just a real dang shame. Luckily i bought it on a sale but i feel bad for people who pay top dollar for Sound City Studio. Brand loyalty: damaged

Try it…
…it may be a good fit, it may not, but dragging down the star rating over UAD’s current marketing strategy doesnt give anyone insight into the plugin itself.
Which for me is great! So far I have only been using it on drums but after experimenting with different configurations I found it enhanced my drum sound and gave me insight into why certain records recorded there sounded the way they did.
I can’t ask for more than that.

Convincing extension to my small recording rooms.
My drum cabin is really small but good sounding and this plugin is the perfect extension. The clue is the feature list, like mic moving flexibility, eq, and there's a big thump up for the compressor curves. The GUI is fun to work with.

You need this!
This is one of my most exciting plugins to put on a track that doesn't really have much character on. Plus gradually mixing it in on a bus can really add some nice glue to the sound

Simply Amazing.
This is pure gold.
when you don’t have the possibility to record a source in a proper room, or if your room is too dry, too small, if you need a better 3D definition and the ability to put anything anywhere..and you don’t want to spend hours on tweaking any convolution tool parameters, stay focused on the music..
well, i think that tool might be the answer.
It is to me anyway.
Brilliant !

Love it!
Now I sound like Dave Grohl! Nice.

Can’t wait to hear it
Doesn’t want to load. Seems to have a licensing bug that won’t let it load. Still waiting for tech support to fix that

Great plugin… needs an update to help your CPU
This is an amazing plugin that is wayyyyy more than a reverb plugin. With this in mind, it is still WAY too cpu intensive for more than a few instances even on M2 Pro silicon hardware. Unacceptable for the price and native only specifics. I sincerely hope this gets updated to reduce strain.

Super realistic room sound
I really cannot understand reviewers here who hear weird phasing and nulling issues. The sound of this plugin is superb. Super punchy drums, every instrument I run through this simulation just sounds better and fits in the mix suddenly. CPU usage is surprisingly low in my opinion, and native only is absolutely no problem for me. someone wrote there's an unpleasant boom with kick drums... well I think that's exactly what this studio sounds like and what it's famous for. I don't think that UA thought: let's just put in some weird and bad sounding boominess in this haha..
All in all, this one is really really amazing and instantly replaced Ocean Way and various sources. Well done UA

Great, but CPU heavy
I love it, great way to add space and depth into your mix

It's Sound City!
What's not to love! Very pleased so far and totally excited to have a little bit of Sound City in my recordings... Magic! For me a dream emulation .

The desire to produce is increased tenfold.
I really felt like I was in the studio making sounds. It's just fun. The value of this plug-in is very high.

Holy buckets.
Sounds great on drums and guitar re-amping.

AMAZING
I have no issue with the cost what a insane plugin
j. smith
It’s awesome
It legitimately sounds like recording in a large room. It makes drums sound huge, acoustics sounds spacious, and the cabs are great for electric guitar. It won’t be the right thing for every track in the mix, but definitely a good tool to have in the box.

This will open the window on your mixes. Iconic again. It is native only so you’ll need to download UADx.

A great room
I'm still discovering its potential, but so far so good. It's the room ambience I always wanted to achieve with convolution reverb, but it's also a lot more thanks to the re-mic option, which is not something I'll always use, but it's been great with piano and sax.

Grandes resultados
Aunque no la recomiendo para todo, si que necesita tiempo para saber si su aplicación es correcta. En este caso no me han servido los presets, he tenido que configurar el plug-in a mis necesidades. Para instrumentos como Baterias, no he notado una mejoría al instante, para voces, guitarras y piano, me ha gustado mucho. Pero recomiendo dedicarle tiempo ya que las mejoras que aporta pueden ser muy buenas.
