Studio D Chorus

Get rich texture and shimmer with legendary studio hardware.

Now you can give your guitars, drums, synths, and vocals the same stunning analog modulation textures of the iconic vintage rack gear — with the push of a button.
Create rich spatial effects on guitars, drums, and synths
Add openness to background vocals and strings
Experience glorious space and depth with “all buttons” mode
Enhance tracks and add interest without obviously affecting signals

Add Thickness and Width to Anything
Just like the vintage hardware, use Studio D Chorus' push buttons in any combination for a colorful palette of subtle thickening. Engage all four buttons at once and you get a beautiful chewy modulation texture that works on any instrument.
Create Movement and Interest
Make simple guitar/vocal arrangements sound deeper and more interesting, or quickly gel groups of strings and vocals — without compression, EQ, or reverb. For floating guitar textures and synth pads, the Studio D Chorus plug‑in simply can’t be beat.
“The Studio D Chorus plug-in excels at adding analog-style chorus effects to my mixes, ranging from subtle widening to full-blown psychedelic, super-wide washy chorusing.”
– Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater)
“The UAD Studio D Chorus plug-in is a wonderful tool. It can add additional layers to the stereo image of synths or background vocals. It makes your music feel multidimensional.”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Estelle)
“My presets for the Studio D plug-in are so good, I actually use them myself.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“I used the original hardware on so many of the Culture Club tracks in the ’80s, it became part of their signature sound. ”
– Steve Levine (Culture Club, Beach Boys, Honeyz)
“The UAD Studio D Chorus made my outboard unit obsolete, but it still looks great in my rack.”

Great definition, not many options
Could have been made with different modulation options but still solid

Studio D Chorus
UAD User
Has UAD removed the Roland Dimension D plugin for this?
I demoed the Roland Dimension D a month or so ago and absolutely loved it. Super authentic to its vintage gear version. After my demo expired, I clicked the shopping cart to buy it, but was redirected to this. Not only that, I can't find Dimension D anywhere on the site. The Dimension D plugin hasn't been removed from the current collection, but there seems to be no way to purchase it without be directed here. I fully agree with another reviewer — this is obviously not the same. If this is actually replacing the Roland plugin, I will be very upset. UAD: Please address this issue.

Not the Roland
So I demoed the Roland D and liked it . Purchased the classic fx bundle to find out it doesn’t even come with the Roland d but instead uad’s studio d , which doesn’t have the depth the Roland branded version has .

Thought I was getting the Roland ?
I demoed the Roland dimension d and really liked how musical and sample accurate it was . So I purchased the classic fx bundle thinking I was getting the Roland dimension d plug in and ended with the uad version . I could tell right away the depth I was getting with the Roland was missing . I was so disappointed I emailed uad about it and they basically told me they were sonically the same , but I know that isn’t true because i have ears and could tell right away that the uad version smeared the transients and lacked in depth . I feel ripped off .

Killer Plugin for Producing Rock and Metal
This is a magical plugin when I am producing rock and metal songs. It adds depth and creativity to my rock and metal productions by adding subtle shifts of the vocal, guitar or keyboard tone and width. Love that it's dirt cheap too!

Gives Vocals stereo width and a sense of depth
Very good
D. Northern
Amazing!!!
I put this on the vocals and it sounds killer!!! I then put it on my mixbus and I was shocked at the smoothness of the sound. Top notch!!!!
M. Indovina
Incredible on vocals
If you're ever looking to make your tracks sound wider, look no further than this plugin. Place it on background vocals, and all of a sudden, they support your lead vocals so perfectly. Got keys that need a little more separation from the rest of the mix? Throw this on and your mix will feel bigger and better. I use this on every mix.

Nice one
Having used Waves version for some time, I finally got to buying the UAD one. And what a difference! Way more subtle and elegant, but even more effective.
