Depth into your sounds
I really like this plugin! Because: it makes my sounds feel like they were recorded in a nice studio, it helps me get that 3D style of mix putting some sounds in the back some in the mid and front, you can also put it in the master channel and blend your mix with the wet and dry knob just to get that special depth, also I like that it doesn't have those annoying ringing highs in the reverb, it's a nice one to get!

None better
There is no better reverb or convolution plugin out there. I wouldn't even call this a reverb plugin because it is so much more than that. It has so much capability and the re-mic function is astounding. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

Excellent sound
Love this room. Having a small bedroom for my studio you can imagine what its like to step into a world class room for my projects. Just loading up old projects and feeling the instant upgrade in reverb or mic placement. Unreal. Cool.

The best "room" i ever bought
From the first moment i started to tweak sliders and buttons, i knew i made a good investment in my studio/production setup.
As a reverb on a bus you can use it in a verry subtile way, and it all sounds and feels amazingly natural. In "Remic" mode this plug-in is a "killer", it changes the sound of your instrument in a verry drastic way. Sometimes you will frown and skip the idea right away, but sometimes...!!! You will be blown away and realize that this is exactly the atmosphere and vibe your song or mix needs. Verry inspirational plug-in.
Me likes a lot. So, 5 stars it is.

Natural As The Real Thing
Again coming from Waves plugs, this is the closest thing to the real thing. I keep finding myself trying to make it sound like what I'm used to, but then I realize I have to almost deprogram myself. You won't be dissappointed.

Adds room to dead tracks
Really pleased with this plugin. The depth it adds to what could be a dry / dead track is phenomenal.

A Real Room, not just another Reverb
The Ocean Way Studios plug-in is a great piece of software. The plug-in provides a sound you would expect from micing up a beautifully treated room, not from you plug-in. It sure is not just another reverb plug-in in the list, it feels like an actual room you can position your instruments in. Functionality and usability of the software are outstanding and the sound is as real as it gets. The only downside is the massive processing power it needs. At 24/96 you only get one instance per DSP. For serious mixing applications you should be equipped with an OCTO card at least.

Excellent
I work in my small home studio in France, and now i can record my drums in L.A without take a plane.
Give warm and air to my drums, my virtual strings and horns and vocals.
The only negative thing is it use a lot of DSP.

Sounds of perfection
It is amazing to be able to record with a sound just like the bands would use at Ocean way studios.
This plugin is amazing.

Very Impressed
In 2 weeks, I am just scratching the surface with the UAD- Ocean Way plug-in. The obvious problem with project studios is the lack of coherent space in the individual tracks and in the overall mix. Ocean Way offers a great way to bring big studio space to small studios. I is very well thought out, and sounds amazing, and I haven't even tried a surround mix yet (I am retired from orchestrating and conducting, often in large sound stages). It is not a 'one-size-fits-all' plug-in, and you need to know what you are doing. You also have to take the time to learn the spaces and mics offered and how to implement them in your particular situation. That said, I believe this is the single most ground-breaking plug-in I have ever worked with.

BETTER THAN MY LEX!!!
I bought my first Lexicon reverb about 6 months ago. After using the reverbs in Studio One, Pro Tools, Ableton, Reason (and various free ones), I was blown away! It had sweet, smooth reverbs that made everything sound good. What could be better?
Umm....OCEAN WAY STUDIOS plugin, that's what! I love the sound of this plugin....and it's more than just a reverb. I've never been to Ocean Way, but I HAVE been to Abbey Road and this plug is what I imagine OWS to be.....simply AWESOME sounding! Controlled, but natural reverb at its best. Oh, and the reamping bit with other mic choices is brilliant!!!!
Thank you UA (and Ocean Way) for sharing these amazing spaces in an easy-to-use plugin. I'm in heaven!

Big Band recorded in a Small Room
I am finishing an album on an 18-piece big band, recorded in my very small, very dead studio, one section at a time. I've been struggling with the mix trying to get the right ambience. I've tried a variety of reverbs, but have not been totally happy until now. This plugin is the perfect secret sauce for this project. All of a sudden, we sound like we're all playing together in a great sounding room. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Sound good but stability still absolutely terrible
While I really like the sound of this plugin and find it unique in my workflow, I wish UAD would focus on fixing their firewire drivers !!!
I have good days and bad days with my UAD quad satellite but on the bad days I spend more time restarting my computer than working.
the UAD forum has a long thread about many peoples frustrations with error 98 messages and it seems I am not alone
The ethnical support I was receiving gave up in the end which was rather disappointing
I have ordered a Sonnet Allegro (75 euros !! ) to try and alleviate these problems but I have them with my laptop too
I have over $5000 worth of plugins from UAD but on many days if I want to get something done I don't bother to use any of them as they are so unreliable

goood
There are convolution verbs out there that sound great, and if your source was recorded with the right way, this probably gets you close to the 100%. However if you are dealing with a lot of virtual instruments that sound "ok" but not "real", in the end it is only going to sound like an "unreal" instrument with a nice verb.
This plug makes it sound real to me. You have all flexibility to tweak the sound to your taste. -1 star for resource consumption, please make an SE version.

I didn't believe this would work.
I was skeptical with this plugin. I didn't think it would sound like room mice but more like a reverb. I figured it was going to be a very high quality reverb but not mice in a room. I was wrong. I can use these as room mics and treat them as such. No more trying to mask the room I recorded in with heavy EQ/ Compression/ FX I will just pull this plugin up and so many of my problems are gone. Well done UA.

Ocean Way Studios plugin review
In short, it sounds great. I'm finding myself getting the most use from it on drums, often compressing the return like I would with "real" room mics. It's definitely the best room reverb plug in my collection.
