If you are running Mac OS Sonoma, DO NOT BUY.
I absolutely LOVE what this reverb is capable of. I started using it on release running Catalina and it worked like a dream. I used it very consistently and quickly fell in love with it. The plugin is very intuitive, and sounds incredible when utilized tastefully. I had no issues running 10+ instances of this on my system (iMac mid 2020 Retina 5k, 3.6 GHz 10 Core i9, 128 Gigs Ram running Logic Pro X)
**HOWEVER**
I just recently updated my system to Mac OS Sonoma, and now this plug-in is basically unusable. There some CRITICAL issue with the compatibility of this plug-in and Sonoma. The GUI has become unbearably sluggish. It takes 30+ seconds to update ANY changes, and the controls do not respond to input 90 percent of the time. I'm extremely disappointed that UA has not resolved this issues yet.
I still use this plug-in because I love the way it sounds, but it has become a major hindrance in my workflow, and for that reason I cannot recommend it AT ALL at this time. (unless you are NOT on Sonoma.)
Please fix this!! :(

Sound City Studios would be just awesome if it ran on UAD-2 hardware, but native it's unusable :(
Sound City Studios sounds awesome, but I can only run one instance of this plugin on my PC ( i7 10700k, 64 GB RAM, Cubase Pro 13). This makes it unusable. PLEASE make it available for UAD-2 hardware!

Awful CPU performance on Windows
Is basically unusable for me in windows. Uses WAY too much CPU. If I could get a refund I would. Seems UAD plugs have CPU problems with windows...

Game Changer plug-in for small/bedroom studio producers
Sound City Studios is currently my favourite plug-in of all UAD plugins (or ATR 102 plugin). This plugin is essential for small studio/bedroom producers. Try it!!!

Very good Room emulation
Very good room emulation. The included effects provide fast and excellent results whether it is for demo or professional recordings.

Basically unusable on an M1
So I tried this just now on one of my Macs (M1 Mac Mini - I know not top of the line, but it is not a base model either). Generally the M1 performs incredibly well, I can run very demanding limiters, stuff like Gullfoss, huge session etc. all no problem (including other great sounding reverbs). Inserting this on a return takes almost a full core, in some sessions instantly causing a system overload in Logic 11 (macOS Sonoma). The UI is laggy and doesn't react properly to anything (also a tell for what an incredible resource hog this is) - After roughly 30 seconds the UI "stabilises" and you're able to change parameters in the UI like expected. I think this plugin is designed to work in a way, where you load like 2-4 instances (ideally even more) and place your sources like they were recorded in those rooms, but even on a more powerful machine you're going to notice how incredibly inefficient both the processing and the graphic interface are. I mean it does sound great, but so does the VSS3 which is a very old algorithm, but that old algorithm just performs 1000 times better. I love the idea, I hate the execution - There is no way that this would have to be so much more resource hungry than lets say the Capitol Chambers (which I can easily run multiple instances of on the same Mac) - And this explains why there is no DSP version.. the UAD DSP is probably waaaaaaaaaay too slow for this. Would have loved to love this but sadly its a hard pass.

Amazing for my Home Drum Studio
This plugin offers amazing possibilities, and is perfect for adding scale to my 20 raw drum stems, which I capture, with 10 of them being outboard channels of Neve 1073 style preamps, for that analogue flavour. This pairs up perfectly with the UA Distressor plugin in the recording chain I find. But do love to mess with the compressor options within the Sound City plugin too.

Probably the best room emulators out there!
It surprised me how realistic and immersive this room plug in is. Its been a stable for my mixes recently. Especially since most drums I record are in a smaller, quiet room. Which is good, cause its flexiable, especially when using this plugin. Its very CPU hungry, but worth it. There are also a learning curve with it, but very easy to grasp when given the time. I’m excited to hear what new technology will bring us later on, but this is a must have right now.

Amazing but CPU hungry!
It's an amazing plugin, the sound sculpting possibilities are phenomenal BUT it eats CPU like a monster so forget about putting in on everything if You don't have a hi-end computer.

It was what I was looking for
When I was producing music and I couldn't get a sound source that I was satisfied with, I had half-given up thinking that I would have to buy a new sound source.
He was a savior.
It's the best.
UAD plugin is the best.
Thank you‼

Excellent Product
I've for years admired UA products but was never able to afford their hardware based products. Now that they offer software plugins, I'm thrilled. I recently purchased the Sound City Plugin and it is outstanding. Exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend this product!

Perfect for small room studios.
Sound City is the perfect plugin for anyone like me, that has small drum room,(3x3x3), as dead as possible to avoid any annoying reflections, to add space and realism to your recordings.

Putting tracks in the same space
I bought this product in the midst of working on a country rock track. I record in a small home studio, with only vocals as audio tracks and the rest virtual instruments from various developers. I was curious if this Sound City Studios could help me put all the disparate sources in the same virtual space, while also fitting my specific song and recording. After experimenting with the plugin (mostly in re-mic mode) on a few tracks, I ended up going back to the original recordings for all tracks and using SCS to try and simulate all tracks having been recorded in the same space after initially using other plugins to remove the built-in ambience from my vocals. My PC is one I built back in 2014 and far from state-of-the-art, and I can only get a few instances of SCS operating in parallel, so there was a lot of rendering of tracks to audio with the plugin to come up with new "basic tracks" (i.e. the equivalent of what might have been recorded live in a real studio prior to mixing), but I feel the result was ultimately worth it, and I expect to use this quite a bit in the future.
