UAD Sound City Studios Plug‑In

Very nice reverb

Its a good one

One word

Stunning!

Stunning Sound

This space sounds stunning. Please port this to UAD as well, so we can offload CPU.

Impressive Studio Recording Simulator

Unable to reach this recording studio sound without this plugin!
Interesting to compare with Ocean Way Studios,Sound City Studios has much more instruments opptions and clear sounds to me.
It's beautiful!

Great plugin

Great room sim

Sounds amazing!

I bought this to use with drums to create a drum room sound. I used as a send return effect and used a send on the overheads. Worked like a charm. If you want a really big rock drum room sound, look no further. It sounds absolutely amazing. You can kinda that big John Bonham room sound with it which is excellent. Of course you can get much more a lot a tame room sound just by tweaking it. Small, huge, and everything in between. I had a chorus for song that was like 6 tracks of yelling. Very heavy rock track and I wanted that chorus section to really sound like a group of people in a large room. Again this did the job phenomenally. I can say I highly recommend this plugin. Don’t hesitate.

Makes the Signature Bundle a no-brainer at the sale price

An excellent room reverb but can be a CPU hog and requires internet connection

This is a set of great impulse responses at its core, so credit to the engineers for that; they are truly fantastic and the re-mic mode is pretty slick. Instant, cohesive space to glue stuff together.

However, I personally don't find the eye-candy, the dynamics or the EQ sections very useful and the chamber reverb is a CPU slayer. I wish there were a lite version that omitted all the bloat and just gave us the incredible room impulses. I have a modern PC with a fast CPU and loads of RAM, and this plugin on just 2 channels uses over 40% of the CPU; enabling the chamber effect on each of them requires a buffer size of at least 1024 samples!

Oh, and it requires an internet connection to load. Boo.

Inspiring

Thanks to everyone who has been involved and contributed to this work to bring a space that you cannot even imagine being in, to your fingertips, to your monitor. The product is incredible. The CPU utilization is not as extraordinary as some forums say.

Great sound, heavy on resources

This plugin sounds amazing. It does however take up a lot of CPU. I have a pretty decent computer, but in a new project I can not load more than three instances of the plugin without my computer running into trouble. So probably need to print the track on the go, only use a few of these, or have a bulky machine ready.

Final verdict

This is the absolute BEST sounding convolution reverb ever made. Every time I use it the track sounds significantly better. Also my computer is a 2013-2014 Mac book. I can run about 4 of these in a session with a moderate amount of other plugins. How old are computers that can only run one instance? If you are not happy with the effect of this plugin on your CPU, see it as a chance to improve your mixing skills. This plugin has been teaching me how to get great mixes with fewer plugins. It has also been teaching me how to commit and bounce tracks with cpu heavy plugins. Innovation comes at a cost and I refuse to let my old computer hinder it.

Damn.

Just damn.

The Best

The Best Big Sound ⭐️

Adds depth and substance

Very realistic.

Perfection!

So much fun with these on room mics…elevating sound

Just the best room reverb plugin every created

UAD Sound City Studios is without a doubt the best Room reverb plugin every created. I have used it on Drums, pianos, guitars, vocals, Strings, brass and synthesisers over the past few weeks and the dimension it adds is second to none. in both Remic and Reverb mode it is so useful and has such a wonderful tone. Truly a Game Changer

Great Home Studio tool.

Is great to have the ability to run home recordings through a professionally treated studio simulation.

REAL AND GOOD

REAL AND GOOD

flexibility

The flexibility I was waiting for a reverb, and the re-creation of a mythik place for music. AMAZING TOOL

This Plug-in is MASSIVE

I've only just begun to dip my toes in with this plug but the possibilities seem endless. My favourite section so far is actually the EQ. Be warned it is not subtle but the curves are amazing. The compressor section is nice as well. The room itself is the best and most realistic emulation I have ever heard. Try just putting this on your 2 buss to give your entire mix some depth.
