Universal Audio Ocean Way Studios

soundonsound.com

Universal Audio's UAD Ocean Way Studios Plug-In impresses with its ability to bring a professional studio's acoustics to home recordings. The meticulous modeling of Ocean Way's rooms and vintage microphones, alongside Allen Sides' presets, offers users a versatile tool for adding depth and spatial realism to their tracks. While the plug-in excels in re-creating a sense of space, the limited sound source options might restrict some users' creativity. Ultimately, this plug-in stands out for its unique approach to room modeling, making it a valuable asset for those seeking to enhance their recordings with a touch of studio magic.

Universal Audio's Ocean Way Studios Plug-In shines as a standout tool that transcends typical room emulation. By combining convolution with algorithmic techniques, it delivers an authentic studio sound that transforms recordings into immersive acoustic experiences. The versatility in mic placement and source options, from drums to strings, allows for detailed customization, making it invaluable for enhancing recordings made in less-than-ideal environments. While the interface could benefit from a resizable design, this minor flaw doesn't overshadow the plug-in's impressive ability to emulate one of the greatest recording studios. Highly recommended for those seeking unparalleled realism in their mixes.

From Andrew's blog post about special pug ins, where he illustrates the tools he uses for specific tasks in production. "I've had Ocean Way for a couple years and I'm still so pleasantly surprised every time I use it. It seems to completely transport recordings into different, and much nicer sounding environments. It's been a lifesaver when the tone of an acoustic instrument hasn't landed quite right, and it's also great in place of a reverb when you're looking to create spaces that are small but not totally dead."

Used for the bass track on "Beggin", as described by Alessandro Marcantoni in this October 2021 Sound on Sound interview.

“I kept the bass in place with the UAD 1176LN E, and it also has a send to the Room aux, which has a UAD Ocean Way room reverb. I added compression to the guitar tracks with the UAD LA‑2A S, and there are sends to the Hall aux, with a UAD Lexicon 224, on the two main guitar tracks. The two guitar tracks that I pulled out for the B sections have sends to the Hall and to the Chorus aux, which has a UAD Studio D Stereo Chorus.”
