Wow!!
Everything I was looking for in line Acoustic Guitar recording was here!
J. Mateo
It's fantastic
I don't understand all the hateful comments on this thing. I use it almost every time I have a live show where the guitarist uses a DI for his acoustic. and once you learn the plugin and how it works you can dial in extremally realistic sounds.

Just take my money
Best thing that happened to my acoustic guitar since buying better acoustic guitar. I have very little room adaptation, so when i need different sound than nice ambient i have to record acoustic in line - which doesnt sound too good. Now with woodworks it actually sounds amazing, like a real thing. Also just playing through it through apollo is just amazing again

Better than any amp sim or (FX) chain for acoustic instruments
I bought a lot of amp sims from everyone. And I can make a lot of (FX) chains. However, I have yet to hear any acoustic track sound better when it goes through Sound Machine Wood Works. It's quick. It's effective. And there's a lot of selectable tonal variations. I don't write many reviews. Here's one. Straightforward.

Just what i needed
I have an idea and want to get it dfown fast but i dont have time to setup mic's etc for the recording. This little plugin gets me a good sound straight from the piezzo pickup that i cam work with.

Make sure you try the demo first
My first reaction for this plugin was disappointment but then i started to work with it with making my own acoustic impulses after Wood Works in the chain. I ended up getting some good tones using it. Just be aware, you will NEVER make a Piezo sound exactly like a mic'd acoustic but you can get it close. In a dense mix no one would know. If you are a singer songwriter, just acoustic and voice, it will show its flaws i would not recommend it for this scenario. I'm quite pleased with it but equally feel it could have been done better as you have to put a lot of work in with other effects to make it shine and not everyone will have the skill set to do that. Just make sure you try the demo first

More Useful Than You Expect
Great on acoustic DI signals as intended, but I've been experimenting with Wood Works on lots of other sources with cool results: A Kala U-Bass turned into a big upright, a flat fretless J-Bass DI sounded like a mic'd acoustic, and a mic'd glockenspiel track mellowed and warmed in a magical way. Very cool plug.

Excellent for expanding sonic pallette
It's a hidden gem! It can make an impromptu recording a solid start as a useable track for a finished song- all without time consuming studio setup. It can also make a single acoustic sound like a vast collection to create a wide guitar chorus. With WW, every song can have a different sounding lead acoustic. All the magic can be changed post recording, or "baked in." Finally, for a singer-song writer it's a great tool. No more recording-producing worries holding you back from writing- just plug in and start strumming! Get a huge variety of thick acoustic guitar sounds with or without a traditional mic setup!

Pretty useless, extremely overpriced
This plugin takes white noise, amplifies it and colors into disturbing noise. Only useful if you have very low noise instrument. Most of the budget must have gone into the superb graphics.

Just what I need!
For my nylon acoustic guitar and even my electric guitars there are now many possibilities for recording and so I'm very content with this plugin!
P. Tryding
Well
Not one of UAs best. Faking real acoustic miced up in a room is very hard. This is proves that point again. Now… get the Neve 1073/84 instead. Thats crazy good.
Y. Zolberg
So brilliant!!
Bringing back to life my old recordings. I once used a guitar recorded with a smartphone and the result was very surprising! I do not know of any other plugin that knows how to do this

Great Tool
It has a lot of different instrument choices. It's like having a locker full of acoustic guitars. Great sounds, I foresee using this a lot.
A. Paulick-Thiel
Great for a specific use
This tool actually works wonders to fix those "plunky" DI acoustic guitar signals. I'm currently using it while remixing some old live recordings – and I'm really pleased! I will surely use it again to make scratch takes and home-demos sound much better, or any time replacing a DI acoustic guitar just doesn't vibe with the live take. I've been trying it on other "abrupt" direct signals, like drum machines or certain percussive synth sounds, to see if it brings in some "wood" or "physicality", though so far it only works impressively for DI acoustic guitars. Would it work well on a DI for a double-bass? I haven't tried yet. Wood Works is a very specific tool, which is amazing for its intended purpose should you need it.

With silent guitare from Yamaha
It does really add that extra real accoustic body in a natural way. The result is just great. I think by the way, that this is the best use case. I'm glad I did buy it. Good job guys!
J. SCOTLAND
Great mic'd acoustic sounds without the hassle!
Brilliant! I use this with my silent acoustic guitar and Apollo solo. The sounds is very realistic and quick to set up. Monitoring the sound has no noticable latency, which makes it a lot of fun to monitor while recording.
S. Verlaguet
Really efficient
Wonderful plugin espacially if you record an acoustic guitar using a piezo instead of using mics. The sound"palette" is very large, the sound very realistic , it is perfect in the mix. very useful and very efficient in many situation, love it., really nice tool

Taming a Difficult child
This works so well when you have that difficult guitar that has some stubborn issues that need to be calmed and nurtured turning problem child into saint

Essential for home recording with acoustic
No need to set up mics, plug in and start recording. I absolutely love how easy this makes it to get inspiration recorded without messing about setting things up. Good variety of tonal options, some options sound to me like old mono recordings, real vibey and warm
