Ocean Way Studios — das weltweit erste Plug-In mit dynamischer Raummodellierung.
Das Ocean Way Studios Plug-In wurde von Universal Audio und Allen Sides für die UAD-2 Hardware und Apollo Interfaces entwickelt. Seine akustische Raumemulation eröffnet völlig neue Anwendungsoptionen.
Durch die Kombination aus Emulationen von Räumen, Mikrofonen und Quellsignalen geht Ocean Way Studios weit über die Möglichkeiten von Standard-Hallgeräten – mit oder ohne Impulsantworten – hinaus. Deine Hände liegen auf den Reglern der authentischen Nachbildung eines der weltweit berühmtesten Tonstudios.Jetzt kannst Du:
Live in den legendären Studios A und B der Ocean Way Studios aufnehmen oder diese für deinen Mix verwenden
Die “Besten der Besten” Vintage-Mikrofone aus Allen Sides’ weltberühmter Sammlung einsetzen
Mit 8 Quelltypen zwischen den 8 Lieblings-Raumpositionen von Allen Sides auswählen - für einzigartig realistisches Klangstreuungsverhalten
Drei Mikrofonpaare (Positionen: Near / Mid / Far) in Echtzeit positionieren, mischen und berechnen
Re-Mic Loops und Software-Synths, um sie zum Leben zu erwecken
Übersprechen, Nahbesprechungseffekt und andere natürlich vorkommende Phänomene beibehalten und damit auf mehr Parameter zugreifen, als bei anderen Hall-/Raum-Plug-Ins

Das Ocean Way Studios Plug-In erklärt.
Die legendären Räume des Ocean Way
Seit Eröffnung von Bill Putnam’s United Recording im Jahr 1957 über die Eingliederung des benachbarten Western Studio im Jahr 1961 bis hin zur Umbennungen als Ocean Way Recording unter Allen Sides — die berühmten Aufnahmeräume “Studio A” und “Studio B” in den Ocean Way Studios haben den Sound zahlloser, legendärer Aufnahmen geprägt. Von Ray Charles und den Beach Boys über die Rolling Stones und Radiohead - seit mehr als fünf Dekaden sind Musikschaffende in den Klang dieser wunderschön ausgewogenen Räume verliebt.
Dynamic Room Modeling —
Meilenstein der AudiobearbeitungDie Raumberechnung wurde in Ocean Way Studios dank UA's proprietärer Dynamic Room Modeling Technologie neu definiert – eine exklusive Kombination aus Signalverarbeitung und fortschrittlichen Messtechniken. Wo übliche Faltungshall-Reverbs nur einen klanglichen Schnappschuss liefern können, bietet Dynamic Room Modeling das komplette Spektrum der Raummöglichkeiten eines Tonstudios. Dynamic Room Modeling bietet vor allem einzigartige Klangstreuungseigenschaften verschiedener Quellen, wie die Aufnahme über verschiedene Vintage-Mikrofone, die in jedem Raum positioniert werden können — in Echtzeit über eine intuitive Bedienoberfläche. Dank dieser Technologie erhält das Ocean Way Studios Plug-In seinen atemberaubenden Realismus.
Eine beispiellose Mikrofonauswahl
Mit dem virtuellen Zugriff auf eine handverlesene Mikrofonsammlung im Wert jenseits von 250.000 $, bilden die Mikrofonkonfigurationen und Entfernungsregler das Herzstück des Plug-Ins. Die Konfigurationen bilden die idealen Mikrofonzusammenstellungen sowie die idealen Platzierungen für jeden Raum und jede Signalart ab.
Bis zu drei Vintage-Mikrofonpaare (mit Positionen Near, Mid, Far) sind in jedem Setup verfügbar und ermöglichen das kreative Mischen von Klangfarben und -nuancen. Du klickst die Mikrofone an und ziehst sie an die gewünschte Position im Raum, dann bearbeitest du ihren Klang mit EQ und Filtern entsprechend — komplett mit dem Übersprechen zwischen Mikrofonen und allen Nahbesprechungseffekten.
Klangfarben mit Reverb und Re‑Mic Modes wandeln
Ocean Way Studios verfügt über zwei Betriebsarten: Im Reverb Modus benutzt du Send/Return-Pfade zum Mischen von „wet“- und „dry“-Signalen; der Re-Mic Modus hingegen eignet sich dazu, vollständig in die ursprünglichen Quellsignale der Räume im Ocean Way einzutauchen. Der Re-Mic Modus ist naturgemäß “fully wet,” und kann dazu genutzt werden deinen Originalraum und deine Mikrofonsounds vollständig mit dem herausragenden Klang des Ocean Way Studios auszutauschen.
“Ocean Way Studios instantly adds incredible depth, size, width, and vibe to your music. It's like owning a re-amp box for one of the best sounding studios in the world.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“The Ocean Way Studios plug-in sounds so good and has the right amount of flexibility. The workflow mimics the actual choices at the studio very nicely…it sounds authentic and rich — like those rooms with those mics.”
– Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives)
“The Ocean Way Studios plug-in lets me mix with a new sense of space, adding a whole new level of depth to my mixes.”
– Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Fun.)
“Every session I've done at Ocean Way has been an unparalleled experience with amazing results. The plug-in offers an incredible opportunity to realistically add those sonics to any musical project with stunning realism.”
– Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater)
“It’s great to finally be able to add a real room vibe to sounds that otherwise didn't have one. The Ocean Way plug-in helps bring a mix together with depth and space.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“I assumed the UAD Ocean Way Studios was a reverb, but it's way more than that. I've been down the rabbit hole since I installed it and I'm not ready to come out yet.”
– Andrew Scheps (Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Duke Spirit)
“Hearing drums through Ocean Way Studios plug-in is like being transported to Ocean Way! The true sound of Studio A or Studio B applied to anything I want.”
– Chris Dugan (Green Day, Iggy Pop, U2)User-Rezensionen

My new short reverb!
It's rare to hear a room emulation with a short punchy sound which also sounds authentic, but this plugin delivers exactly just that. Fantastic!

Naturally best in high class! Easy to use in bus reverb. Thanks again!

Wow
I've used a lot of plugins, but never one quite like this. In remic mode, the quality of the mic emulations alone is worth the price of admission. The ambience of the room is superb and can be dialed in a number of different ways. Really special.
M. De Carolis
infinite potential
If you want to discover the best UAD Plugin the Ocean Way Studios is the best.
It had an infinite potential, you can do what no one else can give you.
You can create the sound of the ocean way studios simply with a plugin. if you don't believe it, you just have to try.A. Link
Don't know of anything that comes close
I haven't bothered using my UAD plugins in a while because I have so many good native alternatives and I didn't feel like bringing my Apollo Twin with me when I was traveling. But recently I put OWS on a plucked instrument performance and I just could NOT find a way to get any combination of plugins to perform as well as this one. I am using the re-mic mode on a very close mic setting with a bit of the other mics blended in. I tried using various EQ, compression, then Liquidsonics 7th Heaven which I do love but it just would not sound as natural. I think the scary thing about this plugin is that in remic mode it does SO much to your sound and in some cases if it doesn't work you can't really be too surprised - it completely transforms the sound - but when it does work it does it much more naturally than a combination of lots of plugins and EQ. You might be surprised how much it changes the sound in remic mode and think “dang isn’t that adding some phase issues or some harshness? what is this thing doing!?” but as soon as you start trying to emulate the effect with other plugins you get an even more artifact-heavy result. What I love especially about remic mode is that it compresses the sound in a very natural way unlike any compressor I have ever used, and most importantly it adds the depth to the sound of the room in a way that even 7th Heaven can't do. 7th Heaven would be my first choice if I just wanted my sound to stay exactly as is but add a bit of room ambience around it, but for anything where I'm not 100% sold on the balance of the recording OWS is worth a shot.
One thing I realized that is crazy is that while there are probably some things going into this plugin that are not IR based, in the end the actual plugin seems to be mostly an IR generator. Clearly IR's are more useful than anyone ever knew - but you obviously can't just expect to take them from an actual room and get the right result - the magic here is in the IR that UA has generated for the attack on remic mode. So they must have spent a ton of time researching how to build EXTREMELY realistic and useful IRs for this remic mode. I love other reverbs for what they do but nothing comes close to this. I know it was a lot of work but this is the #1 thing UA has done in my experience.
Also people on forums and elsewhere will say you can do the same thing in Altiverb. Well yes Altiverb is an IR player and has some incredible rooms, some of which probably sound better than OWS on many things, but the issue is Altiverb hasn’t tackled the completely artificial programming of these early reflection remic impulses that are generated on the fly as you move the mic around. I mean this is just so much more useful than Altiverb because I can frankly use any algorithmic or decent reverb to get a really good tail and dispersion of sound. The thing that is nearly impossible to do is replace these early reflections as if you actually recorded the sound there. Whatever UA did to measure them isn’t something other companies have seemed to tackle at all.J. Manning
Very Nice
Place your instrument in a room. Sounds great.
S. Collins
Remarkable!
Captures room ambiance with tone shaping using different mics and EQ options. Re-mic mode plus reverb mode. You would have to work hard to not dial in a nice natural sound.
F. Jessen
The Room!
Grab it!
J. Foster
Magic!
Take your dreadful flat sounding DI'd acoustic, try to salvage it with EQ as best you can, then output to a stereo bus and re-mic it with OWS - just first 2 mics (OWR A - Guitar is good) , close as you can then split them left and right - unbelievable. Worth it for this alone.
c. maskell
Awesome
Adds depth and realism.

OWS is a game changer
I did the 14 day demo with Ocean Way Studios and my first thought was it was just ok. I took a drum track from LPX and “put” the drums into Studio A which was a light bulb moment! OWS made those drums come alive and I could hear nuances in the drum track I had never heard before. Right then and there I understood how great OWS is. It works so well with everything I have used it on Guitar, Vocals and Piano. It’s a sonic game changer!
R. Walsh
You have to try
I suggest you at least try the demo. Nothing is perfect but this plugin is perfect sometimes. I use Groove Agent for my drums and percussion. Ocean Way makes them sound real. Not all the time but when Ocean Way works there is no substitute.
A. Reverberi
Outstanding
Even better than I thought
V. De Puydt
Easy to use / Great sound
Nice tool to create space around your "dried recorded" instruments and voice / Cohesion between digital instruments (drums) and much more :)
S. Tydeman
In LOVE
Simply a really nice and beautiful sounding plugin! Heads up - it is DSP heavy.
