Simply Amazing.
This is pure gold.
when you don’t have the possibility to record a source in a proper room, or if your room is too dry, too small, if you need a better 3D definition and the ability to put anything anywhere..and you don’t want to spend hours on tweaking any convolution tool parameters, stay focused on the music..
well, i think that tool might be the answer.
It is to me anyway.
Brilliant !

Love it!
Now I sound like Dave Grohl! Nice.

Can’t wait to hear it
Doesn’t want to load. Seems to have a licensing bug that won’t let it load. Still waiting for tech support to fix that

Great plugin… needs an update to help your CPU
This is an amazing plugin that is wayyyyy more than a reverb plugin. With this in mind, it is still WAY too cpu intensive for more than a few instances even on M2 Pro silicon hardware. Unacceptable for the price and native only specifics. I sincerely hope this gets updated to reduce strain.

Super realistic room sound
I really cannot understand reviewers here who hear weird phasing and nulling issues. The sound of this plugin is superb. Super punchy drums, every instrument I run through this simulation just sounds better and fits in the mix suddenly. CPU usage is surprisingly low in my opinion, and native only is absolutely no problem for me. someone wrote there's an unpleasant boom with kick drums... well I think that's exactly what this studio sounds like and what it's famous for. I don't think that UA thought: let's just put in some weird and bad sounding boominess in this haha..
All in all, this one is really really amazing and instantly replaced Ocean Way and various sources. Well done UA

It's Sound City!
What's not to love! Very pleased so far and totally excited to have a little bit of Sound City in my recordings... Magic! For me a dream emulation .

The desire to produce is increased tenfold.
I really felt like I was in the studio making sounds. It's just fun. The value of this plug-in is very high.

Holy buckets.
Sounds great on drums and guitar re-amping.

AMAZING
I have no issue with the cost what a insane plugin

It’s awesome
It legitimately sounds like recording in a large room. It makes drums sound huge, acoustics sounds spacious, and the cabs are great for electric guitar. It won’t be the right thing for every track in the mix, but definitely a good tool to have in the box.

This will open the window on your mixes. Iconic again. It is native only so you’ll need to download UADx.

A great room
I'm still discovering its potential, but so far so good. It's the room ambience I always wanted to achieve with convolution reverb, but it's also a lot more thanks to the re-mic option, which is not something I'll always use, but it's been great with piano and sax.

Sound City Exclu Natif.
Incontestablement un excellent plugin, néanmoins j ai quand même réussi à me faire piéger par votre marketing agressif voire fallacieux et j ai réalisé trop tard qu il s agissait d une version uniquement native ... Le vent tourne chez UA ... Dommageable !

Grandes resultados
Aunque no la recomiendo para todo, si que necesita tiempo para saber si su aplicación es correcta. En este caso no me han servido los presets, he tenido que configurar el plug-in a mis necesidades. Para instrumentos como Baterias, no he notado una mejoría al instante, para voces, guitarras y piano, me ha gustado mucho. Pero recomiendo dedicarle tiempo ya que las mejoras que aporta pueden ser muy buenas.

At least as good as Ocean Ways
The ladies and gentlemen from UA have once again done a great job here.
It has never been easier to emulate a good and above all realistic sounding room. Especially for drums and backing vocals an absolute must have.

Amazing App but CPU heavy
Sounds absolutely amazing on guitar and drums. I'm on M1 mac with 8gb RAM so it's drain on CPU. I have to freeze tracks in Luna.

CPU killer
This is by far the most CPU heavy reverb I have ever had. Even heavier than Waves Abbey Road verbs. Making it mostly unusable especially if you want more than 1 instance. 8 cores running at 5ghz and Sound City wanted nearly 25% of my CPU power.
Also 2 days after purchase of Sound City along with the 1176 ($99 bundle) the price was reduced for the 1176 even lower. I feel cheated. I would have preferred just the 1176 at the lower price in hindsight.
This 1st purchase has effectively caused me to make sure I never buy any plugs from UAD again. Shame really, I had high hopes.
