Ocean Way Studios delivers an authentic recreation of the famed ambience and acoustic characteristics of Ocean Way Recording's Studio A and Studio B. These rooms have been the backdrop for legendary recordings by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, and Radiohead. The software captures the unique room dispersion and sonic qualities by emulating the environments with remarkable detail, allowing users to dynamically position vintage microphones through an intuitive click-and-drag interface.
The sound design benefits from the expertise of Allen Sides, the longtime director of Ocean Way Recording, who contributed his knowledge and access to a prized collection of vintage microphones valued at $250,000. This collaboration ensures that each microphone's distinctive tonal characteristics and placement nuances are faithfully represented. The plugin offers a selection of three microphone pairs that can be blended and positioned in real time to capture near, mid, and far perspectives, providing a rich and immersive soundstage.
Users can choose from multiple instrument and vocal source types, each with tailored dispersion patterns, enhancing the realism of the acoustic emulation. The plugin includes mic bleed and proximity effects, which contribute to the authentic representation of the recording environment. It operates in two modes: 'Reverb' mode, which blends the wet and dry signals for enhanced ambience, and 'Re-Mic' mode, which replaces the original room and microphone sounds entirely. Preset configurations curated by Allen Sides offer a professional starting point for creative exploration.
