Launched in 2013, Universal Audio's Ocean Way Studios plugin introduced the concept of "dynamic room modelling" and studio emulation.
The technology seeks to bottle the sound of a studio – a combination of the acoustics of its rooms and the sonic character of its mics and mixing console – in software, giving music-makers working at home the opportunity to record as if they were working in a hallowed studio space; in this case, the historic Ocean Way Studios.
