What Is Ocean Way Studios?
Ocean Way Studios is a dynamically adjustable room emulator for adding
the ambience of Ocean Way Recording’s acclaimed studios A or B to audio
signals.
Ocean Way Studios offers two modes of operation. It can be used as a tra-
ditional reverb using send/return paths mixed with dry signals, or as a
“Re-Mic” processor when full immersion of the original source audio within
Ocean Way’s studio spaces is desired.
Re-Mic mode is by nature “fully wet” and includes the impulse response’s “di-
rect” signal. Re-Mic can be used to entirely replace previous rooms and mi-
crophones, or create new complimentary room sounds.
Allen Sides Ocean Way Studios was collaboratively developed under the creative direc-
tion of renowned producer/engineer Allen Sides. As the owner/operator of
Ocean Way Recording for more than 30 years (see
“The History of Ocean
Way Recording” on page 315 ), his knowledge of how to record various
sources within these studios is integral to the high quality results that can be
achieved with Ocean Way Studios.
Microphones Allen Sides is not only known for his audio engineering expertise, but also for
his collection of prized microphones. The specific microphones that were
used to develop Ocean Way Studios, and their placement positions on a va-
riety of sources, were selected by Mr. Sides himself.
