UAD Sound City Studios Plugin by Universal Audio,  the room simulator of the world's most famous recording studio Sound City Studios, is now 88% off at  the lowest price ever of $39.

Get the authentic sound of the world's most famous rock & roll studio. Compatible with all sound cards on Mac and PC.

With Sound City Studios, you can create music in one of history's most renowned recording studios, including the same rooms, microphones, iconic consoles, and outboard gear heard on classic records by Nirvana, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Rage Against, and more.*

Exclusively available from UA, Sound City Studios lets you add the atmosphere and character of this legendary space to your drums, guitars, vocals, synths, and more—all from the comfort of your own bedroom or home studio.

Immerse yourself in a historic room.

Sound City's Studio A is the birthplace of hundreds of hit records. Audio-driven with the original multi-track recordings cut at Sound City, expertly capturing the distinctive "warts and all" character of historical setups with guidance from the engineers who used them daily, you can easily place your creations in the same spaces where the magic happened.

Find the Sweet Spot Easily

Simply select your source—vocals, drums, guitar, ensemble, or piano—and you'll get proven room and mic setups, from the loud, reflective sounds used in Nirvana's "Nevermind" to Tom Petty's intimate "wood" corners. You can even re-mic your guitar by selecting perfectly positioned cabinets and room mics.

Reposition Vintage Microphones with Dynamic Room Modeling

Move an incredible collection of classic condenser and ribbon microphones from AKG, Neumann, and RCA in real time to customize your space far beyond historical setups and achieve authentic room sounds that surpass the original chart-topping positions. **

Explore Sound City's Iconic British Console

A centerpiece of Room A since the early '70s, Sound City's iconic console expertly colored everything that flowed through it. A flawless emulation of the vintage 3-band EQ and compressor ensures every source has the same satisfying analog character and tone.

Crush, gate, or add "air" with Secret Weapon Compression

Sound City Studios offers the legendary limiting of the iconic Rev E 1176 compressor, plus the first emulation of the Dolby A301** noise reduction system—a multi-band EQ/limiter used and abused by Sound City engineers. Get the same lustrous, exaggerated background vocals and explosive drum sounds heard on decades of hit records.

Add chart-topping atmosphere with the iconic Echo Chamber

Finish your tracks with the same natural, open-sounding reverb used by everyone from Queens of the Stone Age, Phoebe Bridgers, and Death Cab for Cutie, then season your ambient space with a pair of perfectly positioned, dynamic small-diaphragm condensers and ribbon microphones.
