Yes, I have. And of course DearVR Monitor does more things than this Ocean Way plugin. I use it right now for my Dolby Atmos binaural mon/mixdown since I'm on PC working in Nuendo 11 which lacks official Atmos binaural support.
So just comparing stereo source and converting that to a stereo studio space, this compares VERY favorably to DearVR Monitor at first glance. I need more time with it, but my initial impression is I could mix on this setup, where Abbey Road Studio 3 I only feel safe using for quick alternate referencing.
While I may change my mind over time, I do prefer Ocean Way to DearVR Monitor. I'd suggest anyone download the demo of Ocean Way that is interested in this sort of thing. I got the demo, listened to a few things, compared them to both AB Studio 3 and DearVR Monitor..... and then at my first opportunity I purchased Ocean Way, just activated the purchased license.
Oh, I live in Nashville and have recorded at Ocean Way and been there for other sessions as well. Funny, the speakers they show at Ocean Way are pretty much not used for mixing as far as I understand it. They have two pairs of other close and medium field monitors on that desk. Oh, and that desk is a beauty! Sonically and just to look at.
