[@who_is_dis]

💀 I couldn't relate more.. But I think the free version is as far as i'd go with this one. He didn't level match his a/b - not even close. It's got nice, dramatic saturation effects but not worth 99 imo let alone 199 - bit of a rip off.

Bless up Dom, great vid as per you know that I'm on it like Scotch Bonnet, the review of course demonstrates the variations of Verve Analogue Machines models but I cant help marvel at the genius and raw talent that Amy brought to the world with your recreation of 'Back to Black' - this simply overwhelmed me more than the plugin you featured [in a good way trust me].

[@QuaverloveStudio]

Hey, Dom! So I did get it. Here's my issue: each instance adds tons of colour, which isn't a bad thing, but even when the drive knob is at 0... and that's the ONLY control on the plugin. Jury's out on this one.

[@Ptsd_Survivor]

I wouldn't be able to mix without this. It's so SWEET to the ears. ALL my music uses this. A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!

[@ontreitube]

I got the free galaxy tape as well!

[@amusik7]

What a wonderful sound! I just spent the weekend listening to some old vinyls and CDs and you can really hear that songs make perfect use of the mid-range - this plugin will probably help you get that sound which is bright but not harsh, and has low end but not too much. And it goes without saying - it’s insane you just recreated the song for the sake of demoing this plugin 😂

[@DEADLINETV]

Yes! Break that track down! I'm also very curious to your beef with UA!

[@Cchogan]

This reminds me so much of TC Electronics Finalizer - the rack mounted unit I owned in the late 1990s. Instant sweetening for just about every production. I just had it on the end of my mastering chain on the patchbay, most often.

[@robertgwatts1858]

@@jocke1972 Tape is too non linear for convolution to work well. It's almost certainly algorithmic.

[@infestedalien]

First I was sceptic if this was of more use than just adding distortion / room to signal. I bougth it and was suprised over how useful it became in getting the mid-range nice saturated and more clear in the baselines in the mix. Super satisfied, and the minimal interface is very good since it's very effective for the workflow. This type of plugin do not need to have all parameters exposed but I would love to see a mix knob tho :)

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

Thanks for great video and heads up on this freebie...

[@AforismiDAutoreAD]

About this plugin the question is: Does it sounds better? Or just more louder? 🤔🤔

[@DomSigalas]

Watch the full video and the answer is there :) if you feel this only makes things louder I wouldn’t worry about buying plugins but more about mixing a lot and training your ear :) But watch the video first ❤️

[@AforismiDAutoreAD]

​@@DomSigalas I saw your video, it certainly introduces harmonics but to do a really precise experiment, use a gain match type plugin and see if the processed sound is actually increased. Thing that struck me about this plugin is that it doesn't have an output gain.

[@DomSigalas]

@@AforismiDAutoreAD yes annoyingly the free version doesn’t have output gain. However the paid does and it certainly doesn’t just make things louder. Actually it’s quite drastic in the way it changes the sound :) Try the demo and check for yourself - especially for the free version you have nothing to lose ;)

[@AforismiDAutoreAD]

@@DomSigalas I tried the free version, and I'm disappointed that it doesn't have output gain. It inserts nice harmonics but it's a simple "drive", nothing special and nothing real with the real tape saturators. More louder it sounds and better it will sound looks like, so not having an output gain makes you think a lot about UAD's intentions. Also, what is happening to UAD? Lately it has been giving away free version plugins and selling plugins at modest prices and with special discounts... but wasn't it a company that sold its plugins only to owners of Apollo twin? Is it now looking for competition in the user market and wants to impose its plugins? He should have thought about it before, not now. This plugin in fact betrays the UAD standards it has had up to now.

[@3rdPersonProduction]

Amazing, how you changed your shirt mid-sentence. ;)

[@mgmthegrand]

I wonder if Dom did any progressing before adding Verve. Either way, this plugin is a secret weapon!

[@gabe_irl]

Just got the free version and excited to try this on some drum tracks. Still low key pissed LUNA doesn't support Midi Multi out though..

[@zerberk]

This plugin is insanely good. I am genuinely shocked that a greedy company like UA would really give an amazing plugin like this out for free. The free version is sooo good, I don’t even want to bother with the full version. Well done UA!

[@nukenoly8751]

Greedy in the old days but now UADx plugins are among the cheapest when purchased on sale or bundled (Signature for example)

[@maderasabia3633]

Genial el aporte!!! Es posible que el Channel Strip de Cubase emula la consola analógica SSL? Buscando información, en la propia pagina de Steinberg comentaba , que los ingenieros trabajaron para emular los sonidos de las famosas consolas, Pero no especificaba cual. Un saludo.

[@mgmthegrand]

Dom, please do a video about why UAD was banned from your studio 🙏

[@rome8180]

This sounds awesome. I think the "vintagize" will be especially useful to add character to boring tracks. One question though: does the Essential version really have no output trim? I've noticed it was adding a lot of level to your tracks. I don't think you need to obsessively level-match, but I do like to be able to pull back the output to make sure I'm not getting fooled by added loudness. I guess you can always add a gain plugin afterwards. I have the Spark subscription, so I'll probably just use the full version of this plugin anyway. That one does have an output control.

[@DomSigalas]

I honestly think that for this kind of plugin level matching is the least of the things you should worry about. Level matching would be utterly pointless and I won't waste time with this when the sound changes so drastically :) But I totally agree with you, I don't know why the output control was omitted on Essentials - possibly because it's free? :)

[@gregoryjkane]

Really great demo. Also, the chimes sound on your recording is really great. What sample or synth did you use for that?

The only thing that is annoying with the free version is that nag screen in the gui wanting you to upgrade. I did snag the free la2a though when that was available. Great score!

[@ShyGuru]

Dom - great video! Wondering how you soloed the reverb in cubase!? Didn’t know you could do that! Thanks mate!

[@DomSigalas]

It’s the Listen button! I’ve explained this in many videos but maybe I need to make another video again!

[@ezrashanti]

The listen button will dim the dry signal by a set amount, however if you want to use that function as intended as a dm, but also solo just the reverb, add the direct routing section to your Channel bar on the far left and or mixed console, and if you click it on the dry Channel it will fully remove the dry signal.

[@marcovandermeij4521]

Hello Dom. Great videos mate. I am wondering if it is something that you can suggest at Steinberg. I think it would be a great feature to be able to drag any channel from an other project and use them in a project that someone is working on. We all have plenty of unused projects and that way, a great arrangement can be re-puposed. Hope that's something they do for an update. Thanks Dom.

[@djjuno106]

You can do this..cubase has had this for years. You can load channels and midi/audio from older projects and load them in new projects. I've done it too do remixs and too quickly use parts from old tracks which can inspire new tracks.

[@DomSigalas]

Not Cubase- The EXACT same thing happens in Logic too (yes, I tried). The plugin introduces a bit of latency (and I have so many instances turning off at once -thanks Cubase!) so there WILL be click when the audio shifts due to the latency changing. Simple as that ;)
