Quick guide from Doms suggestions: Kick/ Bass - Warm Piano - Thicken Strings/Guitar- Sweeten Electric Guitar - Distort THANK YOU DOM.

That freaking magic color shifting T-shirt 🥶

It's always a great pleasure to hear from you, Dom. Thank you once again Greetings from Germany

Hi, Dom! Thank you! This is great! You can hear the difference immediately and it's delicious!😊

I just came back to say thank you!!! I got it, tried it and it was exactly what I needed. You totally made my day Dom 🎉😁

Dom made the best video on this plugin. Thanks for the inspiration.😊

I must have this! Thanks for the tip!

Great idea doing the test track ! Really good job, thank you for sharing your expertise. 👍

The world is a better place with Dom, thanks 🙏

Excellent! And made me smile when you were air-playing along with the track! 😊

Sounds amazing! Thanks, Dom. Getting it!

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.

Nice job on the track recreation , sounds great! 😎

The space they creates is awesome

First thing to do on tomorrow’s list❤ thanks Dom

it makes a big difference. Thanks for the heads up!

Your a/b'ing was appreciated. Listening on and off every couple of seconds really helped. Impressive difference.

Yes please Dom! Make a video about the song with the plugins you use. The sound is great!

you are a great Teacher A Lot of thanks dear sir

Thanks a lot! This plugin really gives the retro sound I have been looking for since my very expensive Neve Portico let me down.

Thank you Dom!

I've been investing in licenses from Steinberg and Universal Audio for a long time. The results make me really happy.

I honestly can't believe it'd free, I love it!

Waw. love the song. Great instrumentation❤️

@ 16 mins & 30 seconds lol! I love your videos, helped me improve so much and gives me the capability of expressing myself with my daw!

It is interesting that tape or good tape emulation makes sampled instruments sound more REAL. It's like tape says, "You know what? I'm giving back to the community. That's why I do what I do." 🥲

yes please a detailed video about how you produced each instrument of this track! would love it!! 😃

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]. Thanks for reminding the world why we love to make music. Cheers dude

💀 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.

I just placed this on my master plugin chain for a DJ mix I'm mastering, and it literally just brightened it up just by using the default Sweeten option. Sounds damn good!

just downloaded 🔥

Nice demo. Sounds amazing. As soon as I'm done with this comment, I'm clicking the "UA Connect" icon. As always, I love the way you have fun doing these videos.

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.

Thanks a lot ❤

top quality video

Got it, thanks μεγάλε Ντόμ.

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 😂

UA fan for years...sounds great and it's eyecandy at the same time...(Purchased it ! 😋)

Thanks Dom - sounds fat, warm and bring out both low and high end 😎

Amazing! Thank you Dom! 🫶🏻

I'm giving this video a like because of the string hand thing you did while the beat was playing😂

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

Wow! Please, make a video how you recreated this track. It will be very interesting for most of us❤

I got the free galaxy tape as well!

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 :)

UAD banned from the studio?!!? Call me intrigued

Thanks! Grabbed it immediatly. Good and clear video showing it off. Would be interested about banning UA from your studio!

Thanks broski

Thanks for this. I like maybe one or two of their plugins, but they once caused me nearly 6 hours downtime at the studio because of a licensing error, and so I banned them as well 😂

This is clever creative compression algorithms with a touch of delay modulation. But it sounds good, and that's what matters. 😎

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.

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

Ай бұрын

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? :)

Sounds nice, you can do this with a hundred other plugins you probably already have, but sounds nice nonetheless.

Sounds very nice 😊 What strings do you use? They sound fantastic

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.

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.

Hello, Dom!) How often do you mix with panorama 5.1, with multipanner in Cubase?

The difference is big, but you can obtain the same result with cubase stock EQ and Imager ...

Hi! What software do you use to make the animations at 1:20 and 2:57? Thanks :)

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!

What the hell!! Wow!

Hi Dom, I have the download, and have dragged the UA to the applications, but I can't find the plugin and have no idea as to get this installed into Cubase13

Well why not? Its free! Just installed it and it does sound good on drums, but the free version has too much warble to be useful on anything melodic IMO, and I reckon I could get the same effect with a couple of my existing plugins... possibly H Comp + H Delay. So for free I'll take it :), but don't think I'd buy it.
