I like it but
So I like it actually but not having a dry/wet knob and a mix knob is what is killing me. I have found away around it but using a bus and for me it gives some control. If it had this knob it would be perfect. Overall it sounds great. Simple not a lot going on I love that I don’t have to overthink

Fabulous
I’ve been using this on a Mastering project for a client and the quality is astonishing. No mastering engineer should be without it..

Needs a wet/dry blend
Don’t waste your money on the upgraded version. Sounds are fine, some even good, but offers very little flexibility for professionals. This is an ameuter hour release from a company that should know better. If the advanced model was free I’d have less issue but to pay $99 or $199 when promo ends is laughable. Do better UA, this is laziness.

Very nice
Pretty awesome plug-in just plain and simple. I applied this to bass guitar and it really thickened and beefed up the bass. It’s hard to describe honestly, but it’s sonically warmer and thicker. I’ve also use this on drums and my synthesizers and again it really does take the coldness out of the mix. I find that I want to use it on every track, buses and main because it’s so simple and quick to use.

Underrated plugin (Essentials version)
Based on the reviews I've seen on here, it appears Verve is getting alot of bad press and I think it's painting an inaccurate picture of how useful this plugin is.
I've seen that most complaints are to do with lack of a wet/dry mix knob and also a lack of control in general. Both these factors are true and are fair comments. However, lack of a mix knob can be compensated for by placing this plugin on a send/return track in your DAW - or you could even duplicate the instrument track you wish to use it on, place Verve on the duplicate and then blend the two using the faders on your mixer. So this isn't the end of the world.
As far as a lack of tweak-ability goes, I completely agree... but we need to understand what UA were going for when they created this plugin. Clearly, the plugin is designed to be simple and streamlined in terms of usage and interface; each machine in Verve is essentially the same as having a list of presets to flick through until you get the flavor you want. They've gone for speed and convenience over complexity and the ability to customise the sound. So I guess you just have to ask yourself, is that what you want?
Most importantly, don't let the above factors get in the way of the QUALITY of the plugin - i.e. the quality of the sound it creates, or rather how well it affects the sound source you are using it on. Tonally, this machine sounds absolutely fantastic, it is absolute quality and whoever made it at UA did an awesome job... As 'Manipulators of sound' surely that is the most important aspect to us, right?
The quality is as such that, although the interface is simple and streamlined, there is obviously alot going on under the hood of this thing that we can't see.
Bottom line: Verve sounds great and is extremely useful. Additionally, the kind folks at UA are giving the Essentials version of this baby away for free until April 30th - companies rarely do that - and so what have you got to lose? Ignore all the naysayers and try it for yourself, I can pretty much guarantee you will find it useful for something!
Thanks UA for an awesome, free product of top quality. You have my full support!

Fast and Sounds Great
Bought the full version. It's super fast to dial in great sounding saturation and color. The plugin does what it says and sounds great.

Good - Fun Distortion/Audio degradation Tool, needs update
This plugin is a lot of fun, and I’ve gotten some cool sounds from it, but I agree with a few other people here that this plugin needs a mix knob. While there other ways/workarounds this should be default in my opinion.

I have the essentials version, not much value added
While I am only using the essentials version, I can say there is not much value added here if you already own all of the real UA plugins. This is a light weight toy for people just getting started I think.
.
it's nice but..
I wish in future updates there will be more options to mix some of the effects instead of using just one each time.
it's a great start but missing many basic features the would make it from "great" to "amazing must have plugin!".

Why?
Hype, what's fashionable. Funny how so many 'one knob' plugins appear at the same time. Someone on this review said it adds Great warmth. Obviously needs to visit an audiologist. 3d interfaces are so easy to design now so the illusion of what's really happening is only that. If it looks good it must sound good. But close ur eyes, train yourself to listen and understand. It soon becomes clear these are nothing more than a $20 Behringer distortion pedal.. Put that on your mix.

Verve Analog Machines
Great tool. Adds more detail and punch to the sound.
J. Butler
Eh
Not bad but even though i am using the essentials version i really don't see the use for paying more for a plugin with no dry/wet knobs & very limited even when compared to the essentials version.
C. Asker
A must-have on the mix bus and for mastering
This plugin delivers something that EQ's and bus compressors simply can't. You won't be disappointed.

Sweet sonic enhanceent with the tweak of two knobs
Verve Analog Machines delivers analog sauce to your tracks with just two knobs, making it simple to use. Well worth the investment … the delivered presets offer great starting points.

Extremly good, I use it everywhere on the masterbus
This plugin is a absolutly must have! It sounds very analog and makes every mixdown increadible authentic. I would recommend it as the first and most important plugin in your uad list, but try it, use it, test it!
