UAD Verve Analog Machines Essentials

Give your recordings the colorful analog saturation and effects heard on countless hip-hop, lo-fi, electronic, rock, and experimental tracks. Designed for the modern musician, beatmaker, and producer — Verve Analog Machines Essentials puts four playful vintage sounds right in your DAW.

Sweeten

Add warmth to anything with classic reel-to-reel sound that can be gently overdriven.

Great for: Getting studio-grade tape sound on vocals, instruments, or your entire mix.

Warm

An older and bolder tape machine. It’s similar to Sweeten, but with a deeper warmth and warble.

Great for: Getting tape sound with added movement.

Thicken

Hop in your time machine and explore gritty lo-fi textures from half a century ago.

Great for: Giving any track some added vibe and dimension.

Vintagize

Need a tone that’s all your own? Score thriftstore tape machine sound that’s older than your grandparents.

Great for: Making modern recordings sound old.
