I prefer Bird’s Rolling Sampler. I really didn’t like the waveform display on Rewind. https://www.birdsthings.com ($19) There are trials for both so you can decide for yourself.

Installed the 30-day demo. Pretty interesting and unique even in stereo. I need to delve deeper. Just went through some presets. Heavy CPU usage.

Never say never 😉

Just got the email that Waves is bringing back perpetual licenses! Wow. 😲

Got the Waves email and immediately came here to witness the fallout. I wasn't disappointed. 😬👍

I try not to buy hardware until absolutely need it. It will always be cheaper in the future.

Yeah, Unify is pretty much impossible to describe concisely. There's something for everyone. I only stumbled onto it when I was looking for a faster way to route MIDI from a MIDI FX to an instrument back in 2020. Then I learned it does this...and it does that...and even this??? Holy Cow!

Additionally, I think he wanted to be able to sell libraries with copy protection. Can't blame him. Man's gotta eat. That said, for the amount of work he puts into the libraries and the power of Unify, he charges more than a fair price even non-sale. I really commend him and try to support him and his team as much as I can.

If you casually just watch the majority of PluginGuru videos, you would dismiss Unify as just something that layers instruments or just a rompler or a one-button song machine. Sadly, that's where the whole "I can do that in my DAW" metality comes from. It takes a bit of homework to come to the "ah-ha" moment and you realize that Unify is a game-changer. I get why John pushes those features. It's cool. It's eye candy. However, unfortunately, I think it undermines how powerful Unify is beyond those things.

This is a biggy. How many instruments sound awesome, but have a lame preset browser and no way to favorite? Too many just rely on the OS file manager. Unify lets you favorite presets, add categories, add notes, and more. It’s simple to do this for any instrument, even if it hasn’t been “Unified”. If your reason for not getting Unify is your DAW can do it, then you don't understand Unify. It’s all about the workflow. Sure, you could do everything Unify does in a DAW, but Unify makes things easy. I like to use it to quickly set up MIDI routing which can be a pain. It does so much more than just layering different instruments. It's kinda like a DAW in a plugin.

Being different from the hardware has never kept me from buying anything in the past! LOL

DAMMIT! I do not need another great CA VSTi that I never remember to use! That said, for near 40 bucks, I'm not sure how long I can hold out. I'm still mad at myself for picking the Roland JX8P over the DX7 when I was in Japan in 1986. 😖😖😖

I've had this since the first release and keep it updated, but somehow I always seem to gravitate to Scaler, Captain, or, more recently, Klimper.

Tried the demo and this thing sounds wonderful. The cryptic message saying u can only use alpha presets in the demo means only the presets with the Greek alpha symbol next to the preset's star work. There must be a lot of interest cuz their site is getting slammed.

Well, I am subscriber 42 and totally expect answers to life, the universe and everything. 😬

Congrats. About the same size as mine. You'll love it!

I used a 49" TCL 4K monitor. I chose that size because the DPI is close to the twin 1920 x 1200 Samsung monitors I'd been using. I could never go back. Probably, the only con is that sometimes you will have to move your head more and even stand up to read things. If you wear prescription glasses, definitely get some computer glasses. RTings site mentioned above is a must-read.

Happy and safe holidays to all. 🙏🏻

💯 Happy Holidays everyone!

Couple notes for Windows, not sure if this affects Macs: 1. After you uninstall 1.7, which must do, you have to also manually delete the 1.7 .DLL plug-in files. Here's the full uninstall instructions https://support.wavedna.com/hc/en-us/articles/218390828-How-to-Uninstall-Liquid-Rhythm-Liquid-Music-on-Windows 2. The 1.8 installer puts the VST3 files in the same folder as the VST2 files. Ableton at least doesn't like this and I had to manually move the VST3 files to the proper folder. 3. The 1.8 VST2 files are named differently than the 1.7 versions in that they don't have "64" at the end. Thus, any old projects won't load the plugins. My solution is to have duplicate VST2 files with one set having the 64 at the end (eg LiquidMusic64.dll) 4. The 1.8 installer mentions Unity plugins, but you can ignore because it should have been removed as they don't work. Glen at WaveDNA is aware.

Boy, looks like ya had a ton of fun. Nice!

Darn nice sounding filter. Hard to believe they're giving it away 🤔

My experience with support has been good.

I guess I can understand your opinion. FWIW the 1.8 version does away with the JAVA version issue in 1.7. They licensed JAVA and its now embedded in the plugin.

The Java licensing and Apple M1 support undoubtedly added to development cost. I would hazard to guess they need a cash infusion and are also testing the waters to see if 2.0 is worth doing. I like the uniqueness of the product and will support the dev with fingers crossed. 🤞
