I have owned Unify since day 1 of release. What is not mentioned here is that the Plugin Guru team continues to upgrade and improve their product regularly, adding features and improvements that often are astonishing. Not an exaggeration. Astonishing. Joy to use, with an incredible stock library and presets, included with plugin. It is also a tweaker's dream for those who want to craft their own sounds. Everyone should own this. One last thing: John at Plugin Guru's Youtube videos are a sound design masterclass. Again, not an exaggeration. I encourage you to check it out!

[MrTugwit]

And almost every Saturday Pluginguru's John Lemkuhl spends about 1 1/2 hours showing how to use the software 😄

I can't speak for Ambient Dreams, but I've had Unify for years and I use at least one instance of it in every song. You are definitely under-stating its functionality and versatility. It can do things that my DAW alone either can't do at all, or can do only with significant midi-routing and head-scratching. Two of my favorite "tricks" are 1) using wave sequencing to route each note of an arp or melody to a different sample/synth to really add some diversity and 2) Routing each voice in a chord to a different synth (sometimes randomized, sometimes static) to create a unique pad sound. And those two things are barely scratching the surface.

I own Unifiy for a while. Unify is a gem and worth every penny. I made 2 years ago a track with only one patch from Unify. This patch had everything I needed for this track. I mean, I can do most stuff as well with my DAW Ableton Live. But in Unify it is much easier. Especially the Midi routing is much more powerful in Unify. Sometimes I open only Unify instead of my DAW to make sound designs. Unify works as well standalone.

I've been using Unify for years, and it is my go to plug-in. If I have a song idea or some chords I want to try out, Unify loads in seconds and I'm able to quickly find strings, keyboards, textures, basses, etc. I've created patches in Unify using Omnisphere patches and Kontakt keyboards and vocals, plus Unify textures all in one Unify patch. It really is a ground breaking VST. The program is a simple or complicated as you want it to be. Don't want to go under the hood? You've got an enormous selection of patches all ready to go in Unify. But you can also tweak them in many different ways. Great program.

You didn’t even open the Gurusampler or checked the CC-rider … Unify is nothing less than a very powerful patch-DAW. If you had to chose only one plugin beside your stock-stuff, this would be it 😉 The deeper you dive into it, the crazier it becomes. By the way, today is Skippy‘s Birthday, so Happy B-day-shout-out to the Pluginguru. Not to forget Shane, the code magician behind it. Gurunation rules!

[nicolasnicolas]

Unify was one of the first plugins I ever bought! It's absolutely amazing! I love it! 🥰

[BobDedes]

Great presentation Chris, thank you for showcasing my library ''ambient dreams'', i enjoyed it so much!

[johnnyt]

Can't express enough how useful saving patches for my entire VST library to be instantly recalled in one place actually is. I can't stand NI user interfaces (among others), but with Unify I can find some obscure Reaktor synth patch and get it setup exactly as I like, save it in Unify and mark it as favorite. Boom one click it's there whenever I need it in a new project, across my 2 DAWs FLStudio and Reaper. Among the countless other things it does, Unify fixes all the broken preset browsing and bad UIs of other plugins.

[HustonSingletary]

Oh yeah. Unify is an amazing plugin instrument. Your reactions fall right in line with all of us who love using Unify. Bob's libraries are incredible. Great walkthrough 😀😀

[dpixvid]

You will enjoy this plugin!!! The stacks you can make are insane! Plus on board mod, efx, etc.

[dr.gregoryf.maassen]

By far the best plugin on the market. John and team organize weekly live sessions using the plugin, explaining its functionality and create patches. I have over 15 libraries and each is unique and super useful.

[Syndrome-X]

Just wow.... I think unify looks to be a bit of a must have for any ambient producer or aspiring producer,

I have started doing live ambient shows at electronic open mic sessions and the amount of pre show work a vst / plugin like this could dramatically change anyone's workflow. Imho that is.

I stumbled on this channel a few months ago I have to say love what your doing and the amount of premium content you offer is amazing. Keep doing what your doing S1gns Of L1fe :)

[jimbaker]

Love Unify, great massively versatile plug in

[Septeemberpain]

I’ve had my eye on it for ages. Will be purchasing. John is a great guy too I watch his videos

[davidhenderson]

Without doubt, the best plugin I own. It is endess, whether it is used for inspiration, or set up for live performance. The best part of Unify is the team behind it, always evolving.

[shh_you_are_wrong]

My best purchase ever, and keeps getting better

[HeavenlyEmotions]

Yeah, i bought Unify with Ambient Dreams... What should i say... AMAZING !! So inspiring and inviting to compose "Dreambient". I love it. Some of my best plugins right now.. The latch mode is bit buggy, but hope there will be some upgrades in the future. Hey Chris, just a suggestion...can you maybe make a video where you explain how you connect all your effects devices and synths to your hardware?
And what settings you have to make in Ableton.
I would be very grateful for that. Greetz and Beats from Switzerland

[chriswoolf]

Not going to lie, I was concerned this was going to be a bit embelished due to the sponsoring. But damn, this is actually something I need in my workflow and seems to work well. I'm sold and look forward to spending hours creating and saving crazy combos.

[wrigna]

That first patch you played at the beginning of the video is incredible.
