Many people who listen to my music on www.andysaunders.com and ask – how do you create the tracks. What equipment do you use and what do you need to get started? My response is always “You need to get Unified”.
I explain that you need to imagine a workspace where boundaries do not exist. A place where your entire plugin collection—synths, effects, and MIDI tools—stops living in separate windows and starts working together as one cohesive instrument and all this for about £140.
Unify 2 is by Plugin Guru, it isn’t just a plugin; it is the central nervous system of my digital studio. As a composer, and sound designer, Unify is the key to unlocking the full potential of every tool I own.
Limitless Versatility
My VSTs, VST3s are no longer islands. Unify acts as a “host within a host,” allowing me to layer, mix, and stack any combination of plugins into a single patch.
I can combine worlds: I can layer a heavy analogue synths from one developer with a delicate orchestral library from another. Many of the patches from industry leading VST’s are directly accessible from the Unify patch menu. I can also mix and match patches or create my own from the extensive libraries that can be added, opening so many creative possibilities.
I have cross-platform power: I can load Unify inside my Studio One Pro Digital Audio Workstation adding a whole new layer of possibilities.
And complete freedom: When composing I can split my keyboard, create velocity layers, and trigger complex chains of effects with a single keystroke.
Unrivalled Creative Potential
I have been writing music for over 40 years and for me Unify 2 transforms sound design from a technical chore into a flow-state experience. It provides a standardised and intuitive interface a pallet on to which I can create music.
I have control through the magic of macros: I can control the cutoff filter of three different synths and the reverb tail of a fourth plugin with a single knob. Unify 2’s macro controls give me real-time, expressive power over complex layers.
It has a built-in powerhouse: Even without third-party plugins, Unify 2 comes with its own high-quality engines and a massive library of patches that sound incredible right out of the box. That is why I recommend it is the go-to purchase for anyone looking to get into digital audio recording.
Bullet Proof reliability – Professional Quality & Stability
Built on the vision of legendary sound designer John “Skippy” Lehmkuhl, Unify 2 is crafted with a deep respect for the artist’s workflow. It is optimised for low CPU usage, ensuring that even my most complex, multi-layered “Mega-Patches” run smoothly during a heavy mixing session. I have used Unify both version 1 and 2 for many years and it just works, never crashed and handles anything I throw at it.
Why Unify is my go-to and standalone?
For me, Unify 2 removes the friction between my ideas and my music. It is a dream platform where the only limit is my creativity.
