The present release doesn't write audio files directly, so you would have to run the computer output through another app like Audacity to capture the sound into a file - or, of course, just load Unify into a DAW if you're planning to keep what you're playing. There are several soft-synths that I use for sound design, often without any need for my DAW - I just want to start playing and sculpting.
I am now using Unify regularly as a quick, ad hoc VST host for all kinds of things. I have no connection to Skippy other than admiration and long experience with his work. I've been working with Skippy's sound design products since the 1990's (he created a lot of the patches in the Korg Wavestation, and now the new Korg WaveState).

Skippy's background includes patch design for many generations of Korg and Yamaha synths, along with innumerable collaborations with recording artists in a variety of genres. John "Skippy" Lemkuhl is the project creator, with extremely capable programming by an experienced MIDI / audio architect named Dale, and they are both very responsible and dedicated creators. There are already several instructional videos, and the third-party reviews are starting to appear. It will provide you great experience while you are performing on the stage. You can use MainStage 3 in live performance. This music application is specially designed by Apple Inc. It recognizes nearly all the VSTs on my system, and has a simple but very flexible interface. MainStage 3 for PC Windows 7/8/8.1/10/XP/Vista, Laptop and Mac: It is one of best app for music lover. It was just released at last week's NAMM, but I've been using early versions of it for a few weeks and I'm very impressed with its stability and power. The pros can make the switch to Windows as I have done.I'm unfamiliar with Mainstage, but from the discussion, I'm guessing you might find Unify to be a useful Windows platform for loading and mixing various VSTs in realtime, without the overhead of a full DAW. Mac Pop and MacBook Pop would be suiting. I think Apple should change its product names. As for the Mac Pro, no, I would have liked to purchase an update to the old Mac Pro design with modern components and the possibility to expand it with PCIe cards, something professionals usually do. To me Apple's drive for slimness is a foolish obsession when it comes to advanced video and photo editing needs. Also true that a powerful PC notebook would be nearly as pricy as a MBP, but only if I would want it to be as absurdly slim as a MBP. True, the Apple of today is not the Apple it used to be. I understand your frustration but in the end you got to go with the tools that are available to you now. You seem to be looking for a new Mac Pro. Tried it also with MS surfacebook and found it to be more expensive than a similar MBP. And you'll find out that Macs are very well priced. Try speccing a similar windows laptop for example, with SSD onto PCIe with same amount of memory etc. The bulk of their users now are mainstream.Īs far as you paying more for a Mac than a similar Windows machine, that's an ancient myth.

So I doubt they'll ever tell you how to switch from a Mac to Windows.Īs far as you being a Mac user for 25 years, well Apple was a very different company back then. It's probably my mistake to expect a smart phone company to deliver powerful stationary computers for creative professionals like I ) Nowadays I'd pay a multitude for an inferior Apple machine. Back in the day the Mac was a serious offer for people like me. This is after 25 years of exclusive Mac usage. I maxed it out with components I'd not even be able to put in a Mac, with the exception of an outdated Mac Pro. I'd be much more interested in a description of the reverse switch since I just bought a used Dell workstation for video and photo editing.
