• Unity/Bitheadz...terrible

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I will have to agree with the majority of reviews here, Unity/Bitzheadz is a terrible company. I've been using Unity Combo v.3.0, a specially designed product for my school, and grew more frustrated with the upgrades. Recently upgrading to OSX, dp4 and Unity 3.2.2 I thought would be a solid decision. However, I was wrong. Bitheadz, Inc. told me that the program would be more stable and reliable in OSX than in OS9. LIES. This program shouldn't make your computer crash, but it DOES. And I am unaware of any solutions to fix this problem. Tech Support is usually very slow and have you wait hours before they can get back to you, I believe they only have ONE person running support. Hours are very limited which is unfortunate in the event of a real emergency. As for the patches of Unity most are pretty bad, a few have realistic sounds and only about 5 I do really like. Most are doubled-up and have clipping within them. Unity would be a good program to use if you want to make new tracks for Super Mario Brothers 1 or Atari 5800. I plan to never invest in Untiy or associate myself with the Bitheadz, Inc. I found most of my success working with other programs like Korg, Roland and MOTU. I'm suprised this company hasn't been shut down yet.

• Unity Session

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Session has been updated several times over the past year (all for free), and works well inside DP as a plug-in and as a stand alone sound module. Its UI is a bit weak (with that odd mixer redraw) but hey, its purpose is to produce sound and this it does very well. Osmosis works well for importing sound libraries, and if you want to get "under-the-hood" in sound manipulation, there is no other soft-sampler with the flexibility of Unity Session.
