User reviews

Crash-O-Matic

28 April 2026:

Like a few other Audio Damage app, Descent constantly crashes and my assumption is that this is being caused by parameter adjustments no matter how slight. It is so bad that I have deemed it as brain damaged trash, a waste of money, and an application plague regardless however it is being used. For now it will be sitting in my plug-in app waste bin until Audio Damage fixes the issues.

NOT RECOMMENDED !

Great Sound, Frequent Crashes

Love the sound and ease of use. Simple to understand and fun to play around with the randomization! Crashes a LOT in Logic 12 giving a popup asking to reload or disable the plugin. Reloading results in no sound, only way to get it working is to force-close Logic and reopen. Hopefully an update fixes it 🤞🏻
