    It's a crying shame that Izotope discontinued selling Trash 2 a couple of days ago. Also. when I load it into Live on an M1 Mac all I see is "?"s for text and they have no plans to update it anymore so it's a gonner. Now looking for an alternative... I've got Berserk which does interesting things, but maybe I'll checkout Rift which looks pretty great.
    BTW, found your channel last week and been loving all your old-school DnB content. Back in the day I had an e6400 Ultra, a Z1, a Nord Modular, etc and spent times sifting through DOA for tips. I then quite playing around with any DnB stuff for a couple of decades as my work life really kicked off. I've been feeling the itch again and your channel has been the perfect springboard for the renewed interest and a great knowledge refresher. You know your DnB, you are genuine, and your pace of delivery is perfect. BIG UPS.

      Check out Hack Music Theory on UA-cam. I've really liked that one.

    Trash eye-opener for sure for me. But something I still don't get is how the distortion presets are really useful. I'm so used to Fruity Waveshaper that I always skip the Trash distortion module. I think the reality is every different piece of sound needs a different treatment. Simply skippig through presets is not a good workflow for me. When people design such diverse options inside a plugin should also justify it by explaining when and why you should start using the various presets with different kind of sounds. Or am I just rambling about it? Probably :S
    Also some Iris pad workflow would be great.
    I got these 2 plugs like many for amost nothing and never really explored them even if I feel there's something there. Probably you don't give alot of value for what you don't pay, innit?
