My initial Thoughts

iZotope Trash is not just another plugin

With its advanced features, ease of use, and focus on creative freedom, it sets a new standard for audio manipulation. For those looking to explore the depths of their sound or push the boundaries of music production, Trash 3 is an indispensable ally. Some say it sounds like Trash 2 in a condom 🙂
But also that they have to dive into its features some more and that it has great potential.
The interface isn’t resizeable.
If you already have access to ROAR in Ableton Live 12 or maybe even already own Trash 2, this might not be a “must have” plugin for you.
