In today’s plugin world, every plugin has alternative/s to choose from. The fact that you record with your all analog 500 series and then come into the box for hybrid processing makes it extremely critical to make plugin choices. It’s imperative that the plugins don’t eliminate the pre-existing flavour but retain, if not add to it. So, I can understand Yellow’s fundamental relevance….its ability to glue without killing the space, to smooth without smearing are certainly noteworthy.
