I still use and rate Trash 2, wonder if this means there may be an update?

it's good... update "not planned" according to izotope's timeline chart

Looks like a lot of good stuff no longer being developed....Of all the things to pick to continue development on, stutter edit

Can’t be many people who don’t already have Trash 2.

Wow, to me, that's a huge list of very useful plugins that deserve to be maintained and updated. I'm also a little surprised that there are no plans for the Exponential Audio reverbs. Since they were acquired by iZotope, I assumed they would be continually updated or end up having their tech show up in new iZotope plugins. I guess time will tell.

yeah.. seems like Trash 3 would be popular but i guess 'not planned' means they disagree

Pretty sure they are still developing plugins using the tech, they just have discontinued development going forward on those older ones (feels a bit premature for Stratus and Symphony but what do I know). I think now you'd get Neoverb. I'm personally pretty pleased with Nimbus and R4 at $9.99 which I got this year (less pleased with Phoenixverb but only because I got it too close to them putting Nimbus on sale).

I wish they'd developing Iris into a v3, Iris 2 is pretty neat but they could make it great if they wanted to. Breaktweaker 2 with 8-10 sound lanes instead of 6 and better Swing handling would have been hella cool also. Oh well.

Edit: my phone put a cry emote, unintentional

If iZotope were to grant me a wish, I'd love to see some of the new features from RX 9 included in an Iris V3. I was an early adopter of Iris because I could see its potential uses for exotic music and sound design applications.

If I remember correctly, Brian Eno gave an interview about how he was using it and I remember thinking that Iris could bring new life to old recordings and even loop libraries. The synth is also visually appealing. I don't use it very much now because I have other things that have taken it's place, but it would be a glorious morning to wake up and see a big advert for version 3.

It's funny really,
I tried trash 2 when it was released and remember enjoying it but decided not to buy it .
Now playing with the free gift and it doesn't float my boat at all .
For every signal processing block in trash 2 there are far better alternatives , the serial routing can easily be replicated in your daw's mixer.
Strange how our taste in quality can change over the years .
Think I am just going to copy-paste the impulse response files and delete it .
But thanks anyway Izo !

Edit: can't really call this a N.I. gift since I had to create an izotope acount in order to install it .

I didn't, so this was a nice surprise.

Well that's unexpected. NI is giving away an Izotope plugin. And of course it is one I already have.

I guess that is why all the izotope plugins have been on fire sale pricing off and on for the past few years now. No (further) development costs.

Thanks for nothing.

What a slap in the face of the Trash customers who actually spent money and bought that plugin

Edit: It's just cool of NI to give it away, enjoy it folks new to Trash (watch the volume though)
