True. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to play in the popular
style of the present (Pop). But that's not the same thing as assuming
that using the plugins/effects used on a recent hit will automagically
produce something interesting, or that you need them at all.

Some months ago someone wrote that zita-at1 was indeed the only 
usable autotuner on Linux, but that unfortunately it could not
produce some effects that were popular at the time. As far as I
know, that refers to male singers sounding as if their b***s are
being squeezed or roasted. Is such an effect an essential element
of 'the popular style of the present' ? AFAICT it will be forgotten
soon if it isn't already. It's the sort of thing that gets boring
the third time you hear it.

Ciao,
