Yes, and I have used those things effectively in the past. But sometimes real NR software is needed. I think if it wasn't needed, we wouldn't see so many good choices in the Protools world (like the Sonnox plugs, they're very good.) Anyway, I am just floating the idea. So far, a bunch of people have committed to contributing to such a Kickstarter campaign, were we to start one.
