I wasn't trying to slam DSPing or Plug-ins, because every artist i talk
about on this list uses them extensively. The explanation i gave was very
rudimentary and when i hear DSP for DSPs sake i think of some guy randomly
patching plug-ins and calling the work that plops out genius, when really
its just a cop-out...
