unless you're going to automate the settings under each effect and play around with different combinations of solo and global effects within the same track, dblue makes your otherwise good song a shit fight.

i mean, this shit isn't "idm in a can". and it sounds terrible when you randomly throw it into a regular old song like i've heard on some dance radio stations lately. the best usage of dblue is subtle usage. nobody shouldn't be able to tell that you've used it just by listening to it once or twice.

classic example of how not to use dblue: steam machine by daft punk. i totally look up to daft punk and i don't know if it's specifically dblue that they used in that song but the "glitchy" sections in that song sound absolutely tacked on, like they were just an afterthought.

classic example of how you should use it: remix by aphex twin. again not sure if it's specifically dblue but it's implemented smoothly into the track and settings have been played with throughout the track. it's also used seperately on various elements with settings and automation unique to each instance.
