Nectar 2 Explained - says it all!
I've had this plugin for quite some time now. After just a few sessions I find myself saying "So that's what that is for". Not long after that I was saying "Boy was I doing that all wrong"! Needless to say I haven't wasted any money in advancing my understanding of how to produce a good clean recording.
