iZotope Trash By songboy on 11/18/2009 I'd like to make music my profession

Getting Started: There were no compatibility issues with this plugin and my Macbook running Logic 9 and Ableton 7.
The manual is clear enough, and if you haven't used any of IZotope's plugins, it doesn't hurt to reference it to get used to the interface. Its not a hard interface to use, its just that it has its own style and can be a little confusing at times.
Once you get used to it though, its pretty simple and easy to use.
Yes, the typical functions are fairly accessible. At first I would get confused how to navigate the whole interface, but the learning curve is not too bad.
Suitability/Performance: Trash has worked flawlessly time and time again inside of Logic and Ableton. It is very stable and has had no audio problems or crashes.
It does what its supposed to do which is give you a large collection of Distortion presets and great tools to design your own. Because of that, I give it a 10 out of 10.
I have been using this plugin for about 9 months. I got it about the same time as I got Schaak Audio's Transient Shaper and I find myself using them together to get really really dirty crunchy sounds.
Overall Opinion: What I like the most is that this is the best Distortion plugin I have ever used. You can tweak the crap out of it and get some amazing distortion sounds with a wide range of usage. It also has a bunch of modeled sounds ranging from actual amps to actual effects that are really nice.
What I don't like about this device? Well, not really anything. Its a great tool and a necessity for those wanting a myriad of Distortion sounds and amp/cabinet models. I really enjoy this plugin overall. It produces some very convincing distortion sounds that most people will believe you got from hardware gear. The overall quality is definitely a 10 out of 10. It can go from dark and muddy crunch to brittle and piercing sparkle.
I have used a lot of different distortion plugins including the ones in Logic 9, Ableton 7 and D16 Devestator. The only one that can truly share the stage with Trash is the D16. But Trash whens overall due to the vast amount more of options.
Yes, I would definitely purchase this plugin again. Its a must have for any person who likes using computer audio.

Getting Started: This software installed without any problems. I had no compatibility issues with my computer. It was extremely easy to set up and to use right off the bat. Izotope gives you a very thorough and clear manual though, for the more advanced features. Izotope definitely lays out their software in a very user friendly way though, so most things are easy to figure out on your own. Installation took maybe 10 minutes and then I was already using it.
Suitability/Performance: I have a Dell computer with an intel processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, and I use it with cubase. It works perfectly in this configuration since it is a vst plug-in. However it comes in many other formats as well, so I would assume that very few people would have any compatibility issues at all. It does not use very much processor power, which is interesting because it can change the sound so much. This has never crashed on my computer, so I would say it is very stable.
Overall Opinion: I have had this plug-in for over a year now. I love the variety of great, messed up sounds you can get with this. I have put this plug-in on a lot of different things: drums, guitars, vocals, bass guitar even. If you cycle through the presets it's easy to find an interesting sound and then tailor it to what you want in your song. My least favorite thing about it is that unfortunately a lot of the sounds are TOO messed up, and I can hardly imagine how you can fit it into any song. But then again - that is just my opinion. The other thing is that it can end up sounding very digital sometimes, and it can be hard to blend it with other things in a song that may have been recorded with a microphone. I still love this program though, it has helped me get a lot of unique sounding things done in my home studio for a great price. It is definitely a very good value for a software that even the pros use. I would get it again, it's really fun to use.
