It's slowly starting to make sense to me too. I have had to study it a lot but it's getting there. I think with everything, it's just a case of trying it out and then you learn by doing. You may make a little mistake here and there but don't do your tests with large amounts. It is actually pretty difficult to get wrong with the VFTLab though, these guys have done an epic job on making it easy!
Yeah man, I'm up for that collab and getting some VFTs together. Once this post everyday challenge is out the way and I have some time to recoup, will message you on Soundcloud.
