VERDICT

Should I use ADSR?

Never miss a deal! Find the best weekly deals on VST plugins and audio software. Instantly access thousands of royalty-free sample packs, $aLoops$, Serum presets, and the free ADSR Sample Manager for music producers. - adsrsounds.com

Depends. Buy if you are a hobbyist producer hunting weekly plugin deals, presets, and a free sample manager. Skip it if you want subscription sample libraries with deeper curation or if you are buying for a professional studio.
