The script opens with a discussion about recent music production news, including the release of new plugins and a copyright dispute. The main focus is on the NPC 3.0 open Beta, which has introduced significant updates to the workflow, such as a linear arrangement feature that consolidates all tracks in a single window, color-coded audio and MIDI, and the ability to change plugin order. The host also mentions a bizarre incident where Splice, a music sample company, issued a copyright takedown on a music attorney's video for reviewing their terms of service, which is considered a serious issue due to the potential for channel termination on YouTube with three false copyright strikes.

🚀 Introducing 'In Delay' - The Ultimate Delay Plugin

The second paragraph delves into the introduction of a new, highly advanced delay plugin called 'In Delay' by Sound Particles. This plugin is capable of handling up to 100 different delay configurations, allowing users to place and dynamically change the location of these delays around the listener for a 3D audio experience. It also includes features like air simulation for added realism. However, the plugin's high price of $148.99 on sale (originally $199) raises questions about its value and market positioning, especially considering the potential for system instability due to its complex functionality.

what is going on today guys low

frequency being here welcome back to an

episode WN your source for the music and

music production news we had quite a few

new plugins today we're going to talk

about the copyright we're going to talk

about splice false copyright striking a

fellow

YouTuber bad stuff bad stuff as well as

more let's get started I am so late to

the story that I almost debated not even

talking about it or making a video about

it I don't if you guys may have heard

this but the NPC 3.0 open Beta is now

taking place and they've added what seem

to be some great features and it's

actually a pretty huge update for the

workflow of the NPC it's available for

the NPC live live 2 1 1l x xse ke37 and

key 61 people seem to be excited about

the main mode it gives you fast access

to all your tracks in a single area one

thing a lot of people seem to be excited

about is the linear Arrangement it makes

it more like a Daw all track types are

in a single window You Know audio and

midi are both colorcoded and there's

automation for each track they've added

a track and Pad mixer mode individual XL

Channel strips for sends and plugins and

you can also change the plugin order now

and it's kind of crazy you couldn't do

that before I can't be the only person

that doesn't have an NPC and is kind of

enticed to get one now because of this

update you know I'm always I'm always

missing that Daw workflow just ah I love

me some computers I want some

computers and our next story soldja boy

claims that he's the first rapper to

ever shoot a three in a whales

mouth uh

uh

Jordan I thought that was going to be a

different clip there in our next story

we have something really interesting

another music Creator being silenced for

criticism by what I consider to be one

of the least likely companies to do this

but they did it and um yeah I didn't

expect splice to go this low so the top

music attorney released a video a few

weeks ago where she went over the

spliced terms of service to answer some

basic questions and see if there's

anything weird in there for those of you

don't know splice you you should know

splice like if you're a music producer

you should know splice if you don't know

it you're probably not a music

producer not that you not that splice is

all that matters out there but anyways

they they have samples drum samples blah

blah blah you pay a monthly fee you get

it during this video she showed a

license agreement for a sample from

their website SLA and because of that

for some reason splice felt they were in

the right to do a copyright takedown on

her video yeah for some reason that

license agreement that anybody can

generate when you download a sample

can't show that that's a no no it's so

bizarre to me that they took down this

video because it's pretty tame in my

opinion from what I had seen I mean it's

going over terms of service like it's

not it's not the most interesting thing

in the world filing a false dmca against

a music lawyer I'm not really sure how

they thought this would pan out for

those of you that don't know false

copyright strikes are a big no no on

YouTube if you get three copyright

strikes before they run out your channel

gets terminated it's it's one thing to

do when somebody has actually stolen

your video and re-uploaded it without

commentary or anything done to it but

doing it in order to maliciously hide

something or to silence criticism that's

bad don't do that bad so she stated in

her follow-up video that she actually

got to cease and desist from splice via

email they stated that she may have

mischaracterized some things and could

be causing confusion and they wanted her

to issue a new statement or retraction

Etc I will say this I did watch part of

her video and it's a long one it's like

40 minutes going over the terms of

service so it's it's it's a it's a hard

watch in my opinion um but there was one

moment where I was kind of like M I'm

not sure about that she basically makes

it sound like splice themselves are

content iding their own samples maybe

there are certain things in that video

they didn't like uh I don't know if it

was like detrimental though I don't

think too many people were watching that

video and coming out of it and thinking

splice is horrible after this though

this kind of makes them look a lot worse

in my opinion diverting topic here a

little bit the worst thing about splice

is that when you stop paying the monthly

fee they take away all your credits so

if you pay $9.99 a month for like 100

credits or whatever and you have like

1,500 saved up and you do not pay for

one month they're gone those are all

gone anyways they tried to Hash things

out via a call coincidentally after this

is when they issued the strike and they

claim it was for showing the propri and

they claim it was for showing the

proprietary license the irony of course

is that they have a video on their own

YouTube channel where they show this

proprietary license after this is when

she did the video talking about the

strike how it's false and overall just

explaining the situation but yeah splice

they pulled a whoopsie here they they

abused dmca law and in my opinion it was

almost definitely done in bad faith

unfortunately it is damn near impossible

to make sure people face repercussions

for this sort of thing and that's

generally why YouTubers and their

audiences care and should care so much

about this sort of thing and anyways bam

somehow out of left field Lewis Rossman

picked up the story and backed her up

basically saying like hey stop picking

on this 70,000 subscriber YouTube

channel and pick on me instead a

multi-million subscriber YouTube channel

who is not afraid to go to court anyways

the video ended up coming back up due to

her filing a counter claim that's

overall the gist of the situation um

splice bad uh still going to use those

credits though sorry copyright striking

bad and um yeah tldr splice pulled a

whoopsie

in our next story we have a new plugin

that seems to be the heavy artillery of

a delay plugin you may have heard of

sound particles before they previously

released their Skydust 3D synth which is

a spatial audio synthesizer meaning you

can control the spaciousness within the

synthesizer hence the name including the

word 3D their new plugin is named in

delay you can have up to 100 different

delays and different configurations and

you can place them anywhere around you

and the location can change dynamically

while playing The Source material you

can add air simulation to create realism

don't worry I'm just as confused as you

guys and you can customize independent

Channel sources for the 16 Taps that you

have

[Music]

available okay that is pretty cool that

is pretty

[Music]

cool I'm curious on the stability of

this software because it looks like

there's a lot going

[Music]

on so if you're thinking 100 delays is

overkill you're not the only one all

right that's it guys delay plugins are

done for there's nothing we we're we're

wrapped here we're wrapped there's

nothing else left to add okay and just

like that we've run into a problem it

costs

$148.99 this is the July sale discount

normal price is $199 so yeah this is

some expensive [ __ ] here you are paying

big bucks for this heavy artillery delay

plugin is it worth it I can't really say

I should have known it was really

expensive because there's a button here

that says C price whenever there's a

button that says C price it's about to

be really expensive in our next story

Mark Zuckerberg is in talks to become

part owner of

supreme yeah I'm not making that up

that's not a joke that's just that's the

headline there that's the whole headline

and that's the story oh boy this is my

favorite type of segment to do I a

segment where we get to talk about

me just a shout out to music tech for

featuring my recent interview with

Florian from Bad gear in their online

website yeah something I did not expect

I did not expect that interview to be

featured in their magazine website I

don't just do you just call it a website

now what do you call it so you guys may

remember I did an interview about a week

ago featuring bad gear You Know audio

pills does the show bad gear you may

have seen it a lot of you guys have

probably seen it cuz according to my

analytics a lot of you guys watch that

channel so they basically wrote a little

thing talking about how audio pills got

a little thing for ulie

barer and that's not just because

they're deeply in love anyways you may

remember in this interview I asked

audiio pills his thoughts on ulie

Beringer and why I would constantly see

comments of him saying how much he loves

ugly Beringer I basically just wanted to

find out if he was trolling we did not

get any closer to the answer tldr they

covered it that's it for this video
