@Alex Pfeffer each and every organization making sounds will have their own encryption using the commonly developed SW modules. There would also be more development around the sampler to get it more user friendly, kontakt is very powerful but also very clunky.

@Alex Pfeffer i wouldn’t be surprised if the company would even agree to look into open sourcing Kontakt and the dev platform. I think that the user base for full kontakt represents around 3-5% of their total user base. They have a very strong customer base and brand, and in some way they compete against their partners.

Great demo for SoundId I'll give it a try :)

There are several ways to go. One is to use the full kontakt where you will be able to pitched in great detail. Others use tuning VSTs to pitched a audiofile

@Sam Monks as for covers you might also consider images from websites like unsplash.com an image worked by a pro. At present a good image will always win over somerthing hastly generated by an AI app. As for video I think that we are in the Wild West, you have for example @nelliedits who is mixing both music, trailer videos and at times AI generatd stuff with some success, it doesn't look like he is getting in trouble for that. Making videos gets you into visual story telling, sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't go up in the vaue chain and look for collabs with screenwriters/video editors and come up with music based short stories
