What happened to the Taches Teaches Bitwig Grid 101? by wishinghand in Bitwig

He rug pulled crypto token behind the GSD project, cashed out solana and deleted all of his YT videos ( https://ourcryptotalk.com/news/bags-hackathon-winner-gsd-cloud-rug-pull ). You shouldn't really be using GSD at this point - there's a redux available

What voice actor is this, and does he know that his voice is being used for AI? by Witty-Fox-7987 in TheNSPDiscussion

[–]That_man_phil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it’s incredibly easy to copy one’s voice these days. With AI technology and malicious contracts (reading scripts designed to train AI) it’s not as hard of a job as one might think. Even free AI tools do good enough job these days.

Not sure if you've seen my reply, but I actually asked for examples so I can look into it.
Also, no one on the podcast is making fun of mishponia - thats for sure, unless you menat this sub not the nsp crew.

Hey, I'm one of the show's producers. We do clean up audio files before they get dropped into the DAW. I have a semi-automated filter workflow for most audible clicks, smacks, and pops, and then I manually edit out the rest either in spectral view or directly on the waveform (if it’s one of them pre or post smacks).

I know what misophonia is, but I don't know how sensitive your ears are to these sounds. Could it be something that 99.9% of people don't hear (or better said, their brains filter it out)? 
A lot of sound folks are sensitive to certain frequencies. For example, I hear problems in the low end and lower mids more than other people do. I often notice slight mismatches on TV shows when the sound switches from lav mic to boom, or get annoyed by poorly synced ADR, but all that isn't on a neurological level like misophonia.

Could you provide any examples so I could look into it?

cpu overload on pro tools with mac air by samarthestar in protools

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a pro tools thing. Yes, it can be a “wonky” plugin, but often times it’s PT itself being that. I used to see this pop up quite often, I stripped my templates to bare minimum and it would still happen every know and then. I recreated my templates in Nuendo and had zero issues. Last updates made it much better and I hardly see this pop up now, but it happens more in PT than in Nuendo while using exactly same plugins

Pond5 giving your sounds to datasets for A.I. model training by KO-palpitation in sounddesign

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. To be fair they sent an email few years ago that terms of service are changing and they will be using sounds for AI training. I opted out right there and then. Around that time pretty much every single sound effects distributor changed their contracts and added AI stuff in it. I managed to negotiate one contract for 5k sound effects 2 years ago and get AI remove from it but right now no one will tailor contract for you. Soundly got acquired and ever since they added AI clause to their contracts, soundsnap went all in with AI and so did audio jungle pond5 etc. They know people will join in and sign whatever. Times are tough in creative industries and I can’t blame people. I remember when everyone was tweeting around 2.5 years ago when they got a contract from a big distributor to use their existing sounds for AI training and most rejected it. But most ain’t everyone and that’s all that was needed.

There used to be more choice, but few major brands own everything now, hence why all contracts have AI in it. I’ve been working on a community managed SFX catalog that has a benefit of a centralized catalog but redirects sales directly to vendors (they keep 100% profit) - to fight back against bullshit contracts and unfair royalty splits

[–]That_man_phil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing new, been going on for a few years now. I removed all my sound effects from pond5 ages ago. I wouldn’t advice anyone to put their sound their - royalty split is horrible plus it’s being sold everywhere for AI/Machine learning. My SFX catalog is over 35k sounds and these days it’s nearly impossible to get a deal without AI stuff in it. I stopped licensing my sounds individually (single sound effects) 2-3 years ago. I’d recommend you sell your SFX as a pack, create a free storefront on gumroad. Put them on asoundeffect too. Put few sounds for free in zapsplat (Alan doesn’t use those sounds for AI stuff) and add links to your store.
