Is it really impossible for a vst to have something like AWT# inside of it that would embed the watermark on the fly before it sends the audio to the daw/speakers? Again, i think the downside would be, the end user may introduce artifacts with specific combinations of options in the vst, but i guess as a user, we would just assume we created a poor preset?Sendy wrote:Oh right. I'm kinda with you on that one. I don't see how they can have any kind of workable system with it to be honest.

There is also the very real problem of the "slippery slope" and the sort of paranoia (and terrible sound quality) that could arise in the future where watermarking is everywhere in multiple layers and everybody is afraid to sample the slightest little sliver of sound
EDIT: I see they even supply you a free Android Listening app, to detect watermarks. This thing sure seems amazing, id love to know how well it really works.
