“Claude did point out after it decompiled the plugin software and told me that it was not going to copy the code, because that is copywritten.”
Rhett Shull, at 3:17 of “I Think AI Just Killed The Plugin Industry” on Rhett Shull’s channel.
Around it
- 2:54 and my DAW of choice. About half an hour later, and a few dollars in token spend with a little bit of input from me here and there, I ended up with this, what's called Squish Comp. Now, I didn't name
- 3:05 it Squish Comp. Claude did. But this is, for all intents and purposes, a clone of my favorite compressor plugin in terms of its sound and its functionality. Now, I want to point out here that when I
- 3:17 was going through the vibe coding process, Claude did point out after it decompiled
- 3:23 the plugin software and told me that it was not going to copy the code, because that is copywritten. And so, effectively, what I have here is a functional and sonic clone of the plugin, but the
- 3:36 actual code underneath the hood is not a clone of the actual paid software that I bought years and years ago. Again, as I understand it. And this is it. And not only does it work, but it sounds
- 3:47 fantastic.
