 This is a very special episode. We're gonna be taking a look back on 2021 and all the new features and upgrades that we had at Artlist and ArtGrip. And stick around till the end because there may or may not be a giveaway. Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. My name is Ezra and let's kick this episode off already with the new features you guys ask for and how they have and will continue to optimize your workflow and save you time searching for the right song or SFX and more time perfecting your creation because that's at the end of the day what we all wanna be doing. Starting off with one of our product editions is the SFX collection. This is probably one of my personal favorite upgrades to the library. It just makes the overall sound design process so much faster since you have everything you need in one place. I honestly cannot imagine Artlist without it. It's like, how can I explain this? You know that feeling when you see your best friend or your partner or even, you know, more importantly you're like your new camera and you think, I cannot imagine my life without this person or my FX3. I think this was such an integral addition to the Artlist catalog. It just adds so much more creative freedom to your edits. The second upgrade is in the affordability category which is the personal plan. Aside from it being well-priced and affordable in my opinion, it helps you focus a bit more on the type of content you wanna be creating. For a lot of us, we create content for social media and once we start to decide to identify ourselves as social content creators you really start to hone in on your craft and your style and if you wanna learn more about the personal plan then click the link in the description below to watch a full breakdown by Leeran. Next, let's talk about the updates I personally would label as ease of use. Starting with the direct downloads feature. Now you can just quickly import the song into your project and just get the show on the road. Seamless, I know. This update saves so much time and as we all know, time is money. Next in the ease of use category is the play from waveform function. Now with this new feature you can just save time by clicking on the song directly within the catalog and see where you see fit along the waveform. Let's say for example you're looking for a song that has a slow buildup and a really good punch and you wanna hear where the song actually kicks into action. You can simply just click on the part of the waveform that has the uptick and then know within seconds if this is the right song for your project. The next category I would label as customization. The for you page. The for you page is designed to use your catalog searches and your listens and your downloads to curate a personalized library that introduces you to artists that you may or may not have known of without the specific for you page. The for you page is like that friend that knows your taste in music and sends you links to songs that you may like except the difference is with the for you page you're actually going to listen to the songs that they suggest. Moving on to the next category efficiency. Starting with the duration filter. Now you have three buttons that filter songs between 10 to 30 seconds, 30 to 50 seconds and then 50 to a minute and two seconds. And also you can set the duration manually with the from and up to boxes. Coincidentally next to the duration filter you can find the vocal filter which is actually the next filter we're talking about. Just like the duration filter the vocal and instrumental filter has always been there but now we've expanded it. So you are now able to filter your search by vocal, instrumental, female voice, male voice, duet, group and acapella. Next you have a game changing filter it's the exclude filter. This one allows you to filter out different characteristics of a song that you're looking for which takes it a step further than just including the characteristics you're looking for. Process of elimination. The next filter we have which is actually extremely useful is the similar songs filter. The benefits of this function are that it really allows you to get specific with your search. And another benefit of this function that helps you maintain soundtrack consistency throughout your projects which is just keeping the tone and the pacing coherent which makes your story that much more compelling. This next filter is actually a really fun one it's the new search filter. You can literally just type into the search bar your inspirations and your references. You can enter your favorite movie, your favorite director, your favorite band or any other keywords you can think of that helps explain the video or your film. This one really comes in handy when you just can't find the exact words to describe your film. And finally the final filter that's going to be added this year is the BPM filter. So stay tuned for that. It allows you to take full advantage of the Artless Library to get those satisfying beats that we're always looking for.
