What changed

A new 'Create' DAW product was added, the document was restructured with renumbered sections, User Audio/Mic Capture terms were consolidated, and an explicit prohibition on using the Services as AI training material was added to the general prohibited uses list.

Details

• •Added a brand-new section covering 'Create,' described as an AI-assisted proprietary DAW that lets users record, edit, and export audio. It includes its own User Audio, Mic Capture, usage, prohibited uses, and billing subsections, including an AI Usage Token system with free tokens, monthly allowances, and purchasable packs.
• •Added an explicit general prohibited use clause barring users from using any part of the Services as source or training material for generative or other AI models. Previously, this restriction existed only within specific product sections (Sounds, Instrument), not as a blanket rule.
• •The separate User Audio and Mic Capture sections that previously existed within Create Tool and CADO were consolidated into a single unified section covering all services.
• •DCI's definition was expanded to include 'affiliates' in addition to subsidiaries.
• •The document was restructured from Roman numeral sections to numbered sections, and product-specific cross-references were updated accordingly.
• •The old 'Create Tool' feature was renamed 'Stacks,' with its terms reorganized under a new Stacks section.
• •CADO section was updated: a Song is now described as potentially being a New Recording (previously it was explicitly stated a Song on its own is not a New Recording or Creative Work). Language about CADO ownership of Mic Capture was simplified and some explicit ownership statements were removed.
• •The description of Instrument was simplified; it is now called a DAW plugin rather than a DAW plugin platform.
• •Updated Last Updated date from July 24, 2026 to November 2, 2026.
