The version of Emplode that I'm running just says "2.0" when I look at its "About" box. I'm sure the version you're running should be fine.

I indeed have seen that Rick Beato video, it's great (edit: I just re-watched it again too). In general I like both his interview videos and also his song analysis videos, good stuff. And Brian is just amazing in interviews, he always seems so earnest and friendly. (Also I'd sent you a link to that exact video back in 2021, but it's nice to have the link repeated here for anyone else who hasn't seen it.)
