I don’t think that would work because, from my understanding you get a certain amount of uploads per month per group. I could be wrong though

This goes without saying that this update is awesome. I hope that any license snafu has efficient and fair tools for takedowns of course (as a lot of other people said…)

I’m so sorry that you will have to go through that. I sincerely hope that Roblox understands how stupid this update is and they soon revert it back to the previous system.

Roblox Moderation is one of the reasons behind all this madness. If moderation was properly handled, we wouldn’t be in this situation, or any kind of dumb situation. As rumored that this change is happening because of Roblox getting sued for Copyright Infringement, it is basically Roblox Moderation’s fault that they are even getting sued in the first place, because the moderation system just couldn’t properly detect and strike down uploaded copyrighted music at the time.
Look where we’re at now.
There are many other problems with moderation, which most of you shall already know. Roblox Moderation really needs a fix.
This is just one of the reasons

And as I said yesterday, If you want to make 2 updates with a lot of sound, pretty close in dates to each other, that’s not really an option. Even if ur making one update with 11 audio, you might have to wait a month just to complete it!

I could do that. Point is, this shouldn’t be a problem to begin with. It’s a terrible solution to a problem we didn’t need to have. That’s one of fifteen hangouts.
I do too. I’m going to quit if they don’t, because I can’t be asked to keep dealing with shit like this so often. Seriously, the amount of doomsday updates I’ve had recently is incredible.
It’s because they don’t moderate audios. They have bots do it for them, like they do for everything else. Getting a real person from Roblox to talk to you is something that happens once in a blue moon.

It’s not difficult to DexEx? You need like 50k robux minimum for that, that is not an easy task to achieve. Also there are probably a lot of people who don’t have a passport or one accessible to them at the moment.
I really don’t get why you are defending roblox for literally wiping the audio library if the sound is over 6 seconds. I noticed you ignored my point on old/inactive games, the sounds from them games are going to just be gone and will likely never come back which is not something to be celebrating over because there are tons of games are not actively being worked on.
Roblox expecting developers to have to upload hundreds if not thousands of audios and risk getting moderated is not a thing to be happy about, so many games use in game music and now it’s gone. The only reason they made audios free is to trick people like you into thinking this is a good change, when it really isn’t.

I agree, This shouldn’t be a problem to begin with. Roblox is making a huge mistake with this update.
Sadly I do think they know the consequences of this update and are completely fine with it, Reason being that they are a multi-billionaire company and that they really cant be bothered with moderation and they’re taking the easy route by making all audios above 6 seconds private lmao.

Hoping this includes MeshParts eventually. Setting them to offsale == automatically make them private. This could be a gamechanger for exploiters that steal entire games.

In my personal opinion, I feel this is one of the worst roblox updates yet. As a roblox developer, I have had friends who have had to cancel projects that they have spent over a year making, just because they only got 10 audios to use and they had over a hundred that they needed to make. Even if they had 2000 audios, they would still need to upload 100 audios, which would take hours. I personally believe that this is an unreasonable change to force developers the go through, as the current system works much better.
Now, on to how this will affect me personally along with developer teams as a whole. Since I work with a dev team of 4 other people, these changes will force us to reupload a large part of the games assets, since they were not uploaded by me(rather the other developers),they will stop functioning. This will force us to reupload half of the games assets which would be nearly impossible to do. I feel this update will affect other developers in similar ways, breaking nearly half of the games on roblox. This update has made me feel like roblox just doesn’t care for developers, as this update is entirely negative for all developers who work with others.
Overall I just don’t feel like this is a good direction to hear in. Anyways, this is just my personal thoughts and opinions on this. While I do hope this gets reverted, I’m sure at least someone is happy about this, though that person certainly isn’t me.

This sucks that people like @BravenwolfTFS that might have to go through having to reupload many audios, then getting restricted until next month. Then repeat…
What is the result?
The fact that you were forced to waste a lot of time just to get audio working normally.
Doesn’t sound that fair does it?

Hey, so I checked the audio discovery plugin and there is this sound that lasts than 5.609 seconds, so less than the threshold, but marks that it needs to be replaced.
Is that a bug or is it this sound really going to be private ?

I would probably prefer to pay for my audios rather than have 10 audio uploaded for each month that are free. This is one of the worst updates by far.
Just from reading this post, absolutely unbelievable.
I cannot believe that we are here, spending thousand of robux on audios, only to find out that all audios over 6 seconds will be removed…?.. How is that not considered a BIG SCAM?
A multi-billion dollar company expects us to take songs from their self-made library, and think it will cover all desires? What if I want to make a car racing game? What about the sounds that it needs for the game? What about a shooter? What about a RP Game? You surely can’t put a song as a gunshot, neither can you put a Song as a car crash sounds, can you? This is terrible… I cannot believe it…
I am an inch away from quitting this platform, just because of how ridiculous it has become…
I also cannot believe that people WOULD LIKE THIS UPDATE, AS IF IT’S DOING ANY GOOD?
This is like throwing oil into a fire, absolutely useless…
I hope ROBLOX rethinks this, and maybe THEN we can start appreciating ROBLOX again.
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!

I can’t- NO, just no. This is nothing good. This is BAD.
Please, you are breaking old games.
I guess no more of that nostalgic RHS1 Music.

There’s 90 billion audios to check. This is basically impossible to brute force even with a team of 2k moderators before we’re all dead.
oh wow, im so glad roblox is blessing us with those crap audios:
(accidentally uploaded the same thing twice oops cant be bothered to delete it)

Keyword “entirely.” It is not just the music industry trying to snuff out the little guy, nor is it completely Roblox’s fault, but it is also the players’ fault for infringing the copyright in the first place. Sure some of them didn’t understand what they were doing, but a lot of them did it intentionally. The main issue with the sponsored music is that going to start setting off YouTube copyright claims for content creators, which is a major problem.

If you’re willing to vote, please do 
- Keep the update.
- Revert back to paying for audio.
- Change upload per month to per day, with a small upload amount that still helps developers
