[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

At this rate, this post will never get the change to automatically close.

@DevRelationsTeam
For the love of god and all the developers on Roblox. Find a better solution to this. This is ruining the entire feel Roblox had at the beginning. And it will keep being ruined like this.

Not only is the time span to short to upload all song people gotta upload. But people have been given random amounts of upload slots. 1 song will now have a million copies of itself within your CDN system

Wake the hell up and see what this update is doing with your community and developers. They keep the money rolling.

I agree. This update is literally driving me insane. I don’t know why they haven’t responded at all, there’s literally nearly 4k posts on this announcement

Hey, can you send me a place file with a copy of that sound?

It indeed is not okay since it’s over 6 seconds. I wonder what’s up with it, I haven’t seen any other sounds mess up in that way.

COME ON!!! I uploaded and made many of these audios myself under my own group’s game and can’t use them. This is going to completely silence a crucial part of my game. I can only upload 10 audios and these audios shouldn’t be blacklisted in the first place!! This plugin only checks if a sound is over 5.5 seconds and if it is, that sound is screwed. FIX THIS UTTER GARBAGE.

The worst part about it since it’s a waste of paid uploads.

70%? Last time I checked the “tax” for most things like gamepasses was 30% I assumed 30% as in that is the take Roblox gets.

100,000 robux is $1,000. With DevEx you only get $350.

Ah. You’re on about DevEx. I’ve never been able to so would have never known. I don’t do Roblox as a way to make real money. I just develop because I enjoyed it. But now with this update on the way I’ve been thinking of quitting. I already have my audio saved but I’m too scared to attempt reuploading in case moderation decide to hand me false bans for audio that was already on the platform and approved.

Everyone here is waiting to become the 4000th comment here

4k replies and still no response, patheic.

response is not necessary to know they themselves didn’t plan ahead for this update.
Just a reminder there was a typo when it was first released.

Almost as if roblox team just stopped giving a thing about the community. Oh wait, they already did. Remember cancellation of egghunts? Other sesonal events that used to be hosted by roblox? Giftsplosion? It’s funny how community cares more about roblox traditions than roblox themselves when looking on community egghunts like these. Shame on you, roblox team.

Exactly and I used to avoid this bullcrap by atleast using the studio’s option to search for time specific audios, but now they made it so that the search get’s more inaccurate to the point of only showing 2 audios because you wanted to look for audios specifically at 1-5 seconds.

There was another filter too, you could look for relevant, recent and etc, but they removed that feature too, they’re doing everything in their power to make everything a damn clusterf.

I certainly don’t like re-uploading audios but i guess it was a necessary change. Maybe it could have been approached on a friendlier way to developers.

that over 4k replies but just why?

roblox please response

And now we’ve hit the most replies I think I’ve ever seen on a DevForum post, near-universal community outcry, 5 days later, and no reply. Brilliant.

Let this be a lesson as to where Roblox’s priorities lie, everyone.

I mean, I’d probably recommended Roblox to not have a limit till March 22, since there are games with soooo many audios, so yeah.

I am once again commenting because the stupid plugin you guys provide only checks to see if something is under 6 seconds it doesn’t check if it will be private or copyrighted. So I am guessing all my old audios that I PAID for with MY REAL MONEY will be removed. Thanks roblox!

Really you should know yourself if you have the relevant copyright permissions to upload the audio? Why should Roblox know that?
I think it uses a blue tick if it’s private, green tick if it’s public <6 seconds. Not 100% sure on that.
