[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

What happens if I upload royalty-free music to the platform if I can’t find anything to replace existing ones? Don’t get me wrong, the selection for us small creators to use is something, but not as good as you would think. It’s the same with sfx. I can’t find the length of the audio I want unless I test it out multiple times.

To make sense into it, that feature will take some time to implement and the lawsuit strictly forced them to get rid of the copyrighted music right away. I’m not saying in any way that they did this update the right way, just that they didn’t have that much time.

A consistently asked question that needs an answer, will the Upload Limits increase for non verified users? People are forced to spend years on reuploading/uploading hundreds of audios because of this change, mathematically & currently.

I can imagine what a great change this will be for developers! Imagine needing to pay 30 robux for every voiceline in your game. What a nightmare that would be. However, the setting to private of audios is not needed in my opinion. You guys do a lot of stuff to make sure that everything is copyright free, so this is an unneeded change that has caused hassle. This is just my opinion, though.

I’d rather pay 30 robux for every voiceline in my game if there was going to be any than wait another month to upload another bunch of voicelines if I had already been past the audio upload limit, which is 10. [not counting the 100 or 2000 audio limit that is given with no information, and no I’m not going to give roblox my ID]

Very true, However, Roblox has said that you may see changes to your limit (Probably depending on your account age, and some other factors that may determine the legitimacy of your account and intentions.)

Edit: I totally agree with you by not giving roblox your ID and LITERAL FACE. I understand this issue, and it is an issue i have myself too. I don’t trust roblox with my ID and a selfie of myself. They may say they delete it, but do they really? Its a big privacy risk. I wish there was another way to verify your age. Maybe by giving your name and city, so that they could check with your town’s administration. I don’t think roblox will be doing this, because companies are so obsessed with information.

I’ve been on the platform for almost five years, I have a clean moderation history (nothing more than a few warnings), I have 100+ total place visits, yet, I am limited to 10 uploads.

No way am I sending Roblox a picture of my license.

@tnavarts Are we supposed to DevEx at least once in order to receive the 2000 audio limit or is the limit only given to certain developers?

They said: In the upcoming days. They probably still need to make changes to your account and mine. They have thousands, no, millions of accounts to check. Give them some time.

same here, still limited to the 10 audio limit.

Almost any actual game uses way more than 10 audios, so replacing them all would take months.

For those complaining about limits then it can be circumvented using alternate accounts and a group game. Becuase the group games can use any audio that is uploaded under the groups name. And the group owner can assign ranks with permissions to upload audios.

And theyve only given us 2 weeks. Good job roblox, once again, failed successfully.

This scares the crap out of me, like if meshes are next, my group game would be trashed (I’m the leader of said game), because most of my meshes are uploaded from my old computer (like all my audio) and I cant reupload them to my group, and I don’t know how to even make more complicated meshes, so everything from tree’s, some benches, rocks, and many other things including simple shapes will be gone, I’m just a builder, not a 3D modeler, I rely on this stuff, also all models that has meshes in it that I shared with my friends will be destroyed, its bad enough that they wont have any sounds in them now… If I want to share things that I made with my friends, I should be able to do so, its what half of what roblox is based of for god sakes.

The meshes and models will be optional to private.

:confused: :confused: :confused: wait… so I can’t listen to the catchy Bloxburg build mode mode music? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I’ve never dev ex or had premium yet I have 2000 upload per month

I also love how this is all based on something that they “believe will be wanted”

I see. Thanks for clarifying. Do you know what determines who gets 2000 uploads and who doesn’t?

LOL YES! They act like this is the best change ever on the platform
