[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

[Jmacattk2021 (BobTheBalloon)]

Isn’t making alts and putting them in your group against TOS? My friend made like 2 to try and re upload audio, but got a 3 day ban. Try this at your own cost

[Almonty7655 (BusDriverAlmonty)]

As far as I can remember alt accounts themselves are not against TOS. Unless they have been changed recently.

Roblox I think you need more sound effects in your collection, since every keyword I type just ends up being a song for some reason. The only sound effects that I can find are 2006 sound effects, but those are also hard to find. Please release more sound effects with this update.

I work on a group game. This change has been a hassle for me.

My experience dealing with these upcoming changes:

1. I must reupload audio associated to my profile used in a group game. Some of these audios where uploaded 5 years ago. I no longer have a few of these audios on my machine. This is a problem.

2. Audio uploaded by a profile can be played immediately by the uploader regardless of the pending status (A great time saver!). But pending audio uploaded to a group can’t be played immediately by the uploader. This greatly slows down my workflow for I’ve been waiting 30 minutes for a single audio to finish pending. (still waiting)

3. Audio uploaded to an inactive team member’s profile will be impossible to recover.

My conclusion:

I believe we need two things before March 22nd.

• The ability to set an audio asset to public. (Fixing problems # 1)
• All audio uploaded before March 22nd is set to public. (Fixing problem # 1 and 3. This would also preserve older games and remove this extra work of reuploading which many here don’t have the ability due to the 10 uploads per month)

Until having this ability, Its likely the game I work on will have missing audio for an uncertain and unsettling amount of time.

@Sir_Highness

You didn’t pay for the right to play copyrighted songs. Type in your favorite Roblox procured song codes and enjoy.

I don’t agree with that. Not all of the audio I used was copyrighted. I paid for stuff that won’t work anymore so I would like to be reimbursed!! And don’t tell me “You can uses roblox audio” NO! Roblox’s audio sucks and it’s impossible to find good music because the library is poorly managed, to find good audio it’s very difficult

[Jmacattk2021 (BobTheBalloon)]

I 100% agree with @LeDragonGamer115577 's statement. Roblox need actual good audio. Not Kidz Bop quality audio because what 13 year old wants to listen to kidz bop? ( Knowing Roblox, they are going to start putting kidz bop audio on the catalog now since they probably read this. Man. That’s gonna give me the cringe elementary school dance vibes.)

Moderation takes a very long time. I uploaded an audio and it took more than 10 hours. So your audio in you processing won’t be close right away (Hopefully it takes less time in the days to come)

[Jmacattk2021 (BobTheBalloon)]

Yes, I uploaded a decal a week ago and it is still pending.

[AngeloFawkes]

yea that sounds great honestly @tnavarts @BitFist be aggressive with this idea pls

[Ninjafofinha13]

I agree, the lack of honestity makes us feel even worse.

@LeDragonGamer115577

This update is a disaster for many games, developers and players. Then it may be that roblox is not the choice (it will be good if he gives more details on this subject because for the moment we don’t know much)

For me it must first do some things before doing this update:

1 Refund ALL music gamepass! We paid for a feature (which will be removed) so Roblox must reimburse the people who bought the music pass (in Robux of course).We paid, it’s normal to be reimbursed!!!

2 Improve the audio moderation system! If an audio does not pass moderation, do not ban anyone who tries to upload the audio because we all make mistakes. Also it is useless to create a useless asset that will be named “Removed for copyright” or “[Content Deleted”], just put a message that says that the audio cannot be imported.

3 Improve audio library interface (Well mainly for Roblox audios). It would be time to have filters like, the duration of the audio, the type of audio (Music, SFX…), from whom the audio comes (By APM or other?), the type of music ( Rock, Pop Electro…) and others if possible. You tell the developer to use your music so update the audio library so we can better find the audio we’re looking for (I think roblox audio isn’t 100% bad… Finally, I hope…).

Here is a proposal. Afterwards, if you don’t agree, don’t hesitate to offer your suggestions or to reply to this message, but please remain respectful. Thank you for reading this message.

Ah also I used Google Translate to write this message, I apologize in advance if there are errors.

I add this :

4 Give the developer more time to update the games

You can download audio, using Chrome extensions (BetterRoblox), or these steps.

Steps

Right click the play button…

Copy this…

Go to that URL, play the entire audio if needed, and download it.

Downloaded audio might be in another format (OGG) but still work as .mp3 if you try playing it.

I’m thinking of moving to Godot too any tips?

[Sir_Highness]

The portion of the audio that you used that was legit can be made public again, if it is in fact legit. (once the temporary pause on setting audio public is over)

[Sir_Highness]

Try using the song length filter in Studio, it helps, but still there are so many duplicates and non sfx sounds it is hard to weed through them all to find something useful.

The lack of filtering is puzzling to me. How hard is it to put a filter by: favorites, date, song length(although studio has this, the web search doesn’t), category(song, sfx, etc)

[LeDragonGamer115577 (LeDragonGamer)]

@Sir_Highness

(once the temporary pause on setting audio public is over)

When it will be back which is not for now (See never) Knowing roblox it’s going to take a while (Really a long time)

[FlatRight]

I know still, all the processes to reupload the audios

[Penguinzuma (Zuma)]

all of this wouldnt be nearly as bad as it is if roblox actually did something about their moderation

don’t get me wrong this change is still terrible but i don’t want to reupload already existing audio for no reason just to get my account terminated or something along those lines because god forbid i upload an audio that has already been accepted by moderation before

[d_ylan]

Over 4,000 replies here are against this update, is ROBLOX planning on making a comment on that or are they just moving forward with it and ignoring their community?

[Temp_Iates (Template_s)]

Roblox is making everything worse by forcing people to Verify Id (send thier personal information), making every game that got radio pass in it useless and will get roblox in a problem of getting sued for scamming people, not giving developers with huge amounts of audios like shooter, etc games enough time to fix everything, not giving normal players enough amount to re-upload/change the audio of thier games. games are going quite and this is a big problem.
