[Action Needed] Upcoming Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

[BuildIntoTrains (BIT)]

source and link to some of these? That would be very helpful for me

It’s 100 for ID-verified users, it’s most likely people who had DevEx’d before

Hey I exactly. Also consider I have spent over 4k on robux on audio (not expecting to be refunded) and my game has over 900 audio and my game isn’t even released yet! All of my projects have been cancelled as I can’t upload 900 of my audio again most are my old models but the torture of uploading that.

Audio uploading with monthly limits is a good idea but what wouldn’t be a good idea is to make audios all private. I mean all Roblox games need audio

[alwayssimba (BlackTemplar)]

As a member of the Military Developers I feel like this server is really stupid, we need audio to run our games.

E.G: Guns, Doors, Voice lines. etc

I feel like any Developer that has audio for every little thing.

What does this mean for other asset types like Models, Meshes, or Animations?

• Initially, privacy will only work for audio but we will eventually unlock it for all other asset types. You will then be able to choose whether to make any asset public or private.

For private assets, you will be able to manage who uses them by granting permissions to individual accounts or experiences. This will give you significantly greater control over who can use your assets and means you will eventually have more options with how you upload and share your assets.

This seems to be the only slightly beneficial thing to come out of this as we don’t need to worry about these assets getting stolen, but I’m still really concerned for all of the game developers who are unable to find/buy/create new audios because of the limit in place, or are unable to find new ones from the library that wont be impacted by this alteration.

2k posts wow, guys, continue to protest! We can’t let them win! Before it’s too late!!

[Sir_Highness]

Do this procedure with a copyrighted audio and you roll the dice whether you’ll get a strike or account delete.

[AMysteriousMan12 (Lamer)]

I haven’t DevEx’d or verified, but I get 2k. I think the 2k audio limit is given to people who have at least 10-20k visits on a game, judging by what I’ve read in this thread.

[SynthwaveSpirit (Spirit)]

Funnily enough, I save all my SFX when I make them, so reuploading shouldn’t be a problem.
The problem is that we shouldn’t have to do that in the first place.

[Minify1 (Parf)]

i have 10k visits on a game too but i only have 10 audio uploads per month?

[BritishTrainspotting (BritishTrainspotter)]

You make a very good point. Roblox could even sue the companies for their legal harrassment and earn some extra buck for it in the process, so its a win win for them, I dont see why they dont tho…

@HandsomeNoob120

Audio uploading with monthly limits is a good idea

On paper, yeah it seems like a fairly okay idea.
But in execution? It’s a massive roadblock, especially if you have thousands of sounds being used in a game.

[steel_apples (scary steel_apples)]

its already too late.

@sylenox

oh my god this is literally going to kill the platform bro what are they DOOOING

Making an attempt to appeal to investors, apparently…
They need to consider us; the players, the developers, the people who make their platform their platform!

We’re the ones who have been making them money for 10+ years, we’re the people who caused the platform to become as popular as it is today.

The CEO needs to turn on his brain for 5 seconds and realize that this update is only harming the platform. We appreciate free audio uploads and all, but this is only bad for the community.

Posted by someone I really hope roblox withdraw this update as its going to effect me badly and roblox market is alreddy falling to the ground.

[4667hp (Account Info)]

I have 2 Place Visits and I have not DevEx’d or verified, but I get 2,000 Audio uploads a month

[MatkeFTW]

Will this impact plugins and how will this change impact plugins? For example, my plugin Studio Radio allows users to play audio tracks that are uploaded to Roblox, will they still be able to do that in the future?

[asimo3089]

Well, moving Jailbreak over wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be.
We had about ~60 sounds hit from this change and we were able to save a large majority. We should be good to go on March 22nd when this change rolls out.
Our biggest loss will be the classical music radio station which is understandable. Although these written pieces don’t have royalties attached, whoever plays them do.

@Judgy_Oreo That doesn’t change the fact It will break millions of game’s on the platform

@BitFist

When we turn on the new privacy settings, the audio assets in your experience will stop working if they were not uploaded by the same user or Group who created the experience.

As for scripts using ID’s, they won’t work in anyway which is sad when you realize! Most scripts on most roblox game’s will end up breaking and won’t work.

Note: If you script events based on a sound playing as a trigger for gameplay, please be aware that these events will NOT fire if the sounds fail to load because of privacy.
