As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to make music without having experience in it or commissioning for it to be made. Some people of course do not have the money and time for this.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because save up time and money, stop worries, make the game more engaging, help create a better game atmosphere and more.
This is why I present a solution. A built in music editor. It could save up resources quite a bit and would make it more streamlined. I don’t think the current music effects substitute for this either well enough. Whilst making music by hearing/sounds is not the best thing it certainly is better than not being able to and having to rely on music that may not even fit your game’s theme. I wouldn’t even mind if it was premium only. No expensive licenses with companies like VEVO would be needed either for it too.
Can you explain why currently available audio is not sufficient for you (Roblox has uploaded a huge library of APM tracks)? This library is enormous and full of high quality music, and any music editor Roblox could provide would not be the same tier as external tools specialized for music. What are your needs from a tool like this?
My needs are to create a new original soundtrack for my games and not all types of songs I want to use are on there or even exist. At times I need a specific mood/atmosphere for all of (if not, most) my soundtrack’s songs, not twenty different atmospheres.
Plus not all songs don’t need a ton of people working on it or good equipment for it to be considered “high quality”, an electronic song does not require a whole orchestra does it now? Just look at Portal’s Soundtrack and Tomb Raider (1996)'s Soundtrack.
Here are a few examples of the amazing amount of songs for these genres:
