Cannot Upload MP3 Audio via Creator Dashboard: Asset creation failed. Please try again later

Whenever I have tried to upload audio assets on the Roblox Creator Dashboard, I have been unsuccessful, receiving the following error for uploading an mp3 file:

Asset creation failed. Please try again later.

(However, I have not received this error using the Roblox Asset Manager for my experience and using the bulk upload feature for uploading one mp3.)

Reproduction:

1. Visit Creator Dashboard (https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations)
2. Navigate to “Development Items” > “Audio”
3. Click “Upload Asset” or Drag and Drop an audio file to be uploaded. (I used a 3-minute and 45-second long MP3)
4. Click “Upload” and see the following error:

Asset creation failed. Please try again later.

Expected behavior

I expected for the audio to successfully upload after trying again. However, each time, I was unable to upload the audio.

Note: The Audio and more information is available in the Private Message accessible to Roblox Staff.

I’m also having trouble creating assets but it has to do with animations:

Hi @InfinityBlot, thanks for filing a bug report!

I tried uploading the audio you provided on the Creator Dashboard and it worked for me. If you try now are you still experiencing this issue?

Hello @complexlint,

I am not sure if I should upload the audio once more because it appears to be marked as copyrighted in Roblox’s copyright database.

I uploaded a different audio (“Yet Again”) successfully (which I will attach to the private message) .

I was successful at uploading the original audio (“Negative2”) through Roblox Studio’s asset manager, though I got a message stating that it went against Roblox TOS:

I was using GarageBand loops in the track, which may have been registered as copyrighted in the system.

I have a few questions:

1. Should I be able to upload audio files with GarageBand loops? It seems that most of my GarageBand files are moderated in Roblox’s copyright database.
2. If I upload the file again, will it go against my moderation history?
3. If GarageBand loops are blocked under the current intellectual property database, and they are royalty-free, could you help me unblock the audio?

This is the Audio ID to the new and old uploads:

• Old - “Audio/Negative2” → Using GarageBand loops, registered as copyrighted → 17248531330
• New - “Yet Again” → Using BandLab AI song generator → 17257733698 (NOT registered as copyrighted for now)

I created an additional topic regarding this issue with GarageBand audio files that contain royalty-free GarageBand loops.

Audio Accidentally Blocked under Intellectual Property Policies

It appears that many royalty-free audios have been accidentally moderated under Roblox’s Intellectual Property Policies, even if they do not break any rules regarding Roblox’s policies. I noticed this tends to occur to: Public Domain Audio (Registered as Public Domain Recently) Royalty-free GarageBand and BandLab loops (Most likely as they are used in Copyrighted Songs) Royalty-free Audio Online One recent example is a recent song I made in GarageBand for a game, that was moderated in Roblox…

I will close this topic as the Creator Dashboard issue has been resolved.

Thanks for creating a new topic for the other bug report. To answer your questions:

1. If other artists have uploaded songs with GarageBand loops and protected them then we will detect that loop and take down the audio. In your case with Negative2 there was a 50 second match with another song that presumably used the same loop.
2. If you upload the song again it will not count towards any account suspensions (this may change in the future)
3. I’ll address this in the other topic you linked once I get some more information

Great, thank you for this information! I will ask further questions in the new topic.
