How do you upload audio via Roblox Studio?

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the audio upload in Roblox Studio by selecting Add Assets in the Audio section of Game Explorer. Any audio I try to upload following this methodology ends in this error:

In the Output tab, I see this output:

Is there anything special we need to do to support this?

The audio we are trying to upload works via the website and I have sufficient Robux to upload.

It’s probably roblox’s problem, since status code is 500. It means roblox have internal server error. Try to upload it in some time

It’s been doing this for a couple of days.

If any Regulars are reading this, would it be possible to raise a report in the #bug-reports ?

It works via web but we can’t upload in bulk.

Oh god, this brings back PTSD. I’m making a game with virtual instruments. Aka I have 4 octaves so 12 x 4 = 48 sounds which I had to upload and input individually since bulk upload wasn’t a thing yet. Had to do this 5 times so then 48 x 5 = 240. Literally was the most dreadful thing I’ve ever done on the platform. :joy:

Anyways, you might just have to do it the original way. Upload it on the website. Copy the ID. Add audio in Studio. Paste the ID in said audio.

This has been happening to me all day, doesn’t work for the website either unless the audio is less than about 3 minutes for me. Let me know if anyone finds an alternative!

how big was your file size? that might be the issue maybe rather than length? i wanna try it.

Tested file size rather than length, seems anything less than 4 MB works. my audio was 4 minutes but under 3.9 MB and it let me upload.

FYI, I just uploaded 72 different sounds as a single file and used some code to access each individual sound based on its timestamp:

  FAN = {soundConfig = {soundId = '6704826658', duration = 3, volume = 3, timePosition = 64}},

    if currentWord.soundConfig then
        local soundConfig = currentWord.soundConfig
        local timePosition = soundConfig.timePosition
        local duration = soundConfig.duration
        local soundId = soundConfig.soundId

        local sound = Instance.new('Sound', game.Workspace)
        sound.SoundId = 'rbxassetid://' .. soundId
        sound.Looped = false

        function stopSound()
            sound.Playing = false
        end

        sound.TimePosition = timePosition
        sound.Playing = true
        delay(duration, stopSound)
    end

This is still broken in both Studio and web upload.
I had to chop my song in half and reduce the file size to get it to upload.

im currently experiencing this exact issue with the exact error code in output, here’s the stuff for the technical ppl
errir

exact sound, weird thing is that it works when uploading to the website but not in studio but this simply isnt viable cause i have tons of sound variants and cant manual upload each and every one

Still an issue to this day. It’s so frustrasting that ROBLOX won’t fix this.
