Roblox Moderation AI taking down one of my soundtracks

So I tried uploading a soundtrack by the name of “Escalation”, everytime I uploaded it, it was taken down by the Moderation AI due to violating Roblox’s IP Policy., I tried appealing the asset and Support brought it back but rather than keeping the same audio file, it was replaced by a default piano soundtrack. So I tried uploading it again and it was taken down once again, I contacted support and then they said they don’t do appeals for soundtracks at the time. Me and my sound producer then begun trying to find matches depending on the song or the title and found nothing. Our main theory was based on the audio waves and I tried to put it to the test by speeding up the song and uploading it as “Escalation II”. It got through. Then we put it to the next level by keeping original version of the soundtrack but exporting it from Audacity rather than FL Studio, and it also got through.

So I really want to know what exactly was the issue with the original file. Does the AI just flag files from FL Studio as something bad?

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Understand what actually flagged the Moderation AI.
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Roblox’s Moderation AI keeps taking my soundtrack down for some unknown reason.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Creator Hub?
    Sped up the soundtrack and changed the source of the export. From FL Studio to Audacity and the soundtrack got through the Moderation with no issue.


I have no idea, but my guess is that if any default samples were used in the creation of the song then it could possibly flag it as copyrighted.

Quite funny because we used no samples at all, and we didn’t even use any other pre existing soundtrack for inspiration. Complete originality all the way :melting_face:
