I’ve downloaded the plugin after reading all the positive comments then realized after a couple minutes that this plugin has a ton of improvements it needs. It claims to have better sounds but when downloading it only found majority of it is bad quality effects.

Though I have not created this comment just to hate on the plugin. I think in the future this plugin will be very helpful as better sounds will most likely be added and bugs fixed. I believe some features that would make this plugin 10x better(Not exaggerating) would be:

  • Create a pause feature! This has been asked previously multiple times, and I have a idea. Not sure if this is possible/will work but what if when playing a sound you created it inside of the Server Storage temporarily so you have the ability to pause it as you said above that you cannot pause sounds locally on a plugin. You might wanna also check this function out, from the looks of it it seems there is a function to pause a sound hence it saying Plugin:PauseSound() not Sound:Pause(). If you cannot do this please just get rid of the pause button image as it is very misleading making you think that the plugin is broken and uninstalling it entirely. I have never tested it as I’ve never made a plugin before.

  • As for the lack of good sounds, I think this will solve itself with community donations of sounds, you might wanna go through your sounds in the plugin every update and check for low quality/useless sounds. This will help your plugin help many others to come. I also highly suggest that you don’t be afraid to choose sound effects yourself that you feel like you and many others will use. I can’t tell you to get better music without helping you find some :grin:, I found the songs from “Restaurant Tycoon 2” were high quality and helpful in my game and most likely others games. I’m also 100% sure that these songs are not copyrighted as a game with 5k+ concurrent players uses them. You can find them all sorted up in ID’s here. Unfortunately I do not have any sound effects I can show you.

  • I think that making a skip forward/backward 5 seconds button would also be useful when skimming sounds. This would be where there is two new buttons that pops up when you play a sound that show one skip forward image and one skip backward image. When you click either button it skips the song backwards 5 seconds or forwards 5 seconds depending on button that you press. This would probably only be able to happen if you made the sound in server storage as mentioned above since you would need to know the Time Position to be able to skip a few seconds.

Overall, this plugin is not very good at it’s current state but has room for improvement everywhere. I hope this helps you know what to fix/add and helps make the plugin so much better! Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestions. Sincerely, ScriptKing :scroll:

Please do know this is all my opinion on the songs/sounds, other people might find them way more useful then me.

Version 1.7 will address many of these issues. Thanks for your patience.

Are the audio featured in this plugin free-to-use without the risk of getting copyrighted? (they aren’t copyrighted?)

The songs in this plugin are mostly from Roblox and have been licensed from APM music, which means that they are free-to-use. The sound effects were found in the Roblox Creator Marketplace and are most likely not copyrighted, although I suggest checking the audio beforehand.

Update Roadmap

Hello everyone, I’m very sorry for the delay. Update 1.7 will be released soon, hopefully by the end of this week. I’ve recently been working on other projects and did not have time to work on RoSound. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Also, note that the number of new sounds will be limited, as I’m still importing other audio. The remainder of the sounds will be included in 1.8. Thank you.

Here’s a sneak peek of the revamped filtering system so far:

EDIT: Sorry for the delay. Check out the updated roadmap for further info.

Would you mind sharing the method when it comes out? If so it could help a lot of people!

#70

I actually found out the method and told it to him, it should be coming soon!

The method is basically to create an invisible or visible widget and add an frame in it with an sound instance and you can :Play() or :Stop() the sound!

#71

Oh ok! Can’t wait!! This will definitely make the plug-in 10x better :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

#72

If you’re wondering , this is the legend who found it out, so credits to him

#73

:cool:

This text will be blurred

#74

This dosent work , just use the hacky method, nice try tho

#75

But surely, isn’t this the role of the Toolbox? i like the idea but I just think that using the toolbox is a quicker and easier way of getting game sounds :slight_smile:

#76

The toolbox is a really bad method of finding audio. It shows random low-quality junk or Roblox sounds that nobody wants or needs. RoSound is a curated sound library.

@regexman, thanks for figuring this out.

#77

also, i did a little test and it actually worked, time to continue my plugin
