[Update] Changes to Asset Privacy for Audio

[Sir_Highness]

Yeah that is annoying, I had one of those, -1 from your upload slots for a blocked audio, oof.

They should have saved the limit for after the deadline so ppl could fix their games at least, then turn on whatever cap they came up with. Too late now.

I hope they do, same as I hope for better overview of people or groups I want to share that asset with.

Will there be any seamlessly looping vehicle engine sounds in the library? Currently, I can only find sounds of cars passing by and impacts (including vehicle human body impacts )

Say goodbye to blaring loud music with boomboxes bois

Can we get clarification to how the upload limits are determined?

I went from 10, to 100 after verifying my account. I’ve spoken to other developers and their limits are far higher. We’re all on Devforum as regulars, all been playing for several years, verified and so on, even having bought Builders Club in the past as well.

What’s the criteria for these limits, because right now they seem arbitrary and that is rather frustrating. I understand the need to limit it to preserve both storage and bandwidth costs, but at least publishing how you can increase your limit to the max would be great…

Unfortunately I fear that most SFX will still be silenced on Tuesday. For me the plugin has not qualified anything longer than 6 seconds (except Roblox-owned audio), and they were promising to eventually have user sound effects be public, but I kinda think that is just a restating of the fact they were going to eventually allow distribution without having an estimate as to when…

max time limit for privacy should be 20 seconds tbh

[Nexiiles (Obunga)]

I would be fine with it if all the audios were public and you had the option to make it private, and the cap was increased to 50… this will break most of the abandoned games (eg. Games that stopped updating) and games with boomboxes, or paid music in games. I find this sad that Roblox is coming up with updates like this. You guy’s are known for bad Developer Relations… and it took another bad turn.

[AndivipeqYT (Andivipeq)]

10 sounds per month it’s not enough. For developers should be minimum 150-200.

[RJD12345]

I don’t know if it’s just me but didn’t there used be ‘Most Favourited’, ‘Most Relevant’ options etc in the audio search settings? This appears to be no more. Now it’s just the ‘Creator’ and ‘Sound length’.

I’m almost certain these options were available in the past. Anyone else agree?

If so, I would love to see these search options added back please. I like searching for popular audio. It makes searching for the most popular audio (and often the best audio) much easier.

This week, we introduced asset permissions for audio. Creators who have edit access to an experience can now grant permissions for that experience to use audio assets from their account. These permissions are managed from the Configure Item page of audio assets and will help those who have uploaded audio using personal accounts avoid re-uploading to a Group in order to keep the experience’s audio functional.

You can read more about this here .

Would be cool if we could also allow people to use our animations like this.

[EuropoorSimulator]

They were, but for some reason roblox decided to remove under the guise of “improving search”.

Improving Trust & Safety in the Creator Marketplace

Trust and safety are vital to the Creator Marketplace ecosystem, and we are proud to announce three improvements that will help both developers and asset creators. More relevant results First, we are reworking our search and sort ranking algorithms to boost original assets that are most helpful to developers. You should notice more relevant results in the coming weeks, which will make the Marketplace easier for everyone to explore. As part of this change, we have removed a few sorting options.…

This release is specifically targeting music. We understand your concern that many SFX assets will also be made private on the 22nd. We have a dedicated team working to keep many SFX public, even if the asset is longer than 6 seconds.

Take this team and make them do the opposite. Make them take down the few offending audios instead of whitelisting only a few of the compliant audios.

[zPersonaDeCorazon7u7 (UT_AltPlayer)]

In my opinion this update is not too bad at all, fortunately the game that my friend is making doesn’t use many songs, the only thing that I complain is that I can’t upload songs and put it in the game that my friend is making. (Team create)

[Reuvinn]

I don’t really know if this update is this bad or not anymore.

[Lavulle]

Finally decided to start re-uploading my audio, and my group game still doesn’t allow music uploaded by me to be used? It says it allows my experience to use it, but it has the red X in the game’s Audio Discovery so I was wondering if this will be changed after the audio update takes into effect tomorrow?

[WaterGuy130 (Water)]

After digging though many of these free sounds, I find their quality dubious at best. Most of the sounds are uncut or sound like they were made by two sweaty teenagers in a garage smacking things with plastic. Why not partner with Tommy Tallarico, a sound designer who’s audio assets are far much usable and of better quality?

@tnavarts Will audio by RobloSam/clockwork/Shedletsky still continue to work? They uploaded some SFX that is used by some recent games still.

[x_Calebs (Caleb)]

If I paid royalty rights for specific songs, how would I get those rights cleared for use with roblox? Who do I contact? What about NCS sounds?

[PizzaGob1in]

I’m not sure if someone already answered or asked this, but is there any plans to make it affect only newer audios or is all of them going to be affected? Because applying the new rule to all of them would be a bit problematic.
