why am i witnessing every comedic “sfx” made by “pro sound effects” why does this exist please explain 
EDIT: In my opinion, what Roblox should do as soon as they can, is re-scan every existing audio for copyright (not sure how that’d be possible though) and set most old audio that previously had “distribute on marketplace” enabled back to public (just in case creators of old assets that they shared have quit). Prior to the announcement of this update, audio uploads were always off-sale by default but could still be used with or without the uploaders’ permission with the audio Id, so audio that were off-sale the whole time should remain private (under the new system) but with the ability to manually make them public.
With this, some music could return (that the uploaders previously gave permission to take) along with classic longer sound effects and narration that were previously public, while off-sale assets could still be protected under the new system from unauthorized use.
They should also add monthly limits for the manual publishing of audio (like other assets), and either remove audio upload limits altogether, or maybe have a daily (instead of monthly) limit for uploading audio, since there is similarly a daily limit on how many videos you can upload to YouTube.

As I stated in my original response; we all know
This is in reference to the class-action lawsuits of copyright negligence, I won’t push any further than that; however it’s hard to create a system that removes the possibility of copyright bypass.

They may never be able to completely stop bypassed audio from slipping through, but they definitely need to give the concerns of copyright infringement more attention, even if the likelihood of being sued in the future doesn’t decrease by doing so.

I think Roblox should be a good sponsor with NCS and Spinnin records from the licensed songs.

I was initially very critical but I now appreciate this change and don’t mind it, it was actually fairly easy to source my own audio. The only disturbance was moving personal audio and re-uploading it to groups.

I hate how the changes we’re stuck with for now look incomplete and at this point it seems I would understand the speculated reason (for halting the ability to distribute audio) much more if they didn’t say it was temporary. The fact that they said so may have gotten our hopes up but it still seems very confusing (or maybe they’re lying to us and that the “agreement” prevents them from re-enabling public audio, but I’ll be glad if that’s not the case). Despite their efforts I still feel we’re being left in the dark over what they’re doing because for now it looks redundant to upload audio due to the strict limit and the fact uploaders can’t choose to distribute them everywhere right now (not even sound effects!), and some creators might not be satisfied with Roblox’s audio including the questionable assets from Pro Sound Effects.

Why weren’t we told that Roblox limits how much audio a game can have granted?
Roblox caps the viewing for accepted audio at 200 in the View Audios plugin that Roblox provided. When I’ve published my games with 200-300 audios with in-game objects, for every new granted audio Id added- an older authorized audio Id gets knocked off the granted list.
Is this another flaw with Roblox failing to do Quality Assurance tests, or is this intentional?

That is strange. Can you check if Roblox-owned audio are exempt from that limit? Because for some reason I believe they are trying to get more Roblox-owned audio into experiences even though many creators supposedly have not cooperated with that and instead dealt with the new audio upload system; or they could have simply rushed the plugin and privatizing the majority of audio on schedule may have been their priority at the time.

It works with Roblox published audio, I checked with a game with about 210 sounds; I checked with a script to show the total number of sounds. I think it has to do with User Generated Audio.

I wish that things will improve in the future, such as them re-enabling more sound effects and eventually allowing many audio assets to be manually set between private and public. I have no idea why audio that is already public can’t manually be made private, as that defeats the purpose of what they say the changes are about.

I agree. I have just reached the limit of how many audio files I can upload and it’s extremely annoying. It would be very nice to have additional audio uploads for premium members, as well as the ability to purchase more audio through the old robux system should we hit the limit.

Unfortunately some devs speculate the audio upload fee was mentioned in the lawsuit and that it would not be coming back in any way.
I’m really certain that the strict upload limit is also to get devs to switch to using Roblox’s audio. If they can’t re-enable the upload fee or allow unlimited audio uploads (which may require the publishing of audio to be limited when (and if) they re-enable the ability to publish audio), then the upload limit should definitely be changed to allow more creativity on the developers’ end, maybe to 10 uploads a day (with no way to extend it at all) instead of 10 uploads a month and requiring developers to be 13+ with verified ID to upload more per month.

Question. I’m a music creator and got my own song that I created and have all rights to taken down for copyright. How can we fix this?
Thanks.

The reply above might hopefully explain the situation a bit.
I’d like to know how Roblox plans to prove ownership 
I can post a link to my Roblox account on my Spotify account 
The song that was taken down wasn’t on Spotify or any other streaming platform yet when this happened. I planned to debut it in my experience. Not sure how it triggered any filters, unless it was the sample I flipped from splice.
Whatevs. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. This puts a pause on my big ole future plans to give folks in my experience early exclusive access to songs of mine not released yet.
