Do you want unscouted posts like this or just scouted ones?

All removed / banned.

Yes unscouted audio should be paid attention to as well.

Three things:

Firstly: http://justviper.newgrounds.com/audio
I mistyped the link (!) earlier.
One is clearly stolen; and probably the others too. (description on all of them is "For Geometry Dash")

Secondly, what's the deal with this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGMvbUbq1CE&feature=youtu.be

I've tried to contact Police120 on PM about it and he says he is a contributor to the track. I find this hard to believe as 1. it's an actual hit made by semi-famous artists (In Germany, that is) and 2. Police120 changed the name of the song when porting it to NG. This made me believe it was original work at first, but now I'm just very suspicious.

Thirdly, this.

Yeah, they're all stolen. Taken care of.

OK I am not going to even believe for a second that he contributed anything to the stuff he's submitting. He's posting music from various artists, some less known than others, and often changing the name of the song he's uploading. He claims he "helped" for some of them, but given that his grammar is poor at best, and he has no other social profiles to help his legitimacy. He's a thief and a liar, and it'll take a lot of project file screenshots and testimonials from the original artist on his end to make me believe otherwise

Thirdly, this.

Does anyone know of a good song identifier? A site or program which will listen to small portions of songs and identify them? It would help me with some sort of AP cleaning.

I know of Soundhound; I don't use it though so I don't know if it's good or not.

I use Shazam and SoundHound! I have them as apps on my mobile. They're braindead simple; just play the song you want to identify on your PC, load up the app, hit their "listen" button, and after a few seconds, they'll tell you if they identify the track at all. If they do, they'll give you links to videos of the track and the full name/artist. They both have pretty extensive databases and rarely mismatch songs, plus SoundHound even identifies humming/melodies! They're fantastic pieces of software.

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted to know. I used to have a verizon app that did it on my chocolate 2.0 (was that 06?), haven't seen one since.

Please delete this one. It was already done while back.

(This is a classic to me, please don't delete this vid)

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2015-05-18 09:26:07


Feint- Snake Eyes

The Living Tombstone.

Kill me if I have to come across this song again.

Virtual Riot - Energy drink

this is just a small partial screening of the unscouted list from yesterday. I'm not going to ask what Geometry Dash is, I honestly have no idea, but I already know it is evil.

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2015-05-18 11:07:55


Nev

Didnt even do F777 the justice of naming the song. "Deadlocked"

lol

diplo - revolution

This must happen a lot.

Martin Garrix animals

Snoop dogg remix, claimed to be the producer . Im into remixes, but I hate the fact that dudes like this make me dig through the garbage pile that is the youtube to find out it is a copy.

Don't report songs as "stolen" if you can't recognize them ;).
Just say they're suspicious.

Spam the thread by all means. Big lists are kinda daunting and if you submit them gradually as you find them it makes things a lot more manageable for us. The only consequence of spamming the thread is that it'll often get bumped, but I am certainly not against having the cleanup thread at the top of the forum anyway...

Uses samples from... everybody's favorite

The samples used are used with permission. Evidence to this effect was provided to the mod that initially banned me. I was immediately unbanned, rescouted to the portal, and apologized to. The mod was very civil, and actually did his/her research before making the decision to unban me.

The license on the samples used is made clear to all that bother reading the description on the youtube video of the song, and remixes aren't just allowed, they're encouraged.

I understand trying to protect a musician from potential copyright infringement, but at least do your research before outright accusing someone of copyright infringement.

Are you paid by these artists to report POTENTIAL copyright infringement?

I genuinely have no issue with you reporting actual infringements, but there should be some sort of source cited when accusing someone of breaching copyright, which is a LEGAL MATTER.

Just earlier this month, the rules were wery different. No unoriginal content was allowed (permission for useage from the origina artist or not). The user H20Studios had every right to report the submission in question.

However, Copyrighted sampling is now allowed. Make sure you select the proper licensing and attributes in the project settings. (I have taken the liberty of correcting the song in question for you this time).

@NekoMika @Step @Breed

I think this is borderline, but still falls within "cover". IMHO her songs don't warrant removal. All that is needed is correcting the licensing attributes. What do the other audio mods think?

Found this about the newcomer who created a topic called "please", lately :

This comes from MapleStory's soundtrack :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSs70139W0

Also, I was sure I had already seen his nickname, and I was surprised to see he has only two forum posts. Actually, he already created a similar topic under what seems to be another of his usernames :
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1391453

I'll try to see if this other track comes from somewhere else, but I don't know where I can search.
Edit : I haven't found anything so far with the enigmatic informations provided in the description. ^^
