You can't delete forum posts on this site. If your submissions aren't entirely comprised of stock samples & loops and I happen to be mistaken with my report you should try argumentating that fact. Otherwise I'd suggest you read the Audio Guidelines more carefully.

Stolen Harlem Shake Remix


Hey friend, I just want to tell you, it's not a good idea commenting that "someone stole it" and give it 0 stars, well yes you are correct that it's not theirs. Just keep it to yourself if you believe it was taken by someone else. This site doesn't allow negative reviews, otherwise that's rule breaking and eventually the review gets taken off. Just be more careful in the future

Forum posts cannot be deleted, as Leavesz said. They can be edited for a short time after posting (15 minutes if I remember correctly), but not deleted. Forum mods can go and delete your posts if you ask, but usually not someone else's. If you feel that your audio was improperly removed, submit an audio appeal. I personally thought your songs were loop spam, but I've been wrong before. Also, commanding someone to remove a post is rude and doesn't look good either, even if said post claims your music is breaking the Audio Guidelines. You should take a look at them if you haven't already.  As someone who has posted in the Audio Portal Cleanup Thread already, I thought you would be a little more keen on what to publish (if you indeed posted loop spam).

It's less so negative reviews, and more so negative reviews with no constructive criticism or feedback. I’ve written at least a couple hundred negative reviews, but I always point out something that the user could improve upon. In the past, I would write in reviews if someone was obviously using Suno AI. That wasn’t allowed though, as it was (and still is) considered an accusation. So I now instead focus on why the track doesn’t sound good. I usually focus on strange melody choices, bad bitrate, the dreaded “crusty high tones”, or the indiscernibility of the vocals. I know that these issues are caused by the AI model, but I can’t point that out. For non-AI tracks, I still usually try to focus on ways that the artist can improve, even if I gave them a high score.

what about the remix to Blast Processing. I don't think it will be deleted, since the song itself is on Newgrounds, however, it can be attributed to a low-grade remix consisting of the usual drum sounds, most likely it's even a drum loop from looperman.

Those last two would not be against the reviewing guidelines to my knowledge. According to that and the abusive review guide that's still linked in the FAQ (albeit it contains a fair bit of outdated information most of it still stands), you can basically say what you want about a given submission so long as you don't attack the author or other reviewers.


Unless I am misreading something in which case it would be appreciated if a mod chimed in to correct me if I'm wrong.

You should, it's basically just a drum loop playing over the source material; there's no amount of real effort put into those kinds of "remixes".

Uhhhhh... this dude is back.


Fresh off the AI model:


He's probably going to have the same argument as last time, that the instruments are real and the vocals are AI, but I'm calling BS. It's all made by Suno AI. Listen to the guitar around 01:35. It sounds exactly like how Suno replicates acoustic guitars (not very well). Obviously the vocals are AI, there's no hiding that. I was going to run it through a spectrogram, but he didn't even bother to change the bitrate in the metadata, which still says 192kbps, the exact max output of Suno AI. If it wasn't clear before that this is an AI uploader, we have this now. I decided to run it through the spectrogram anyway, and what do you know, there's a perfect cutoff at 19kHz, again showing that the bitrate was originally 192kbps, the max output of Suno AI. @ADR3-N, can you please take a look?


Metadata:

Spectrogram:

iu_1283083_8914923.webp


Also, since I have people's attention on it, does anyone else think that his previous songs are also made by Suno AI? I have reported some of them before and they are still up. Looking back on it, I think some of them might have drum tracks thrown on top of the Suno song to make it crisper, but it's not easy to tell. I think the top one, "Nursery Rhymes and Metal Crimes", is entirely made with Suno though, as everything from the vocals to the guitar sound screechy and annoying (in a very Suno-like fashion). Also, it has a bitrate of 192kbps, the max output of Suno AI. All the ones other than that I am less certain on. They all obviously used some AI, but I'm not sure to what extent and if it's allowed on Newgrounds.

Not sure. I'm fairly certain it's not Suno AI though, as it doesn't have the same artifacts that Suno spits out. As for the bitrates, One of them is above 192kbps (Suno's max bitrate), the other is below. It could be another model such as Soundraw, but I'm hesitant on that.

It's still odd that they said it's made with FL studio, as it doesn't allow for mp3 exports at either of those bitrates to my knowledge. I guess it's not out of the question that they might've re encoded the file for whatever reason, but comparing those two to something they appear to have actually created (which happens to be at a bitrate that FL studio actually exports) makes me think it's not legitimate work either way.


Oh well, I guess trigger-happy reports like these are the reason I never get a gold whistle.

Remix on song with copyrights. Also sampled original vocals is here.

As far as I know, if you try to download the original song, Newgrounds won't let you do it because it's copyrighted.

It's also in the “Featured Content” list at the bottom of the page.

Soon its going to be 10 years this site was taken over by GD fans posting stolen music, why?

On 9th November 2014, that was when GD was turned into 1.9. At that point, robtop allowed music from NG. It went off great, I mean without GD, I wouldn't know famous artists such as PX9, TheFatRat, Dimrain47. But we didn't expect the site being raided by GD fans. When I played a skrillex song for example as a kid, I got sad at first finding out the song wasn't allowed. Learning the rules from NG changed my mind, because I would feel bad for Skrillex.


Now, I knew NG before GD, mostly from playing website games in the late 2000s, but I got way more knowledge from NG after GD. Again, GD changed Newgrounds in both a good and a bad way. It's crazy how Dimrain47 was already popular on NG before the game. He got way more famous after all the demon levels using his songs, but Dimrain is proud of it. PX9, too.


Alright anyways:

@G2961 brought this frontpaged track to my attention, and I share his suspicions that generative AI was involved here.



I suspect that this frontpaged song is either Suno or Udio AI. The mixing is off, and the sound of the trumpet/guitar thing sounds exactly like Suno. Not only that, but the bitrate of the track is 192kbps, the exact max output of Suno AI. Why would they upload it in that exact bitrate? While this is preset often listed on software, it isn't used very often, and is much lower quality than 320kbps. (Beepbox is the only software I know that uses this bitrate by default.) They might have added other instruments on top of it, but I think the underlying track was made entirely with AI. If anyone else has imput, that would be great.

Also, about the potentially AI generated frontpaged song, this user also supports the use of AI art (or at least they imply it) with this comic. It's not surprising that they would support AI music too.

As someone who uses KHinsider on and off, I can say that many of the songs there are very, very copyrighted. In fact, there is an entire list of gamerips that have been taken down over the years at the request of game publishers, a big one being all Sega games a few years ago.
