this is made mostly of VR sample pack sounds, if im hearing correctly

Not really a valid assumption. I have that pack and have never heard those sounds.

And if using sample packs is not allowed these days, boy am I screwed for having using them.

^Sounds too much like the original to be considered a remix

^Nightcore is not a remix

As long as the samples aren't copyrighted, you should be fine. We're not worried about "oh, that kick sample is from X". We're more so concerned with "Christ, did he really rip a Bieber acapella and paste it on a Skrillex track with Mozart reversed over top?" Big chunks of songs are a no-no. Copyright is a no-no (not even a millesecond, if you read the rules). Sampling stuff in an original arrangement should be totally fine unless you're breaking other rules, like midi ripping the same synthesia shit we've all seen 500 times on YT.

Tending to your reports right now btw. Thank you!

I keep a daily diary for that. Today, cold, slow. Just rounded off the last reports from @BlueAlpha14. Some things have changed regarding NG and GD btw. Thought you should know from now on that AP artists have the option to disallow their tracks for GD, and people will no longer be able to scout themselves into GD. No more new artists are getting in without RobTop's approval. NG will have no control over who gets in or who doesn't.

What this means for your GD friends is that effectively no illegitimate songs are going to make it into GD, so you might as well just report them here and spread the word that brute forcing the AP isn't gonna work anymore.

Also, now that we have the choice whether we want our songs ingame or not, I'm going to be updating my licensing, and possibly doing requests for people IF they ask nicely.

That's why I didn't think the track should be removed. I think just about every dubstep noob has used that sample pack. I only use the bass samples when ABSOLUTELY necessary, but most of the drums I've been using since This is the End was from that pack.

Copyright is a no-no (not even a millesecond, if you read the rules).

I assume this applies to remixing as well, but I still follow the 10% rule.


Tending to your reports right now btw. Thank you!

Your welcome, I'm glad to be helping out. And I'm glad to hear about the Geometry Dash thing. Now maybe artists like Xtrullor can have a say in if they want their songs overused and disable them. Now I'm just waiting for the unscouted section to realize they are wasting their time and membership lol.

REALLY?

Why upload an f-777 song if he will/will not upload it later?

This was obviously copied off somewhere

Doesn't belong in the audio portal

Some copy off some artist.

Also, I'd like to know exactly who they're stolen from so I can do the same.

2nd one was copied from IOSYS, 1st one was copied from F-777, and 4th one was copied from JJD.

AND yes, i flagged all of them. They should be off the portal.

Others are gone. Can you recall where this is from or if it's ripped from a YT video? It sounds like it, but I'm just gonna v0te appropriately and change the genre to misc for now.

Also, seems morons on the disreputable end of the GD kitty pool aren't getting it, still stealing like the dickens. Mayhap because our banner doesn't yet reflect that soon, it won't matter whether they're scouted or not, they still won't get to use their duplicitous uploads in GD.

@Cank, can you take a listen to some of that b3yond guy's stuff? I'm scratching my head.

^Original song plays in the background

^All 3 of those are Virtual Riot. I'll provide links if any mod needs me to, right now I'm lazy :P

^I cannot remember the original song, but I know it's not theirs. Even so, they're not Etzer anyways...

^GOD SAVE US ALL

^Anyone familiar with EH!DE? I've been adding so much of his stuff on my phone lately..

If it isn't obvious this is stolen lol

^Well by the title and picture it's obvious it's by Marshmello but I'm not familiar with the dude enough to know which song it is.

^I've mentioned who Pendulum is before, right? This duo is what later became Knife Party (and any long time user on this thread knows who they are)

^Credits original artist in the description

^I have reported this song so many times...

^The "megalovania" caught my attention, but I don't know if it's for sure stolen. Familiar with this @cank?

^MDK

^Different Heaven and EH!DE

^F-777

^A mashup is not a remix. Literally they took the drops from Evil, 211, Fairydust, Figures, and ripped a big chunk from Sweet Dreams

^Basically edited the remix of another person's work, and from the looks of the description they didn't do much. Even so I think this isn't allowed because Coldplay is represented by a large record label? Correct me if I'm wrong.

^Source for both:

I've been meaning to post some older stuff I found that's bookmarked on my tablet from all the "get the song" levels. My tablet's dead atm, so I'll get around to it tomorrow.

Np, after EDM364 told me to do so I realized I shouldn't have expected the moderators to know the same artists as I.

Yes, especially when one of the moderators says that they should be called dubstep "things" instead of songs lmfao.

Which didn't make sense, because there's some dubstep that's quite melodic. Most of the AirwaveMusicTV's dubstep section is mostly chill/melodic. Even if it's "Skrill-like", there's still melody and structure. It's just really bass heavy and violent, which I like.

Most stolen, ahem, content is dubstep.

That's because that's all these people think their levels will be fit for. And, dubstep is kind of popular on the internet. Yet, I think these people just enjoy dubstep parodies and "dankstep" more than the actual principle of the genre, which gives dubstep more of a bad rap than it already accumulated after 2013.

I actually like "dankstep." Especially when it's violent and bass heavy. Like the Fuck Her Right In The Pussy dubstep made by Personal Dennibro on YouTube. Wobble, wobble, wobble!

True, I did like Trumstep by Arius, and I've thought of making some kind of "step", but let's be honest I'm struggling trying to make a simple drumstep drop kill me

They're the same song, and the second guy admits to stealing it, so they're both stolen.

If I remember correctly, they were made primarily out of pre-made loops.
