Your ban has been reduced to 3 days remaining in length, since you were not aware of the nature of your offense until after the fact. Please take some time to review the audio portal rules so you don't get snagged again!

Thank you!!
And I'll make sure this doesn't happen again!
I am still experiencing this issue, the bot still has the same response and it has been much longer than I initially thought it would take. I would love a response at some point on what I should do as I do not see a way to appeal it.
The initial popup for the copyright infringement flag when I went to upload it was one of my tracks but when I go to appeal it in p-bot he still just says "Hang tight! We're just checking your audio!".

I got flagged for copyright infringement on my own work. the copyright infringement detected is indeed my own track, i just prefer to also distribute what I make onto NewGrounds and I would like help on figuring out what to do next or if I just need to keep waiting as it has been 6 days where P-Bot's DM was stuck saying "Hang tight! We're just checking your audio!". an extra 3 days after the anticipated 3 days wait time from what i've read elsewhere.
Thanks ahead of time,

This is because the bot has only one function, to detect copyright! I've approved your appeal. Safest bet for you is to come here with each appeal until you are scouted. Otherwise you'll be waiting a bit!

Here's what Pingu is saying: if the process of making the music is so easy that literally anyone can do it, like loops only, AI music, or ripping instrumentals of other songs, then don't upload it. A good rule to follow is, yes, while you can use some royalty free loops, make sure that they don't make more than 50% of your track.
As for DAWs, there are good free DAWs (audio software) that are not completely reliant on loops. Reaper has an unlimited trial, for one, and I recommend it. But anything that will allow you to write MIDI (music notes) will do.
See the AP Rules for what is specifically disallowed

If you want resources for making your own music, I write a blog of free music production plugins and samples for producers. You can check that out on my userpage. If you have any questions, let me know!
If you decide to continue making music that follows the rules, you absolutely can come back and have your ban lifted for that purpose. We're not jerks who want to see you permabanned.

Of the mentioned apps that will work, FL Studio is the most powerful for mobile that will allow you to create your own melodies. Unfortunately, mobile is just not a great platform to make original beats outside of those apps (FL, sunvox, caustic) and NG is only for original music, not loop music. I recommend looking for reviews of any apps on YouTube and seeing if they are usable for writing music, versus loops, and then learning how to use them.

Hello, I'm an independent artist and a few days started trying to upload some of my music on newgrounds to try and expand my reach. However, since I have my songs on spotify and other platforms already via distrokid, the P-bot automatically detected copyright infringement from my own works and won't let me upload. I got one of these sorted out on my song "fragged aht", however, when trying to upload more of my own music, it gave me another infringement from myself. It takes ~24 hours to upload just one of many songs because of this. Since I own 100% of my own music, is there a way I could be whitelisted to not automatically get flagged everytime I upload something copyrighted that's my own works? Thanks for any help. If you need more verification my twitter is @wokeups2, soundcloud @wokeups, and discord also @wokeups. Appreciate the help.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/106331 one of my songs called rising action got copyrighted for “copying” a song. i think it was copyrighted simply because they use an instrument similar to each other. i use Medly cause it is free but that also means i have limited access (i need to pay to get the whole app, and i didnt) so it is basically impossible for me to copy the song, because i dont have full access to all instruments, and beforehand i didnt even know the song existed. now i can’t post any music which is sad cuz i made a remix of one of my favorite songs
i dont know why i was unscouted a year ago and idk how to appeal it. all my music is my own original work.
i think im banned from being scouted? because after this long, i feel like if i were able to be scouted it would have happened by now

I've reset your portal status so others can scout you again. The prune action was taken by Tom and could have been for any number of reasons. It could have been that you ended up scouting people who broke the rules and got caught in a prune-net. It could also be that your music (without listening to the full catalog just a common example is this) is close to breaking some rules such as spam or ear rape. But you seem to be genuinely trying and producing some cool beats so I would wager the first one.

Yeah, I remember you! But it's been a long time since all that jazz. Just keep up what you're doing now, learning and experimenting, and sooner or later you WILL be scouted! (I actually really like what you're doing with your drums, very creative)
I do post quality free music prod resources to my blog as a monthly magazine btw. Lots of stuff to read but specifically last edition I did a producer advice column for mix/master at the bottom, and I forget which month there were a few companies that went under and gave out all their paid plugin suites. Mentioning this because it might be relevant to helping you get scouted now that it's possible again!

Hello o/
In 2016 I uploaded a dj-Nate song. I am not sure why I did that, especially since the song was on NG already. I got rightfully banned for that.
It's been 8 years, and I would appreciate getting unbanned, so I can upload my first original song!
I have read the Audio Guidelines, and I am aware of all the things, I can and cannot do.
Thanks in advance.

That's awesome! If you like, you can send it to me or another mod for a review since you're caught up in the appeal process. Glad to see you kept at it!

I got flagged for a remix of Pedro Pedro Pedro, which I found on youtube. had no idea it was a real song, but liked the racoon. Kept the vocals the same, but distorted the music for my younger cousins, cuz they thought it sounded cool. decided to post it here. been 3 days, and there is still a hold on my account

Yeah, that's just a ban for uploading things you don't have the right to. You had to click "agree" a few times to info boxes letting you know the rules.
