I have found an app that doesn't use stock loops and I am going to attempt to use it for all upcoming projects though I am not knoledgeable of specifically what will trigger P-Bot. I am requesting a runthrough of things that will and will not trigger the infringement sensor when using a basic, online, music-making software. (Ex. If online instruments, used in a completely original manor, will trigger P-Bot if another track happens to use a matching specific note with the same online instrument.)

Basically you don't have to worry about triggering the copyright bot system if you follow the rest of the NG audio guidelines. Don't use copyrighted samples at all, don't use samples in a stale arrangement, and make sure more than 50% of the resulting composition is your own original ideas. Mashups are not considered your own work btw, and neither are AI generated songs or songs entirely composed of loops.

That's the high points of the rules. If you need free music production resources, hit me up.

Also, are you a t.a.t.u fan by any chance? If so, that's my favorite band ever. Doubly hmu

I'm not a moderator, just a bystander, but unless you did so privately, I suspect you did not provide any proof* of your claim to the Audio Portal Moderators.

The easiest 2 solutions for hosting would be to either use your Dumping Grounds (as a holder of an "old" account or NG supporter [which would also conveniently solve your other problem]) or whatever other free file hosting service you use.
And to then provide a link either in a PM or in the links in your NG profile.

You're upset that one of your songs was flagged by our scanning program, and want to come ask about it. To consolidate all the little threads which float in Where is/How to and Audio forums, we've created a collective spot to dump your grief.

To keep things moving along, make sure you have done the following FIRST:

If you meet the above criteria AND it has been a few days since you filed the appeal (greater than 3), post your case here and we'll look into it.

Keep in mind, we are sorting through all the appeals manually which takes time to do properly for all parties involved. This process can be hampered by not providing supporting material at the outset.

Be polite.

So, if i wanna show proof that i made original songs, i need to upload them to my file dump, and then post the link here? OK, i'll do that rn

Edit: alr, i can't upload mp3s to my file dump, but i'll upload them to my google drive and then post the links here

Edit 2: Just uploaded 3 of my songs, i can upload 2 more if you need, here are the links:

No it was some lofi hip-hop song I posted.
Though a mod did notice my forum post (but not my appeal I sent for some reason).

Interesting. I don't even see another project file in the system for you. There IS a reverse search, so I'm sure there's a way to find out what happened. I'll take a look.

Replying my own post because editing won't tag properly. @TomFulp, do you know what happened here? There are no ban logs, files extant, and so on for this case. TLDR, I checked the post history -- he used the same samples as another song apparently, and his track was literally deleted.

@SugarSlash, if you have a copy of the appeal you received, or your project mp3 and the name of the song you were matched to, shoot @Pingu, myself, or Tom (if he replies to this) a DM with the related details. We'll look into it. The name of your sample pack will also be helpful.

What I think has happened is someone published a song with those samples to DSPs, and the copyright system matched to that. Sometimes people spam DSPs with unoriginal mashes of these sample packs to fraudulently earn a few pennies. In that case I will usually just approve the appeal, assuming the user put at least moderate effort into their submission and it isn't completely based on loops.

Weird, I don't see any unpublished project either. @SugarSlash this song was posted under your SugarSlash account? When you get an M-Bot message the song would typically be unpublished and we could still access it, so it's strange that it appears to be deleted completely.

There's a new one btw, it's the last one I think (i may be wrong, in any case it's called "...is A New Beginning"), it's a fan-made sequel to Dimrain47 - Every End, and it's a lot better than the other ones imo (it's not finished though, this is an early version and it's a little outdated, i've added around 1 or 2 minutes more to the song since the last render, which is the one i sent here)

Hi again, I finished "...is A New Beginning"! It turned out to be... how do I put this? A little longer than I thought it'd be, yeah, and uhh, it's 12 minutes. I don't know how'd I manage to stretch it for that long (it's around 4 minutes longer than I thought it'd be), maybe because I used 1 melody that Dimrain47 made (I'll credit him if you let me upload it), but idk. Anyways, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ffx4TcXsws5WFZ3qKYIgBTTCa4rgvMu_/view?usp=sharing

As I already said before, FLP's are always available if you need them, I'll send them as soon as I can. I'm really proud of this song tbh, and I would be really grateful if you unbanned me from uploading music. I promise that I will NOT upload any music that isn't mine, and if I use someone else's melody they will be credited in the author's notes (also, I've read some other posts on here about samples, I've also wanted to make some breakcore but damn I am scared of stock stuff now haha)

Edited to fix some typos and make my grammar a little better, because this is a very big moment for me tbh, this might or might not be a start of me not being atrocious at music. Maybe I'll even be half-decent at this haha

This is the song I accidentally got myself copyright striked for. Now I know to not use samples
