only until the end, then you are on your own lol
I do not know a whole lot about the process of creating music in the digital age, therefore I am uncertain what to flag and what not to in this situation, so I was hoping somebody here might be up to the task:
@Pingu @BrokenDeck @LexRodent
- The Audio Guidelines (Music Maker Restrictions) currently state: "You may not upload music made with [...] BandLab (the mobile app, not Cakewalk)."
correct but people do it anyway
- There is a looooong list of Audio Portal submissions tagged as being created using BandLab.
that is a discussion that you need to have with 1 of or all 3 of the above At'd mods
- I suspect that a bunch of those submissions were actually created in Cakewalk and just have been tagged wrong - because artists on NG usually aren't the best at tagging their stuff.
nothing new there
- I also suspect that some artists who created tracks in BandLab will sometimes have been inconsistent with tagging their work as #BandLab, so there might be additional digging involved.
If somebody wants to help in the Audio Portal (or just wants to earn a ton of whistle points) and can reliably tell the difference between tracks created in BandLab and those created in Cakewalk (or other audio editors), this is their chance. But please don't just flag hundreds of submissions willy-nilly! We should make the Audio Portal moderators' job easier - not harder...
Thank you for your time.
A good post buuuuuut the EGB is primarily and exclusively for the reporting and flagging of movies and games media on Newgrounds, there is however the Audio Portal Cleanup thread which I have a feeling that you meant to post in. the audio portal cleanup crew deals with the audio portal the same way that the EGB deals with movies and games
same coin, different sides
you are free to stick around if you like, but we don't really talk about audio things here as it's not in our scope of practice, quite the opposite actually the EGB only looks for pretty close matches of major audio tracks by the minuet while the APC looks for copyright material by the second
for instance, a recent post from @Questtrek outlining how to detect AI audio tracks by putting them into a spectrogram and then doing a rather basic analysis of the bit map https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1375322/184#bbspost27933986_post_text
The EGB don't do that lol, not even close
good job btw Questtrek, that mildly blew my mind to see that method to find AI audio
