Banned from the Audio Portal?

Posted by Rig - May 13th, 2008


Then you might have received this message in your inbox. If haven't submitted anything to the AP yet, but plan to, read this and make sure your song follows the rules...

*ahem*

You have been banned from submitting audio on the Newgrounds Audio Portal for one or more of the following reasons;

- You have submitted copyrighted music
This is a place to share your own original works, not to post your favorite Eminem songs. If you didn't write it, do not upload it.

- Your song contain sample(s) that are copyrighted.
You aren't allowed to have ANY copyrighted samples in your song. Not even a millisecond, so don't even think about uploading that Soulja Boy remix. "Fair use" does NOT apply on Newgrounds, as flash authors might want to use your song in a sponsored flash (or Newgrounds might want to use it for promotional purposes) - once someone pays for a song with a copyrighted sample, you have to give some money to the original author.
Note: COVERS of existing copyrighted songs are accepted as long as it doesn't contain ANY samples from the original song - vocals, instruments, sound effects, etc.

- You used stock loops/samples in an unoriginal arrangement.
Put some effort into it. Nobody likes to listen to the same overused sample over and over again.

- Your song was an unoriginal MIDI-rip.
Downloading a Zelda MIDI and assigning it to different instruments from the original is NOT your own work.

- You used Magix Music Maker.
Besides falling under the Stock Loops rule, Magix Music Maker automatically puts all songs you create with it under its own license - uploading the song to Newgrounds is in violation of that license.

- Your submission was painful to listen to.
Give us a break. White noise, blowing into the microphone, screaming, etc. doesn't belong in the Audio Portal - it just annoys people.

my life in 6 ways:-
1)came back from chinese new year celebrations
2)immediately left baggage and logged into newgrounds
3)saw this message and opened it
4)screamed my fucking ass off after reading the ban message
5)wishes never to try uploading a copyrighted music ever again
6)am terribly sorry and wants to be unbanned =(

So he bans people mostly on opinion?
Suddenly, I don't feel so bad anymore.

Newgrounds won't be listening to the Band of Seven anymore, lmao.

Oh, and Rig, you're terrible.
You love your job though...

Oh well, lol.

Oh please. I Cutted together some L4D sound clips and you ban me? I've seen lots of others who got their submissions uploaded så i thought; Why not?
Here is an example:
<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/207503">http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/207503</a>

Can i be unbanned. Sorry, i did not notice this, and i used some premade loops in my song. But now i want to submit a song and because of the thing i did i can not.
Please?

By the way, i got no message of being banned. But still i am.
What the...?

Uh, yes, I was going to upload something from Fruity Loops when I was banned.

I'm banned from the audio portal yet i have no idea why, i have read through your rules. multiple times. yet i cannot see what i did wrong? i made the melodys and musical notes chords etc on my own steam using mixcraft synths and etc. the beat was a library sample provided in my program which by the way i paid for so im aloud to use i assume.
the vox on the track are mine, the lyrics are mine. and i cant understand what i must have done to offend or deserve this banning. all i want is a reason i dont mind taking my tracks elsewhere, i just wanna know why.

Is there ANY way of getting it back. I was so desperate to upload something about a year ago, so I uploaded a crappy remix of a song from my trail of Virtual DJ which I was crap at. Now I'm pretty damn good at FL Studio and I want to upload my DECENT music : (

can i please be un-banned, I promise no more loops!

So I guess I got banned for using Loops then. I never got a message telling me why though. No offense but my song wasn't as bad as some songs on here using Loops. But I guess that's just my opinion.

Can you upload freeware that says you can if you give credit to the creator?

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to upload something COMPLETLY my creation and it says you have been banned. I NEVER TRIED TO UPLOAD ANYTHING please, please, please, please help!!!!!!

why did i get banned? i just wanted to upload luigi's theme from smbz so ppl can download it! :(

It amuses me how your comments are a continual stream of "Why did I get banned?!" or, "I'll never do it again!"

Hah.

You've got to be joking... I just finished two of my first songs in my life, and I'm so excited to upload them here in Newgrounds... and what I've just found? "You have been banned of submitting to Audio Portal"...

What the...... Come on, guys. I uploaded some loops before, because I wanted to hear some opinions to then make the final song, and you ban me just like that? Please, I want to be unbanned and I'll show you I can upload quality songs. :S

Hmm, everyone's complaining about being Audio Banned, but the thing I'd like to ask is if it's even possible to be unbanned. Can anyone even clear Audio Bans?

I'm thinking of submitting a voice acting demo for people to hear, and now a ban that's like a year old has come back to haunt me, just because I was a dumbass 13 year old kid who made an (admittedly stupid) audio remix. Jfig111 is in the exact same boat.

I used musicshake for my music... does that count?

This is the third time I have been banned from the audio portal. I followed all the rules, didn't do a remix or cover, and everytime I posted something, it took more than 2 months to get approved. And I didn't get approved at all. Then after 3 months, I tried to post a new song I have made, and it said I was banned. AGAIN
Why??

If only I could upload audio again. :(

Yeah, I use to play some games here, but then I found a game from Coolio Niato where you can create levels with your own music if it is on newgrounds. So I created my song with a loop program (but I own the copyrights of the song, not like with magic whatever). Even if it were loops, I spend 5 hours to make it. Then I created a NG account and submitted the song. Then I was banned without warnig from the audio portal. WT hack ?

I do understand that you don't want to hear loops-made stuff. I didn't know that rule at first, before posting my song, but instead of just telling me : we don't accept loops, he blammed me. So go to #£!! moderators.
