Some good & bad news

Posted by Synami - January 23rd, 2023


So,

a couple days ago, I woke up to a month long audio portal ban for making 'painful audio'.

I got in contact with an audio moderator on discord about it, he's usually kind towards noisy tracks - even he agreed the file I posted in his messages was worthy of a ban. I was somewhat stuck when he told me so, not really knowing what to do next.. until!


He gave me the direction to the guy who banned me in the first place. We had a back and forth together, and it was decided that my ban's completely gone - as long as I edit out all of the offending audio to be less painful. This is why I had to edit 13 of my current tracks as to not get them removed off of the audio portal. I might have to edit more tracks, don't know yet.


Some people might be upset about my tracks having to be changed, due to a couple of them in particular having been notably used in Geometry Dash levels. Personally, I do find this middling - but I'm still glad that they get to be kept up on here, rather than removed entirely.


That's all there really is for now. Cheers.

good thing you both compromised in the end :)

What is meant by "painful" in this context?

Generally, really loud audio with notable peaks in the low or high end. If you know what DB and LUFS are (two loudness measurements), some of my offending tracks were peaking at 0db (the loudest it can go without going outside of the waveform preview) and around -4LUFS (for reference, Spotify tracks are usually -14 LUFS by default and modern bass music tends to lean at -6 LUFS.

I'm glad things got sorted out and that you managed to find a why to keep your songs on here. I would suggest that if you make any new songs that are similar to the ones you've edited or could be considered loud then you just reduce the volume and put the original audio onto YouTube or something. The one thing I'm confused about though is why they decided to ban you now instead of when you first uploaded those songs. If those songs were considered loud and painful by some people then I feel like you would've been banned earlier rather than later but then that's what I would've done so it's probably different for other people

which songs were edited ?

I've labelled them in the track titles as to differentiate them between my unaltered files. The edited ones are:

City in the Clouds, Serenade, Nemesis, breathe, Amen In Chat, GOD MACHINE, addict!, nice waveform, 180 shots a minute, Iris, DUST 2 DUST!, STARING IN THE EYES OF DEATH! and TANAGRA!.

seems kinda unfair that u almost got banned for a LOUD SONG… if it was settled that u just put a volume warning in the title or sth that would be fair id think

@Firespace bro that is actually the truest thing i have heard all day

@Synami
personally i love ur loud music so i dont know what is up with ng not allowing it -_-
