Hey guys.
I'm a new account (for showcasing music) but an old newgrounds-er
Is it still the case that first submissions won't get played?

I just uploaded the first track of my E.P., which i consider my favorite.. :/ bummer.

Not sure exactly what you mean by this... the song you submitted for approval won't appear in the "New Submissions" list, no... If that's what you mean.

Regardless, I've approved you.

I tried a different browser (was using Firefox but switched to IE) and the upload went through. Don't know what wrong with my Firefox but I'm glad the file went through.

Hi, my friend CalicoCpt has been waiting for approval for about 12 days now. I'd appreciate it if someone could approve him, as he has a bunch of other material he'd like to submit.

Thanks.

He's got about 100 people in front of him waiting to be approved. Patience please. He can continue submitting 2 songs a day regardless of approval if he really wants to. Although I would advise against it because by the time he's approved they wont be on the recent submissions list anymore.

Is he incapable of asking here himself? Whether it should not, seeing a "can you approve my 'friend'" post always sends up a red flag.

Anyway, I listened to Calico's submissions; I would appreciate it if you could ask him to send me a PM detailing what software and VSTs/soundfonts he used.

Thanks.

I'm sure he's capable of asking himself, but he's only on NG because I told him about it. Anyway, will do.

Hi, I sent a PM to you and I saw that you responded to the post before me. I was wondering if I would be verified any time soon, seeing as you already listened to my music?

You've been banned (No, it wasn't me), likely due to the uncredited vocal samples in your one of your submissions.

Please keep in mind that the creative commons license means no copyrighted samples (Vocals or otherwise), and it also requires you credit your resources (Which you did not do).

The exact reason for the ban you'd have to get from the mod that banned you.
Regardless, you will need to create a new account if you wish to try submitting again. Please be sure to read and understand the rules before you submit.

The vocals I used came on the program. I'm not really sure if that makes it alright to use, i would have to assume so, though.

Depends on the program you used... However, most samples (Notably vocals) that come with DAWs are under copyright, which means they are not ok to use here.

Another mod and I conferred and we believed the vocals to be against the Audio Portal terms of service. If you can prove to us that the samples you used are under Creative Commons and are not copyrighted, then we may be able to work with you to resolve this issue.

However, the easiest course of action would simply be to remove the vocals, create a new account, and upload it again. (I listened to your tracks, and those vocals were really the only problem,)

Hi, so its been almost 3 weeks since i posted my track. i was wondering whats going on. i know for a fact there is nothing on it that would get me banned. It was a remix, but a remix of someone here on newgrounds, where there should be no limitation of usage of the track. everything else was handmade by myself, even down to the drum samples. So please can anyone give me some info on why it hasnt been approved yet? Maybe because of the SOPA thing, and the redesign coming up? not sure, any info would be great. Thanks.

Because we're busy people :P That's really it. There are a couple hundred submissions to go through, and audio mods all work on a volunteer basis.

Anyway, you've been approved now. Welcome to the Audio Portal!

hey!

i know all of you guys are awfully busy, so i'll make this quick...

i'm not actually a new user here, i used to post by the name of The-Hobo-Dude
http://the-hobo-dude.newgrounds.com/

because this is a new account, i still have to pass the approval,
but i was wondering if it was possible to somehow bypass the process

the song i submitted for approval (Op.7b Canon for Strings),
is actually a transcription of this song that i posted last spring...

  • Canon no.2 in B minor
    Canon no.2 in B minor by The-Hobo-Dude

    Click to listen.

    Score
    4.30 / 5.00
    Type
    Song
    Genre
    Classical
    Popularity
    215 Views

so yeah, if you can do anything, just let me know...
if not, i still understand you have better things to do...

peace

Sorry -- looks like you've been banned. The mod who did this will be able to tell you why, but it sounds like either suspected copyright infringement (use of the original recordings of the tracks) or a MIDI rip.

Your question isn't very clear... but either way, when you've been banned, you are no longer able to submit audio, when trying to do so, the site will tell you that you have been banned. The ban is account wide, and permanent, it is not per submission.

Are you sure that's the right username? According to the mod panel, TheCoastGuards, CoastGuards, and The CoastGuards are all nonexistent usernames.
