What to do if an ai song gets in (Nathan said no)

[minor coyote]

This time around, if any ai songs get through, you should go back and take another song from the contest and use that! (With permission of course)

this way no slots are taken up by ai slop

[dusk eagle]

yes

[minor coyote]

yes

[sand scaffold]

in all fairness if a song was able to be chosen it'd be included

i dont think there was a specific amount of slots that needed to be filled

[steep umbra]

still

[rich ledge]

Pretty sure they've gone through stricter protocols to make sure no ai song makes it through this time

[sand scaffold]

yeah that and also knowledge about how ai systems work

a lot of people used ai because they were told bandlab was fine

[wet sonnet]

hopefully if one gets removed the closest contender to the ai song that won gets replaced with it

but i doubt thatll happen

[minor coyote]

Thats the idea

[wet sonnet]

oh

didnt read

[lucid mantle]

sure

[void inlet]

@minor coyote There is no slot count - it's not like a song can "take away" another song's chance

[minor coyote]

Yeah, but than the community loses a song, thats one less song that map makers can use

[void inlet]

that's just how it goes

[sand scaffold]

again

[minor coyote]

Yeah

that makes sense

[sand scaffold]

its not like a song can be lost if there wasnt one taking its place

[minor coyote]

What to do if an ai song gets in (Nathan said no)

[sand scaffold]

if a song was good enough to be put into yeeps it'll be put into yeeps

[minor coyote]

yEAH

LIKE MY SONGS

[rich ledge]

Losing an ai song is a good thing, no?

[sand scaffold]

if a disc gets removed then that sucks but its not like they can replace it with a new song from the contest because they already added all the other songs that were good

[sand scaffold]

and theres still a TON of other songs to work with of varying varieties and themes

[minor coyote]

Yeah

[rich ledge]

Does bro have 3 versions

Of each track

[minor coyote]

3 different songs

Yeah tho lol

I went through a lot of variations

[minor coyote]

[mortal swallow]

if there aren't slots, why can someone only get one song in per contest?

[void inlet]

that was just a restriction last time to keep things under control

but the per person restriction doesn't have anything to do with total songs selected

[mortal swallow]

last time?

but if each person only gets the one song, then it kinda does have something to do with total songs selected
if 99 songs get submitted, but each person submitting puts in 3 songs, we can get 33 max songs
if 99 songs get submitted, but each person submits one song, than the max possible is 99

[void inlet]

well no

I didn't restrict songs to meet some cutoff quota I restricted songs last time so that the ratio didn't feel unreasonable

if I had, like, 30 songs and 3 of them were from the same person

it'd be kind of weird

this time I didn't feel the need to do that

I still accepted everything that I thought was within a reasonable level of quality relative to each other

or introduced a new genre

and I'm not done picking songs yet anyways

[mortal swallow]

some people would probably be upset if 3 people got more songs combined than 8 different people did
but idk, I think having more quality songs vs. arbitrarily limiting each person to getting one in is a weird choice
not sure if I put that right, but you see where I'm coming from

[upper bloom]

Alright

[mortal swallow]

oh really?

sweet

[void inlet]

well it doesn't matter this time

[mortal swallow]

I understand now
it makes more sense since you aren't done picking songs
I had a song I was really hoping to see, so I'm glad there's still a chance for it

[void inlet]

plus

[keen vine]

I've been waiting for 5 hours for this

[void inlet]

I am one person and if I'm going to spend time integrating all of these songs

actually I've given enough of a reason

what song are you waiting for

[keen vine]

Me?

[void arrow]

is the update on may 21st

[mortal swallow]

lemonswing

[naive kraken]

Sun by me and Photosynthesis by me too cuz meow

[void inlet]

I'm not announcing the winners so it's up to them whether they choose to say anything

[steep umbra]

Broken Drone trust

fr

[naive kraken]

We are allowed to say things??

I thought it was prohibited lol

[mortal swallow]

the creator of it told me their other song got in

I (hope) it isn't a secret

[void inlet]

oh lol

yeah I did consider lemonswing

[marsh idol]

lemonswing sounds like a good name

[void inlet]

ig I'll think about it more

[keen vine]

I think mine has a shot of getting in

[mortal swallow]

my eyes lit up after you said that icl

[keen smelt]

indeed

[minor coyote]

Why wont you have another trass member help? or maybe a community member wink wink nudge nudge

i would be willing to help lol

EMBED FALIURE

LAUGH AT THIS USER

[wet sonnet]

the embed loophole

[naive kraken]

Nathan have you listened to photosynthesis yet?

[upper bloom]

Same
But I don't care I'm happy he's taking his time

[sand scaffold]

honestly if someone made 8 unique high quality songs they deserve to be in

its not like it overshadows other people it's just obviously more songs

though i will say since the music store only selects like 10 discs they would be weighted more but that doesnt matter since most people just go to like freeblocks and inserts disc

i do think it'd be a good idea to overhaul how the music store works so that every song is available at once and has a fair shot

maybe like an actual record store

like imagine sifting through discs like this

idk just a thought

it makes sense for pets to cycle since theres like hundreds of them and it makes the pets you do choose more special since theyre only for a limited time

and also to encourage using the egg

but music it doesnt really

at least not with the amount of songs that'll be added to the game

because chances are even if there were no repeats it'd take months for a song to appear in the rotation

at least music collections exist but still

[wet sonnet]

people pass music around sometimes

like in the lab when no. wasnt in the shop they were passing it around

[sick plank]

yes! this way people who didn’t get in also have a chance to have their disc added!

[frozen anchor]

Yes

[plain anchor]

I wonder if any ambient songs for story driven cw’s were picked

[frozen phoenix]

Hehehe

Wait

WHAT

I'm back baby

[iron echo]

Yes

[frozen anchor]

What

[frozen phoenix]

MWAHAHAHA

Won't let me in the flesh chat, full

[finite ingot]

Skybasers (definitely not my song 💯💯)

[oblique lance]

I'm going to be so honest, I can't wait for all of them, but if it were one of my songs, then it would probably Kernel Shutdown, I think that one is my best one out of the three

[mighty swallow]

Yes

[topaz moss]

Pls tell me mine was considered:(

[mighty swallow]

Now keep the yes train going

[oblique lance]

-# for reference: #1494115155099914450 message

[frozen phoenix]

Arcave, radiated, and sunbright are all pretty peak songs. I totally didn't submit those.

[flint folio]

Arcave
I would've said Bright Night but that's already been accepted lol

[topaz moss]

How many more need to be pinged?

[minor coyote]

Guys i lost

[placid elm]

Why is there two of you

[minor coyote]

HEHEHEH

[minor coyote]

I just watched puffbros new video and he said too many songs where added so you stopped accepting them, is he just making that up? It makes it seem like there WAS a limited amount of slots

It is fine if you did, but if thats the case, i feel like this suggestion should be relevant

[void inlet]

well that was because he already had a song in the game

but that was per person, not across all the submissions

[minor coyote]

Oh, that clears that up. Btw, it said i technically submitted 5 times, but i accidentally submitted the wrong version of the songs a few times. When a person submits more than 3 do you just ignore them? I just want to make 100% sure

I submitted a total of 3 songs

It has just been bothering me in the back of my head since i submitted them, and if thats the reason i didnt get in it would be pretty dissapointing

[void inlet]

it didn't affect anything dw

[minor coyote]

Thats good lol

[minor coyote]

Also, (last thing i promise) I made 4 other songs since i submitted the first 3. I really want to improve and maybe start doing commissions, and I kinda wonder what you think about my other songs! The 3 I submitted have the file names arcave, the laborotory, and SunBright. The rest are new! If you want to check them out and maybe give some critiques about how I can improve in the future that would be amazing.

If you are busy or dont want to rn thats fine

#1494115155099914450 message

here they are

[mortal swallow]

nathan isn't supposed to give criticism on music that wasn't submitted unfortunately

[minor coyote]

why? I am not asking for them to be added, I am just asking if he wcould give me any advice on how to do better

[mortal swallow]

not sure tbf, but that's just what he said

[minor coyote]

dang

well thats too bad

[void inlet]

ya just out of fairness I'd rather not give people tips on stuff that they plan on submitting

[sick plank]

makes sense
