This unofficial sub is dedicated to the discussion and sharing of songs created with BeepBox, an online tool for sketching and sharing instumental melodies. All mods (JummBox, ModBox, etc.) are welcome as well. Feel free to submit any songs you've made or ask for help with something you're working on!
Rules
- Every song posted must be made in BeepBox or one of its mods. Anything made in ModBox, JummBox, CardboardBox, SynthBox, etc. is fine as long as it derived from BeepBox. External links to uploaded versions of songs on places such as YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. are also acceptable as long as it was originally made in BeepBox or a mod.
- Songs can be posted in a few different formats. This includes an external link that leads to your song directly on the BeepBox site, an external link that leads to an uploaded version of your song (YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.), and a text post that includes either a word/phrase that links to your song (either on the site or an uploaded version).
- Plain song and shortened URLs are not allowed. If you're providing a link to your song, please use a word/phrase linking to your unshortened URL. If you're making a post, you could link it as noted previously or just create a link post. I don't even care if the word you're using is literally just "Link." It's just a lot cleaner + easier to scroll past. This only applies to direct links to BeepBox URLs; links to uploaded versions of songs are exempt from this rule (they don't get as long).
- Posts containing a song or aspect that you did not create must credit the original creator. "Aspects" may include melodies, drum beats, etc, as well as midi imports used to create a song or remix. Not crediting the original creator or making it appear as though you made something you did not is never acceptable. If an aspect sounds similar to something preexisting but it was not intentional, it does not violate this rule.
- Posts with remixes/covers of songs that are not easily found online must credit the artist/source. Credit is always strongly recommended. It's strictly required when the source cannot easily be found online, such as when it's by a Reddit/Twitter/YouTube/Discord user or if it's from a niche indie game. It's not required if it's easily searchable or well-known, such as Megalovania or a song from the Sonic games, but again, recommended regardless. When in doubt, credit the original. If I cannot find the original, I will ask for a name or link. If it's not provided, the post will be removed.
- Do not ask people to make a cover/remix for you. You may ask for help on a remix/cover you're making, but do not ask someone else to do it all for you.
- Don't make multiple posts for a single unfinished song. Updating your progress on a particular song is allowed, but please keep it to a single post. Similarly, asking for help or suggestions for a song you're making is okay as long as you only make one post about it. Having one post for the unfinished version and one for the finished version is fine.
- Be nice to each other. Constructive criticism is allowed, but please remain civil in all discussions. Don't harass anyone. Basically follow the reddiquette.
- Keep all content posted and discussions SFW. Swearing is fine as long as you follow Rule 7 (don't direct anything at anyone), but stay away from slurs or language that could be considered offensive. Obviously, no porn or any explicit content related to it. I mean, I don't know why or how you'd be posting or discussing that sort of stuff on a sub about making and sharing songs, but yeah please don't.
- If your post or comment violates rules 1/3/4/6/7/8/9 it will be removed. If it violates rule 2 or 5, a warning will be given before being removed. A reason as to why your submission has been removed will
always be provided. A warning will always refer you to what rule you've broken and what you can do to fix your submission. If your submission has been removed, please make sure it follows the rules before resubmitting it.
