Code of conduct (Community guidelines)
Audiotool is a creative, welcoming, supportive and knowledge sharing community. Our mission is to democratise music production providing a freely available music studio in your browser. We strive to be a community sharing the love for music. We respect diversity and other people's opinions and make everybody feel welcome and comfortable. This can only work if we all operate on a shared set of rules.
Rule #1
Personal attacks, harassing and making people uncomfortable are strictly forbidden. Audiotool is a community for people which every human being has the right to use free of harassment and bullying. Remember: we respect each other. Users promoting hate will be banned.
Rule #2
Discriminating against other users based on gender, political or religious beliefs, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, etc. is strictly forbidden. Users promoting hate will be banned.
Rule #3
Indoctrination of other users in terms of religion, beliefs and ideology - Audiotool is a place for creative people. You don't have to discuss your beliefs here, better go and make music.
Rule #4
Copyright infringement is not tolerated. Your content (samples, drafts, tracks, pictures) shall not violate the rights of any third party, including but not limited to: copyrights, trademark rights and/or any other intellectual property rights. This means: You have to own the rights to samples and any other material you upload to and use on Audiotool. Check terms for more info.
Audiotool is open to uploaded tracks, sounds, samples etc - wether they come from AI or not - as long as they don't infringe any copyright. AI may be used as long as the tools involved do not infringe on any copyright or other rights. Transparency is key—if AI tools were involved in your creative process, we recommend that you disclose and describe their use. Our community values skill, authenticity, learning, and inspiration.
Rule #5
Uploading or linking to any pornographic, racist or otherwise disturbing material is a no-go. This is supposed to be a safe place. Please keep it that way.
