So I know a girl who wants attention so badly, she chose SFX and tried to be good at it (so she could be hired), she recently was hired for a server called Graal Playhouse (dafuq?) and she's the sfx admin. I asked her how she got so good at SFX and she said she gets sound files from the internet and fiddles around with them. Would that be cheating or is that SFX?  

I thought SFX was music/sounds YOU created and recorded. Although I have heard of people taking files that are allowed to be used by everyone and remixing/tweaking them. It really depends I guess. I'm not a sound effect expert, but I would assume that would be the case.  

Hmm.. Well, to me anyhow, it mostly depends what audio she's fiddling with. If it's allowed for commercial use, what she's doing isn't illegal. Although, if she's just changing instruments and adds a few notes, that's okay for practice but maybe not for admin, as it'd limit what you would be able to do for the server (since it depends what's available on the internet). If she's using copyrighted audio, then that's another issue entirely.  

It depends on what sound files she's taking. If it's copyrighted sound (like a retail song or a sound not found on a royalty-free sample site), then it's probably not something she should be doing.

You have me curious now, does iClassic even have an SFX admin?  

Yeah the SFX have been the same for as long as I can remember... Well besides the mount sounds  

Newbing it up now, but what is SFX  

Doesn't sound like cheating, more just like a inexperienced SFX admin.
+Can sounds like that have Copyright? Just curious.  

Just as long as she doesn't get hired for Delteria or Zone! :p  

SFX= Sound Effects  

make a pollllllllllll

I believe they can. Maybe if it's like a signature sound of an artist. I don't know specifics on that one.

I wish I was SFX for some server. I've applied for Zone, Stroseria, and Delteria, but Zone isn't accepting anymore SFX, Stroseria closed, and Alpho never got back two me since I sent him two songs for Delteria. iClassic should really have a sound update.  

Using free sounds as bases for editing and such is fine, some people cannot afford the equipment to get a high quality recording neccessary for some editing techniques that require sounds of such quality  

Wait, so I can apply for sfx and just send in files from the internet?
