Vocals Competition?

[vedicardi]

the only way you could really judge it accurately is by just having the midi play along side the song and judge how accurately the midi notes were placed.

I like the idea, in the sense that it might help popularize vocal charting, but whoever said judging it wouldn't be fun is right... i wouldn't want to help judge it, hehe.

I'd enter a chart if somebody put one on.

I could see scoring categories being something along the lines of:
-song difficulty : overall song difficulty, including scoring for number of syllables, number of pitches used, and simple judgment call points
-sync : same thing it's always meant
-pitch : accuracy of pitch
-lyrics : accuracy of lyrics (typo-s, syllable splits, etc)
?other instruments?

I'd contribute

Wasn't there a vocal competition a couple months ago? That had enough entries to be worth it. I say go ahead and make the thread

What format is the lyric file?

Doesn't sound familiar to me. If there was a competition, it probably would generate enough interest for some folks to dabble in it.

I'll just post it in the thread with your Converter.

Or just let it play in practice mode(less steps?), you could turn Jurgen on if not hitting any notes bothers you though.

That's not a reliable way to judge the vocal pitches, unless the devs can make it so that Jurgen will output MIDI notes to "sing" vocal tracks. That would actually be kind of funny.

Hehe, i want to hear that, preferably in "Do Rei Mi Fa So La Ti Do" rather than beeps.

yeah I imagine judging a vocal contest would be pretty dumb actually. It's not absolutely essential that it be completely synced, and as long as you don't screw up the pitches or the lyrics there's very little that can go wrong

It would be neat if there was more recognition for vocals with lyrics though

[raynebc]

And one of the singing AI's can be "drunk karaoke", where Jurgen will intentionally sing a large amount of the song off pitch. It would be a good AI for beginning singing players to play against.
