SORRY. I made a few mistakes and re-submitted twice after my first submission. Is there a way to remove my previous 2 submissions and just keep the most recent one?

It is a cover afterall, you are free to do so.Karma wrote: 1e2c4q
Just to clarify, are we allowed to give our own rendition of the song? As in, put our own twist on it as a kind of cover.
Submit our own interpretation and presentation of the song

Oh man, it sucks because my rhythm problem is too obvious with the instrumental (to where I felt it would distract the listener from enjoying the song) so I actually resubmitted trying to put the acapella as the main submission, but then idk what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if I should've included the non-acapella one too and I ended up making a playlist?Flanster wrote: 2k4e1s

But anyways, I'd rather just have the acapella cover as my main submission if it's not too much of a hassle... (unless I have no chance already
)Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Am i supposed to say here about the echo mic and all that?
Cause my mic isn't echo but stops catching voice if I move only a bit(and i use that so i hide the breath xD) , I noticed that some endings look a bit like they are cut. Maybe it's just me being paranoid not to get disqualified cause of mic ;_; . Let me know if that is a problem and I will record again without moving.

If it's like last year, you sort of just have to check the thread/google doc regularly if you want to know if you to the next roundStaticImages wrote: 6s5q38
just to get this clear, if we do make it to the first stage or any stage for that matter, do we just get notified to make the recording within the week?
Theres no way of notifying everyone unless sending a crapton of forum PMs which will take a while. Either check this thread regularly and/or follow our twitter.tHampton wrote: 4h501g

You can't really do something against THAT kind of background noise. Except for recording in a quiet environment to begin with.
The thing in the rules specifically refers to the random noise that most microphones will record along with your voice due to the natural fault of the recording technology.

Well Even if I make through Stage 1, I won't submit for Stage 2 (or at least it'll be quite bad), as I can't sing Pop at all >.>Flanster wrote: 2k4e1s

Submission posted, the metal and the memes is here \m/
By the way, Flan, can I still send you my entry for Stage 1 in case I'm selected, as I'm in the end solo, and i'll be absent for stage 1 and 2 ?
Starting to evaluate the entries, yes it will be visible during all this.
To whoever was DQ'd - no second chance. If you believe this is incorrect me with valid reasoning.
And as for those who have their entry under question (in yellow), either me about it or I will do so.

Cuts are like, when you are singing a song and you kinda screw up a sentence mid-way, so you decide to edit the messed up part out and sing from there again and edit the new sung sentence in using software.NekoVirus138 wrote: r524f
um actually , when i saw "edited cuts" are disqualified
i am actually kinda ...lost- what does that meant?
edited cuts i mean
Or simply you want to perfect the song and you just make a cut for every sentence of the song.

If you mess up, you can always just restart recording. Cuz You still have 10080 minutes left.
maybe submitting on second cause they don't want to show their voice?Flanster wrote: 2k4e1s
We seem to have a couple of entries from s ed 2-3 weeks ago with no play data, I'm not considering on letting them take part for obvious reasons.
EDIT: I'll instate an activity rule next year
Checking profiles along with entries provided.
if so then what's even the point in entering? (not to mention would be multiacc)
Although I didn't get DQ'd, I really don't understand why cutting is against the rules. Anyone who is decent at mixing can do proper cuts that sound continuous. Also I don't consider it even against the original rules?
Also
I just think these DQs are silly, and the rules are not very clear at all.
vocal layering/harmonies/reverbs/autotune/effects/other mixing fx are not allowedNot sure if cutting was supposed to fit under here, but I don't consider it mixing fx.
Also
Submissions can be mixed down if an instrumental exists.My submission doesn't contain an instrumental mixed in. Nor do some others that have been accepted. But either way it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules because it doesn't specify that it isn't allowed.

it's not considered breaking the rules if you don't have an instrumental to back up your vocals with, it's not mandatoryHoboEater wrote: 3f5z1m

Although I tend to agree with you (Even if I did my entry in one shot), I think the goal is not to "produce" a cover, but it's to represent an "audition" for an idol casting, so you can have as much training as you want within an given time, but while you're "on scene" you can't go like "I want to remake this part only". Just my thoughts about this rule. But yeah, if it was clear, it would be better.HoboEater wrote: 3f5z1m

Also Flan, if there's no instrumental version, can we just record ourselves over the original audio while being careful at being (way) louder than the original vocals, instead of giving the raw recording?
Wait so if an instrumental exists I have to use it? The way you phrased it is kinda confusing. The point is that the guideline is useless because I consider it more of a suggestion, not a rule. I feel like it implies that you can't mix it if an instrumental doesn't exist, but it doesn't specify that.
Instrumental existing -> Choose between mixing or not, both are allowedHoboEater wrote: 3f5z1m

I kinda agree with what you're trying to say. But like I said, its SUPER EASY to properly cut it so it sounds continuous. There's no reason to enforce that rule when literally anyone can cut with no one realizing. And to prove this, I actually mixed someone's vocals that got a . Her voice was off sync (because it was cut) so I cut it apart and synced it with the bgm.[Hiiro Sakaki] wrote: 1zsy

You don't have to use an instrumental. But you can use one if you want.
Cutting your entry from multiple recordings is not allowed because it affects the performance. If you can't do it well in one take you're effectively gaining a positive effect from mixing your takes into one file and that's just the same as any other kind of mixing.
Hiiro Sakaki also gave some good points.
The question was already asked before and got a clear answer.
/edit: If it features the original singer then HOW is it an instrumental? Instrumental = instruments and no voice. wiki-link

It's so easy that Judges spotted people cutting :^) Irony aside, well, good for you if you can cut clean enough to be continuous, but I still see it as a live audition, so I don't cut (Also I don't know how to properly xD)HoboEater wrote: 3f5z1m

But its not stated in the rules? That's a huge problem if people are being DQ'd for breaking rules that aren't stated in the OP. Cutting is not a mixing effect imo. Its just attaching audio clips together.Endaris wrote: 6j5f7

Yes. I won't say who, but I have more than enough evidence that its cut since I did it myself. The point is that I think cutting is a stupid rule and can't be enforced unless it super obvious.Aomi wrote: 2q6w66

Audacity provides functions that are called "Vocal Remover" or "Vocal Reduction and Isolation"
No clue how well it works but I guess you could try to get a pseudo-instrumental with those.
Also I think the most important part is that your voice is the clearly dominant part of the entry even if the background may have vocals too.

Well didn't know that thanks a lot! And yeah, of course, I will be careful of putting myself way louder than the left vocals.Endaris wrote: 6j5f7

Thanks for the answer Endaris!
No its literally impossible to remove vocals from a song unless you have the original files with the tracks separated. When its compressed to an mp3, the tracks cannot be separated.Endaris wrote: 6j5f7

That's the whole point of audacity filtering vocals' frequencies so it makes two different tracks?
The definition of mixing is attaching tracks together. Like in the guidelines state, you can mix your vocals and the instrumentals. The rules state that mixing FX are not allowed. Let me take back my previous statement. CUTTING IS NOT A MIXING EFFECT.Endaris wrote: 6j5f7

It's opinionated.
It creates a result that you couldn't achieve without using audio-editing. It can be considered mixing.
Yes it can find certain frequencies the vocals are using but it destroys the quality of the track.[Hiiro Sakaki] wrote: 1zsy

So I fought back a little on the key change debate because that's editing the instrumental, not the vocal. But putting together different pieces of a vocal is essentially editing your performance and not giving a true representation (the term for this is "comping," by the way, which is a step people take when mixing a song).
You have the opportunity to do as many takes as you want in this competition, just pick the best one of those. If you can't give a good performance in a single take with a whole month to prepare and re-record, honestly you probably don't deserve to move on anyway. *Prepares for backlash*

yes it's still going. they're DQing the entries that broke the rules (e.g. no vocal cuts, etc.)Emma55525 wrote: z5w3

was about to submit my entry but it has vocal cuts so i'm gonna redo it
