I was going to try and comment on everyone's for the registration round but for some of them I didn't know what to say and it was a lot to comment on all of 100 entries.

If you didn't get a comment but want feedback on why you got the score you did then send me a forum PM.

you've done an amazing job at judging and making people improve, its not just all praise with words connected together to show the judges uniqueness or booing or feeling ticked off at bad participants like i see in some tv programs to strive drama, but what u guys are doing, ive never thought it was possible
this is how constructive critiscm should be, and yeah quality over quantity and if ppl want feedback, thats nice just note somewhere in the doc to send them a PM. im really pumped for this; Good luck to everyone. i cant believe the quality in this. insane really.

Feedbacks on Duets

These are just things that I thought could be improved upon through observations. I'm not a music major so I won't be using official terminologies, take what I'm about to say with a pinch of salt

Duets are very different from solo, it's the chemistry between singers that can create works of bang. The most obvious advantage of a duet is that you can have 2 voices instead of 1! Think about these just to name a few:

"Sing-along"

This is gotta be the most common scenario in a karaoke box. 2 singers singing the same tune, at the same time, competing to see who's voice is louder after a beer (lol)

The downside is that it sounds very obvious if 1 singer is out of tune/tempo (even slightly) and quite frankly, it's boring! Try to minimize "sing-alongs" and try to mix in other techniques.

"Rally/Tag"

This is where each person takes turn to sing a section of the song (eg Nichijou) and should be relatively easy to master. Make sure each singer is on pitch and sing with clear voice (since no one can cover for you), this should take care of the bulk of the duet.

"Effects"

This ain't the digital sound effects that you're thinking about lol

I'm referring to when 1 person sings while the other makes random "sound" to decorate the section. Just make sure that the main singer's voice is clear and on pitch so that the "effects" doesn't kill it.

"Harmony"

This usually means 1 person singing the main chord while the other sings at a few keys lower. Yes, very common technique but very awkward when one jumps in to do it, try experimenting a little!

Harmonies are "big guns" that one can use to deliver heavy punches, use it for the climax! It'll run out of steam when overused.


^ Try mixing in those techniques in your next recording and see if it sounds more dynamic than usual. If you're looking for simple examples, check out COOL&CREATE's songs. I'll leave one example here, this has all the techniques we touched upon (and it's a nice song hue) (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/40212):

You can align the vocals to be farther up to match with the music by moving the audio track that is your vocals. Do you need help with how to do it?

Now you see why I did not want resubmission to become a thing.

I will try to get the entry judged as soon as possible. If it gathers enough points, it will qualify for stages, along with the rest of the 51 participants.
Once again, my sincerest apologies!

They have a couple pop-like songs, but I will leave it up to the user to make a wise decision on song choice.

I did hear your voice get left behind slightly on some places. But that didn't sound fast at all..

I checked a page about the song and it is labeled as Jpop but is also alternative rock. I think since it is classified as Jpop that it is okay.
