@ nlbsmglsk

Looks like you assigned @ LuZifeR  to the advanced class in rhythm. Last week it was determined that he would compete in the masterclass in the rhythm and bass paths and remain in the advanced class for the lead path. Second page of last week's topic if you want to check.

First out this week.

@ nlbsmglsk Thanks for organizing this!!

Maybe is just me but this week's Championship doesn't appear in the "Forums" home... I wonder why.

[aNDESmASAMUNE]

Starting a new week! This was 99% but wasn't actually a good performance at all...

Anyway, I submit it just for the sake of participating and having fun! 

My bass and strings don't sound good with this much detuning so I don't know if I will try it again...

It is fixed! Thanks. You guys are amazingly efficient!! I wish people in my organization were half as efficient as you are!

Bassy boi.


Shame it's missing all the palm mutes.
Only know about this song because of SHEBA's utau cover.

Sounds like guitar pro midi, why would you listen to this?

[Mikson]

Lead

An interesting band that I discovered through Spotify.

Not a very difficult chart, but not easy to get a high score here.

Not my style but it was a good run.

Delayed screenshot, will try again.

Yea it's a bit weird. I think their other stuff use real guitar so it might be one of their early ones, but it's hard to tell since they deleted everything off the internet.

Ahh, this one's much better. Are the vocals machine generated?

Yep, they're done using the Utau software. So it's basically splicing a bunch of pre-recorded vocal samples together, pitching them and adding vibrato.
The software is more open than vocaloid so the voicebanks are free and user generated but the software is quite a bit less capable.

Generally for vocaloid metal you make them scream by setting it to whisper and then running it through an amp sim, but Maiko's voicebank was recorded as screams already giving it quite a different sound.
