Another thing we have to consider: What program are we going to use, to record?

basic ones like window recorder will work... a little more advance would be adobe audition, or cakewalk, and a couple others... i usually play around with adobe audition since that was the 1st one i use and i'm familar with the interface, it's a real easy interface unlike the other stuff.

[warlock110]

maybe if i use mp3 recorded to record voice...

but i wonder..would a bad recorder quality affect the fairness of the competition?


Does it have to be a competition? it can't be where we contribute or something?

it deffinitely would, a bad singer can still sound pretty good with a pro recording session... but it's all fun and game... i think it'll be fun reguardless... i will say this though, girl without background music will tend to sound a bit better than guys (cute wise)... so guys, if you gonna do it without background music u better be real good to beat these girls

You won't think that after you hear my horrible singing.

i dunno.. nowadays, it's seldom that I listen to pop, but all my fav singers very hard to sing :P so I'm looking for some easy bubblegum pop to sing. haha

start >>> allprogram >> accesories >>> entertainment >>>> voice recorder

cake walk is out of my range, i've heard of it, never tried it so i do not know.

really, there isn't much difference in these software... they both record from "mic in" or "line in" from your sound card, the only difference is that in those slighly more complicated software you can do multi track recording... which saves alot of time if you're not familiar with the song (they also have digital effects and stuff like that)... i'm not really good with them, i just know the basics because i've been messing around with computer for a while, i pretty much know the basic of most things on a computer.

it's prejudice on my part, i'm a guy, so i tend to like hearing girl sings without music more than some random guy singing

[0-0-0]

you're entering right?


I want to set the deadline 2 weeks from now, 16th April. Hopefully that's enough time for people to record.

i don't think there's enough people to have 4 categories, but 2 categories, acapella and background would be ok i think.


@girlikeme: professional training! you must be amazing. i sing in the shower like the majority.

0-0-0, since we will be sending all the voices to you, does that mean only you alone would know who each person is?

I hope you can extend the deadline to one month. Or perhaps, after April 16, if you have a fair amount, and there are still some people who really want to join and participate, then extend the deadline.

Is there anyway we can do this, that only the people who join in, gets to hear everyone else's voice?

BTW, dumb question, but your new avatar isn't Sun Fei Fei right?

yes, i believe this is the easiest way. i will not identify members.

If there are people who wish to enter and cannot make the deadline, if you let me know, i will try and extend, but personally, i think 2 weeks should be enough to record.

i suppose i can put a password on the downloaded files which only particular members have access to.

Everyone gets to hear everyone's voice. We just won't know who the voices belong to.

haha, i just recorded my voice. gosh, i didn't realise my voice was so squeaky

[kidd]

16 April. Good. Still have a lot of time. Not feeling very well today. Hopes I get better tomorrow.

[kidd]

haha, i just recorded my voice. gosh, i didn't realise my voice was so squeaky

Maybe it's a common effect when u record use a PC recording program and mike. When I did the voiceover, I tried to make my voice as low as possible (so that I sound more adult) but I still sounds like a kid.

[LuvJoJo]

This is cool! If we want to be a voter, where do we vote?

[Felix]

Is there any way, we can do one language only. I do realize this is hard though. Even if some of us here speak Chinese, it might be different dialect. So are we going to judge mostly on tone of voice? And even though all of us know English here, I am thinking some might not be fluent in speaking it, or not interested in English songs.
