Singing Exploit?

[monstrado]

My girlfriend was having a hard time singing one of the songs, she wasn't reading the words fast enough or something.

She started going "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" in the right pitch and it said "AWESOME!!"

kinda funny, I don't expect Harmonix to fix this though, they would have to have some voice recognition which would prob lag the system badly.

I had heard there was voice recognition. I noticed that, really, no matter what I said, as long as I was on the right pitch, it gave me awesomes, too.

Did voice recognition not make the final production or what?

I think the difficulty level make recognising words more detailed...easy, barely, expert, pretty good.


I could be wrong, but thats how it felt to me last night.

What, you've never listened to Dylan?

Maybe the difficulty setting makes a difference? I'm at work so can't check, but perhaps if you tried to pull that on expert it would punish you. Just a theory.

She's not taking the game seriously, so i would ditch her and find some hot broad with a nice set of pipes..lol j/k

This appears to be the same technology they used for the Karaoke Revolution games with the exception of the handheld percussion instrument playing with the and the fact that there are some sections to songs which are *not* sung which in KR are completely optional but in Rock Band you're required you to speak the words but your pitch is not an issue for them.. so my guess is that's the "voice recognition" that was spoken about in interviews/previews/etc...

Pitch recognition is used for all the singing parts. Spoken parts (where the words show up but you don't see any tubes) use phoneme detection to make sure you are saying the right things. Both aren't turned on simultaneously as it is needlessly frustrating to have both on on a player. Also most people, in their heads, associate the pitch with the word they are singing and when they stray from the script generally have a pitch problem anyways. The miracles of science!
