New Instructions For Marking (General)
1. Vocal Column- mark ONLY the lead vocals by the number of the midi
channel.
Note: if you have 2 lead singers or more on different channels, mark
them both, for example:
1,2 in the “vocals” column, while the main lead is the first mark.
2. Backing vocals column- if you have backing vocals, mark them in
the "backing vocals" column.
Note: if you have more than 1 channel of backing vocals on different
channels mark them all, for example: 1,2,3,4.... in the "backing vocal"
column.
3. Merge column- in the merge column we refer ONLY to the lead vocal
channel.
we need you to mark it as 1 in the "merge" column" if the vocal
contains one of these options:
- The lead vocal channel contains a backing vocals in it.
- The lead vocal channel contains an instrument in it.
If the lead vocal contains THE LEAD ONLY we need you to mark 0 in
the merge column. This column should never be empty.
Important to notice- the vocal channel has to be a pure monophonic
channel, if it’s not you mark it as 1 in the "merge" column".
4. Midi Error column- if you find a broken midi file mark it in the "Midi
error" column as 1.
if the midi file is good- mark it as 0 in the "Midi error" column.
If you have an instrumental midi file mark “-” in the "Midi error"
column. This column should never be empty.
5. Multi column- means a duet song/multy singer. if you have a duet,
song mark it as 1 in the "multi" column.
if the song is not a duet mark it as 0 in the "multi" column. This
column should never be empty.
Examples:
* A-Star- is-Born_Shallow_4056442 The vocal column mark is 1,2.
