My wife is a huge karaoke fan. I'm especially interested in the pitch scoring since we usually play the karaoke games on older consoles for that exact feature. Nobody really makes games like that anymore without a subscription (and most of these good modern karaoke platforms are exclusive to east asia anyways). If this works well this could make for some really fun social events, looking forward to trying this.
I don’t want to take away from OPs project (which seems really nice) but have you tried Ultrastar Deluxe ( https://usdx.eu/ ) in combination with USDB ( https://usdb.animux.de/ )?
There’s also a program for automatically downloading the songs: https://github.com/bohning/usdb_syncer
What would you consider the best "Singstar-like" alternative atm?
please try it out and share your feedback afterwards!
both transcript/alignment might not work perfectly, but it really depends on the song
