How are we supposed to send them to you? I know in MP3 format, but how do we do that?
Also, I'm sick with strep haha. So I'll get some extra raspy sounds in there probably...
I have my recording ready.

I have my recording ready. I'm not sure how to convert it to MP3 format tbh, you could probably google that though. I found this site from somewhere else on pulse vocaroo.com/ Idk if it will work or not, but it's worth a try. There's an upload button on the site. Also, sorry about you being sick, hopefully you feel better soon!

I have it in MP3 format. I'm just not sure how to send it in a PM... I'm not super tech savvy. I'm putting it on youtube - can I send you the link?

Haha sweet. Thanks. Sorry for my limited knowledge! Somehow I'm great with garage band, yet can barely figure out my way around a lot of other tech stuff.
Oh, and thanks for the well wishes. I don't know why I picked a song with a big range when I'm sick haha

If you make a soundcloud account it takes all of ten seconds to upload the mp3 of your song... When you're finished in garageband, export it to iTunes. Then in soundcloud you just upload the song... It was my first time using it and it was really easy. There's even a soundcloud linking option offered on Pulse - the very last icon web you're making a reply (it's orange).

One problem I just encountered though (and this shouldn't be a problem if it's an original song), but copyrighted stuff gets blocked, I just found out this morning.

Are the judges going to eliminate people each week or will the "public" (aka Pulse members) vote?

Bit late on the Pulse Idol introductions...
Good Friday, everyone. My name is Stephen but I prefer the Steven variation as it reduces confusion as to how the name is pronounced. Hopefully, y'all enjoy my vocal and best of luck to my fellow contestants.

I posted the youtube link to my song this week on my Facebook, and my grandparents texted me and told me they loved it. Does that count as a vote for me? hahahah

For those that haven't submitted their song yet, you have a little less than 2 days to do it.

How is the public going to hear it? Are you going to post links to the 'performances'?

Okay. Then I'm guessing there will be a poll for who we thought was the best or worst? @icantthinkofaname how will the polls be set up? Everyone will be voting for their favorite performances of the Night. You may vote for yourself.
I could do voting for the worst, but I don't want to portray anyone in a negative way.

So the judges are ranking and the "viewers" only vote for who they thought was the best?

That way it's easier to weigh everything evenly... I'm just not sure how the math goes to make it 50/50 between judges and viewers... Would you add the points and multiply each by .50? ... Math isn't my thing so I really don't know. And I'm assuming viewer votes will be privately submitted?

Yes, and I think I'll make it where the number of points in total between all of the votes combined, will be the same as 5 of the judges scores combined.

Are there any mathematicians on Pulse who can confirm this will work, or critique the formula to make it accurate?

Whew!! This was the first time I used Garage Band today it took me a couple of hours to finish downloading its updates (??!!!), learn how to use it and then record few 1-takes of the song I had chosen. I was going to use the karaoke/instrumental as a backing track but the note was higher than I expected so I opted for a cappella. Hope I'm lucky enough :) It was fun though

I was going to use the karaoke/instrumental as a backing track but the note was higher than I expected so I opted for a cappella. Hope I'm lucky enough :) It was fun though You could download something like Audacity (it's free) and then take the pitch down. That's what I do a lot when it isn't in a good range for me. Also, if you just average everything with the math then add them together it should be fine. So, each judge ranks from like 1-10 (or however many there are) and then add those together and divide by the number of judges Then each person who votes ranks them, then you add all of those together and divide by the number of people who sent in votes. Then add those two numbers together. 50/50
