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

Many thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out this weekend. Do you have much hands on with it? Curious how much fiddling is required when using it. Haven't had a chance to run OP's either but my dream is to find something that's as intuitive to use as the older games. Even modern karaoke software you'll get at karaoke bar usually requires me or my wife to operate it for the entire rest of the group with how complicated everything is haha.

Someone also shared https://github.com/rakuri255/UltraSinger

Which seems to output something that works with Ultrastar.

My sister loves karaoke as well and we grew up playing karaoke revolution and rock band. Shame they don't really make those anymore.

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
