Rock Band 4 On Disc Vocal Paths (Old Thread)

Since Fever is a Rivals challenge song this week, I was practicing the ES on the second activation, and I can confirm that it's actually a ESF. I was able to fill the whole pie using the just the latter half of the phrase in practice mode.

Credit still goes to Vicromano20, but the notation should be modified.

Fever 2/sk1, 3/sk2-ESF, 2/ (Vicromano20)

EDIT: Got a couple messages regarding this update. I hit the ESF in a live run with a somewhat bad squeeze and posted 180,6xx as my score. I can confirm it is definitely possible in live runs outside of practice.

Open proposal - I would like to re-notate Suspicious Minds as the following:

Suspicious Minds: 4/sk2, 2/sk2-sk1-ESF, 2/sk6-sk1-ESF (Vicromano20)

The path is the same as 4/sk2, 2/sk3-ESF, 2/sk7-ESF, but the reason why I would like to notate the path as above is because it is more descriptive. 2/sk3-ESF is not incorrect, but it fails to describe that you have to activate the third window within a phrase to get the ESF. That is,

(skip an activation, phrase starts)
- "Well don't you know I'm"
(skip)
- "I'm caught in a trap"
(activate)
- "I can't walk out"

For me personally, when I see 2/sk3-ESF, when I get to the "Well don't you know I'm" subphrase, I think to myself, "I've only skipped two so far", then I sing it, then I realize, "oh shit, the activation window was in this phrase." Moreover, we see have seen DOD-sk#-ESF notated, so in my opinion, I think it's therefore a good idea to have a sk2-sk1-ESF.

Thoughts?

I can get down with that notation. Now to combine with what I mentioned in the other thread.
Let's say a situation exists where you fill up half the OD meter, then you skip an activation window, sing that phrase, then sing the very next phrase, and then the phrase after that contains 2 activation windows where you ESF the last one.

2/sk1-1p-ES2F

Reminds me of writing chemical formulas in high school.

I like the extra note 2/sk2-ES2F because yes that is confusing when you are in midst of singing and don't realize there are 2 phrases to skip in the ESF.

I also stared adding a SO notation at the end of the phrases where you need to vibrato out for extra points. Just something additional I know that a lot of people know about but isn't notated on the paths. I've found it helpful to know which phrases can garner additional points with Squeezing Out Vibrato.

It's probably time to update these paths:

Uptown Funk: 2/sk1-ESF, 2/ESF, 3/sk1-ESF, 4/BOD (Roman, Cdrock7) [Extremely difficult ESF]
Dream Genie 2/DOD-ESF, 3/DOD-sk2-ESF (Roman, Cdrock7) [Extremely difficult ESF]

Passage to Bangkok: 3/DOD-ESF, 2/sk3 (Roman/dbforthree)

Changing the last activation to 2/sk3 (formerly 2/) yielded higher points on every run I tried. Yields 133k+, which I had not hit with the previous path.

EDIT: Another change

Toys In The Attic: 2/, 3/sk1-FRS, 2/sk12-ESF (Roman/dbforthree)

Last activation is an ESF. Difficult, but possible. Yields 152,000 as optimal.
