It is the responsibility of the submitter(s) to ensure that the volume of the game output does not adversely affect the microphone input (for example, don't blast the TV sound to get noise into the microphone nor have the microphone too close to the speakers). It is the responsibility of the submitter(s) to ensure microphone feedback does not occur. The referee is at liberty to disqualify an attempt if the scoring appears to occur in spite of what appears to have been the recorded input.

For guitar / bass:
This MUST be played with a Guitar Controller. To ensure the Guitar Controller is being used, players will be required to cycle through the fret buttons at least ONCE at the start of each song. Meaning... click and release each fret button just to show that you are using a guitar controller.
