Introduction


Dear Rasikas,

We are ready with another episode of Special Quiz, 'The Vocal Instrumental Mapping'.  Are you all set? :)

Well, this is a simple quiz, but a format we have not tried before.  Before we get to the rules of the game, our sincere thanks to our friend and collaborator, Vijay Kannan for providing the instrumental clips that made this quiz possible!

Rules of the game

1.  As you might have already guessed, this quiz is all about finding the correct instrumental match for the vocals.   Quite straight forward, right?

2.  You have got two pools of Vocal and two pools of Instrumental clips.

3.  For the clips in Pool A Vocals, you will find a suitable match in Pool A Instrumentals and similarly for Pool B Vocals, the match would be available in Pool B Instrumentals.  The vocals clips have been named as AV and BV for Pool A and B respectively and similarly the instrumental clips have been named as AI and BI for Pool A and B respectively.

The idea of two pools is basically to avoid the fatigue of having to replay the clips many number times for finding the match.  We thought the process would be much simpler if questions are split into smaller pools rather than one big pool.

4.  One last thing - watch out for any googlies....that's all we can say ;)

5.  Your answers can be in the simple format of providing the matching clip numbers.  For example, 

For Pool A : AV1 - AI5, AV2 - AV1 and so on......

For Pool B : BV1 - BI2, BV2 - BI4 and so on......

(These are not the correct matches.....providing just to give you an idea :)

All the best and enjoy solving the quiz!
