Tips for Best Results
Choose Quality Sources
Official music videos and high-quality uploads produce better results than low-quality recordings.
Use Clear Recordings
Songs with clear, distinct vocals work best for AI separation. Live recordings with crowd noise may have reduced quality.
Provide Accurate Lyrics
While Youka can find lyrics automatically, pasting accurate lyrics ensures better synchronization.
Check the Preview
Always preview your karaoke before exporting. Use the sync editor to fix any timing issues.
