# Lyrics Are Out of Sync

> Fix synchronization issues with your karaoke lyrics

When lyrics don't match the music, you have three options: re-sync with AI, make small manual adjustments, or move whole lines to new positions.

## Re-sync with AI

Use this for major sync issues or when the lyrics themselves are wrong.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the lyrics editor">
    Go to **Edit > Edit Lyrics**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the lyrics are correct">
    Fix any typos or missing words before re-syncing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a sync model">
    Select a model like **Audioshake Alignment** from the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save** to kick off a new sync job.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Manual sync adjustments

Use this when timing is only slightly off.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manual Sync">
    Go to **Edit > Manual Sync**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the misaligned word or line">
    Click to highlight it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drag to fix">
    Drag the selection on the timeline, using the waveform as a guide.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Move lines to a new position

Use this when whole lines need to move elsewhere in the song.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the lines">
    In Manual Sync, select the lines you want to move.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cut">Press **Ctrl+X** (Windows/Linux) or **Cmd+X** (Mac).</Step>

  <Step title="Seek to the new position">
    Click the new position on the timeline, or use the arrow keys.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste">
    Press **Ctrl+V** or **Cmd+V** to paste at the playhead.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Nudge timing

To shift selected lines a few milliseconds earlier or later:

* Select the lines in Manual Sync
* Press **Shift + ←** to shift earlier
* Press **Shift + →** to shift later

## Prevention tips

* Use high-quality audio sources
* Provide accurate lyrics when importing
* Include every repeated chorus in the lyrics
* Try a different sync model if the default doesn't work well

## Still stuck?

If nothing resolves the drift:

* Try a different sync model in **Edit > Edit Lyrics**
* Confirm your lyrics match exactly what's being sung
* Use **Edit > Manual Sync** for precise, word-by-word adjustments
