Change the speed (tempo) or pitch (key) of your karaoke to suit different voices or preferences.

​
Opening Audio Settings

  1. Open your project in the Studio
  2. Click the Audio panel
  3. Find the Speed and Pitch controls

​
Changing Speed

The speed control adjusts how fast the song plays:
  • 1.0x — Normal speed
  • 0.75x — Slower (easier for beginners)
  • 1.25x — Faster
Use cases:
  • Slow down for learning lyrics
  • Speed up for a faster version
  • Match a singer’s preference

​
Changing Pitch

The pitch control raises or lowers the key:
  • 0 — Original key
  • +1, +2 — Higher key
  • -1, -2 — Lower key
Use cases:
  • Raise pitch for higher voices
  • Lower pitch for deeper voices
  • Match a singer’s comfortable range

​
Preview vs Export

During Preview:
  • Speed changes apply immediately
  • Pitch changes are not audible in the editor preview. The preview keeps the original key.
After Export:
  • Pitch changes are applied to the exported video
  • Speed changes affect the exported video
  • Export the video, then play the saved file to hear and confirm the selected pitch.
This also applies to the current Youka Desktop editor. Set Audio → Pitch to a value other than 0, then export the existing project. You do not need to recreate the project to change its key.

​
Reset to Default

Click the reset button next to Speed or Pitch to return to original values:
  • Speed: 1.0x
  • Pitch: 0

​
Tips

  • Small pitch changes (±1-2) sound most natural
  • Large pitch changes may affect audio quality
  • Speed changes maintain pitch (tempo only)
  • Combine speed and pitch for custom arrangements
