Use Chord Track in Youka Online to study chord progressions while the song plays.

​
What You Can Do

With Chord Track, you can:
  • Generate synced chords from your song
  • View chords in Inline or Grid mode
  • Switch notation style (Pop, Jazz, Nashville, Maj/Min)
  • Adjust Transpose and Capo for easier practice

​
Open Chord Track

  1. Open your project in the Studio
  2. Click the Layout panel
  3. Set Layout Type to Chords

​
Generate Chords

  1. In the Chord Track card, click Generate Chords
  2. Wait for processing to finish
  3. Confirm the detected song key shown in the panel
Generation time depends on song length and queue load.

​
Configure Chord Display

After generation, tune the view for your practice style.

​
Display Mode

  • Inline — Chords appear above lyrics timing
  • Grid — Chords appear in a dedicated grid for easier scanning

​
Notation

Choose the chord naming style you prefer:
  • Pop (Complex / Simple / Basic)
  • Jazz (Complex / Simple / Basic)
  • Nashville (Complex / Simple / Basic)
  • Maj/Min

​
Transpose and Capo

  • Transpose shifts chord shapes up or down semitones
  • Capo applies capo position for guitar-oriented practice
Use both controls to find the easiest playable version of a song.

​
Suggested Practice Routine

  1. Run through the full song once to identify hard sections
  2. Repeat only those sections with slower playback
  3. Try 2-3 transpose values and pick your best key
  4. Rehearse from start to finish without stopping
This keeps sessions focused and fun while improving retention.

​
Tips

  • Start with a simpler notation variant if chords feel too dense
  • Use Grid mode for harmonic analysis and chart-style practice
  • Use Inline mode when you want chord + lyric phrasing together
  • Revisit generated chords after changing arrangement settings
