Wait for processing to complete

After you click Create Karaoke, Youka:
  1. Uploads your file
  2. Separates the vocals from the instrumental track
  3. Syncs the lyrics word-by-word to the music
  4. Generates your karaoke project
Processing typically takes 2–3 minutes. You’ll be redirected to your project page where you can track progress in real time.
Use a high-quality audio file with clear vocals for the best vocal separation and lyric sync results.
