Opening the Audio panel
In the Studio, expand the Audio panel in the sidebar.Available tracks
Youka separates your uploaded audio into individual stems. Depending on the source, you may see:- Instrumental — The music with all vocals removed.
- Vocals — The original lead singer’s voice.
- Backing Vocals — Background harmonies, where available.
- Original — The unprocessed audio exactly as uploaded.
Adjusting volume
Each track has its own volume slider:- Drag right to increase the track’s volume.
- Drag left to decrease it.
- Click the speaker icon to mute a track completely without moving its slider.
Common configurations
- Standard karaoke
- Practice mode
- Sing-along
Use this configuration for karaoke events where singers perform without vocal support:
Backing vocals at a low level can add atmosphere without overshadowing the singer.
| Track | Level |
|---|---|
| Instrumental | 100% |
| Vocals | 0% (muted) |
| Backing Vocals | 0–50% (optional) |
Playback speed
Use the speed control to slow down or speed up playback:- Slower speeds help singers learn difficult or fast passages.
- The pitch is preserved when you change the speed, so the song does not sound artificially low or high.
The playback speed you set in the Studio affects the exported video. If you want a normal-speed export, return the slider to 1× before exporting.
Use cases
- Karaoke events — Set vocals to 0% and export with instrumental only.
- Learning a new song — Add some vocal at 30–50% and slow the speed to 0.75× or 0.8×.
- Accessible exports — Create one version with vocals and one without using the Versions feature.
Tips
- Test your mix by playing back the full song before exporting — subtle differences in volume become more noticeable on speakers.
- Keep vocals low but audible in practice mode; too loud and singers stop trying on their own.
- Use a separate version for each audio configuration so you can export different mixes from the same project.
