What duet mode does
- Assigns individual lyric lines to specific singers
- Gives each singer their own colors, fonts, and effects
- Places singers in distinct screen areas (left/right or top/bottom)
- Handles overlapping sections where multiple singers perform at once
Open the Duet Editor
Open your project in the Studio
Navigate to online.youka.io and open the project you want to edit.
Assign singers to lines
For each line in the Duet Editor, choose which singer performs it:- Singer 1 — line belongs to the first singer
- Singer 2 — line belongs to the second singer
- Both — line is performed simultaneously by all assigned singers (choruses, harmonies)
Identify lines before assigning
Click the play button next to any line to hear that section of the song. This helps you confirm who is actually singing before you make an assignment.Assign all lines at once
Click the All button to assign every line to a single singer in one action. Use this to set a baseline, then go back and reassign individual lines that belong to the other singer.Number of singers
By default, duet mode provides two singers. To add more:Style each singer
Give each singer a distinct look so the audience can tell them apart at a glance.Handle overlapping sections
When two or more singers perform at the same time, you have two options. Configure this in the Layout panel:| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Show Both | Each singer’s line displays at their own screen position simultaneously |
| Merge to All | Overlapping lines use a combined “All Singers” style and appear in a single shared position |
Singer positions
In the Layout panel, choose how singers are positioned on screen:- Horizontal (side by side)
- Vertical (stacked)
Singer 1 appears on the left half of the screen. Singer 2 appears on the right half. Works well for wide-screen displays and when lines are short enough to fit side by side.
Example: classic duet setup
Set singer colors
In Text Style, set Singer 1’s active color to a blue tone and Singer 2’s active color to a pink tone.
Assign lines
In the Duet Editor, assign verse lines to their respective singers. Set all chorus lines to Both.
Changes save automatically. Your singer assignments are preserved even if you temporarily switch to a different layout type.
