Match up lyrics to your drums in audioCue

About This Video

This tutorial shows how to sync your lyrics with the drum sequencer timeline in AudioCue.

You’ll see how to use the visible time stamps in the drum timeline and apply them directly to your lyrics using the lyrics editor. The video demonstrates placing time stamps at section changes, adjusting spacing, and checking alignment by scrubbing and playing back sections of the song.

By the end, your lyrics scroll and highlight in time with the drum arrangement, landing exactly where they should during playback. The tutorial finishes by adding the completed song back into a playlist and playing it through in full.

This tutorial applies to AudioCue 3 (version 3.0.37 and above).
Recorded on macOS, but the same process applies on all supported devices.
