Positioning Songs
The recording deck shows three horizontal tracks stacked vertically: Song A (outgoing) on top, your voicetrack in the middle, and Song B (incoming) on the bottom. By dragging the song waveforms, you control exactly how the transition sounds.
Dragging Waveforms
Click and drag on the Song A or Song B waveform bar to slide it left or right. The waveform moves with your mouse — what you see is what you get.
- Dragging Song A to the left moves the outgoing song earlier in the timeline, creating more space after it ends.
- Dragging Song B to the right pushes the incoming song later, creating more space before it begins.
- Pulling them apart creates a gap — this is where you'll be heard "in the clear" with no music underneath.
- Pushing them together (or overlapping them) creates a crossfade — your voice bridges the two songs as one fades out and the other fades in.
Zooming
Use the scroll wheel (or trackpad scroll gesture) over any of the three track bars to zoom in or out. Zooming adjusts the time scale — zoom in to see fine detail in the waveform, zoom out to see the full picture.
- Scroll up — zoom in (waveforms get wider, more detail)
- Scroll down — zoom out (waveforms get narrower, see more of the timeline)
Both clips expand or contract from their current position. The gap or overlap between them stays proportional.
What the Waveforms Tell You
- Song A (blue, top bar) — the full excerpt of the outgoing song. The tail (ending) is the part that matters for voicetracking.
- Song B (blue, bottom bar) — the full excerpt of the incoming song. The intro is the part that matters. A dark vertical marker shows the post — the point where singing begins.
- Voicetrack (purple, middle bar) — appears after you record. Shows the shape of your voice. Its position on the timeline matches exactly where your voice sits relative to the two songs.
The Playhead
The violet vertical line that spans all three bars is the playhead. It shows where playback will start, and it tracks the current position during playback and recording.
- Click anywhere on any of the three bars to position the playhead.
- Press Space to start playback from the playhead position.
- During recording, the playhead moves in real time, tracking Song A, the gap, and Song B as they play.
The Ramp Marker
The dark vertical line on the Song B bar marks the post — the point in Song B where the vocal or melody begins. A countdown timer appears in the Song B bar when the post is approaching, so you know exactly how much time you have to finish talking before the music's vocal kicks in.
💡
A good voicetrack ends right at or just before the post. Use the countdown timer as your cue to wrap up — when it turns violet and reaches zero, the singing is starting.
