How to change the automatic guide voice ​

Every processed song has a Guide track that announces sections such as intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and solo. You can change the language and voice used by that automatic guide — for example, choose Lily instead of another Portuguese voice.

This does not create or edit a custom guide. It changes the voice of the built-in announcements and countdowns for the song.

Change the voice ​

  1. Open the song in the player.
  2. Find the Guide track in the track list.
  3. In the upper-right corner of that track, click the globe and language label, such as PT-BR.
  4. The menu groups voices by language. Choose the language and voice you want, such as Lily.

The guide reloads with the selected voice. Use the play button next to a voice in the menu to hear a preview before choosing it.

What changes ​

  • The selected language and voice apply to this song's automatic section announcements and countdowns.
  • The language and voice also become your defaults for new songs you process.
  • Older songs can show a Legacy option. It keeps that song's original guide samples; choose one of the listed voices to switch the song to the newer voice set.

Automatic guide or custom guide? ​

Use the Guide track voice selector when you want to change the voice that says the standard section names and counts.

Use a custom guide when you want the voice to say your own words at a specific point in a song. Custom guides have their own voice list, so a voice available for automatic-guide playback may not be available when creating a new custom guide.
