A Guide to Fixing Lyrics: Tips and Tricks for Editing Lyrics Generated by AI

Hey there! In this guide, we will dive into the topic of lyrics fixing. We will share some super handy tips to help you edit and fix lyrics that have been generated by AI. Keep your focus because you don't want to miss these valuable insights.* Quick reminder: You can only fix lyrics when they have been generated by the AI, not when they come from external sources. Now, let's get straight to the point where the AI has finished generating the lyrics.

The Lyrics Board: Your Helpful Tool

A small but incredibly helpful feature is the lyrics board. This is where we store the original song lyrics. If the lyrics board is empty, it means the AI didn't find the lyrics, and you can copy and paste them from other sources. However, in our case, the AI has already found and stored the song lyrics, so we'll keep the lyrics board open throughout the fixing and editing process.*

Identifying and Removing Unnecessary Words

Alright, let's start from the beginning and identify the fixes that are needed. Sometimes, the AI may include unnecessary words in the lyrics. For example, it might include the word "you" in a place where it's not needed. To fix this, simply delete the unnecessary word.* The process is straightforward. Just click on the block that contains the unnecessary word, edit the text by removing it, and save the changes. It's as easy as that. By removing these unnecessary words, the lyrics become cleaner and more accurate.*

Merging Split Sentences

In some cases, it may seem like the AI has split a sentence between two blocks, making the lyrics harder to understand. To enhance the flow and timing of the song, it's best to merge these split sentences.* To do this, copy the original sentence and paste it into both the first and second blocks that are relevant to the timing of the sentence. This ensures that the sentence is displayed seamlessly, without any abrupt transitions between blocks. Let's take a look at an example.*

Keeping an Eye on the Next Block

When fixing the lyrics, it's crucial to keep an eye on the next block. This is important because the last word of one block may appear at the beginning of the next block. In this situation, we simply remove that word from the next block, as long as the rest of the sentence is correct.* For instance, if the word "lie" appears at the end of one block and also at the beginning of the next block, we only keep it in the appropriate position. Removing duplicated words ensures the lyrics flow smoothly and don't create any confusion for the singer or audience.*

Tips and Tricks for a Flawless Editing Process/h3> Now that we have covered the essential techniques, let's summarize the key tips for fixing lyrics: 1. Start with the lyrics board open: This will help you reference the original song lyrics while editing. 2. Identify and remove unnecessary words or errors: You want the lyrics to be clean and accurate, so eliminate any inconsistencies or unnecessary words. 3. Edit the text by clicking on a block: To make changes to the lyrics, click on the respective block, edit the text, and save the changes. It's a simple and effective process. 4. Merge split sentences for better display timing: If you notice split sentences, merge them to ensure a smoother transition and timing in the song. 5. Clean the text from special characters: Consider removing commas, dots, or any other special characters from the lyrics. Alternatively, add them if they are necessary for a better singing performance. Here's an extra tip: Before creating the video, sing along with the lyrics throughout the entire song. This will allow you to spot any difficulties or timing issues. If possible, have a friend sing the lyrics to get additional feedback on potential areas of improvement.*
