If your song is far from the usual amapiano tempo in the table, the remix can come out feeling half-time or rushed. ## How it goesThree steps - **Pick the song** Choose a track from your Lyro library, or upload your own file and confirm you have the rights to it. - **Describe Amapiano** Open Restyle and write the new style, for example: Amapiano version: log drum bass, shakers, rim clicks, soft kick, jazzy piano. For your own file, paste the lyrics. - **Set how far it goes, then listen** The “How far from the original” slider sets how much changes. The result is a new version beside the old one. ## Style words to pasteIn English, as the Style box reads them Amapiano version: log drum bass, shakers, rim clicks, soft kick, jazzy piano ## Tips for this genre Amapiano is recognised by log drum bass with wide slides, shuffling sixteenth-note shakers, airy jazzy piano or electric piano chords, and chanted vocal phrases. Put those sounds in your description: - Name the chords, since jazzy piano or Rhodes with seventh and ninth voicings gives the soulful side of the genre. - Keep the tempo between 110 and 115 BPM, because faster tempos turn it into afro house. ### Where the limits are - The voice in a remix is made again by the model, so it is not your exact voice. To keep your own vocal, use a beat for your vocal instead. - Without the lyrics, a remix of your own file loses the words; a Lyro song sends its own. - The remix keeps your song’s tempo; if amapiano usually runs much faster or slower, expect a half-time or double-time feel. - Remixing a song that is not yours needs the rights to it; Lyro asks you to confirm them for your own files. ## Questions ### Will the amapiano remix keep my lyrics? A song made on Lyro keeps its own lyrics automatically. For your own file, paste the lyrics into Restyle; without them the remix loses the words. ### Will it keep my voice? No. The remix is made again by the model, voice included, so it will not be your exact voice.
