# Remix your song into synthwave with AI | Lyro Music > Remix your song into synthwave with Lyro’s Restyle tool: 1980s analog synths, gated drums and a pulsing bass. The original stays as it was. Source: https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/synthwave # Remix your song into synthwave To remix a song into synthwave, pick it in your Lyro library or upload your own file, open Restyle and describe the new sound in a few words, for example “Synthwave version: analog bass arpeggio, gated reverb snare, electronic toms, detuned saw pads, lead synth”. Lyro’s studio tools rebuild the whole track in that style and add it as a new version; the original stays as it was. A song made on Lyro keeps its own lyrics. For your own file, paste the lyrics, or the words are lost. It costs one credit per started minute, with a minimum of 2 credits.

If your song is far from the usual synthwave 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 Synthwave** Open Restyle and write the new style, for example: Synthwave version: analog bass arpeggio, gated reverb snare, electronic toms, detuned saw pads, lead synth. 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 Synthwave version: analog bass arpeggio, gated reverb snare, electronic toms, detuned saw pads, lead synth ## Tips for this genre Synthwave is recognised by a gated-reverb snare, a pulsing analog bass arpeggio in eighth or sixteenth notes, lush detuned saw pads and a soaring lead synth. Put those sounds in your description: - Request detuned saw pads and a soaring lead with vibrato, and add chorus effect and tape warmth to the mix. - Name the mood with an image, such as night drive, neon city or sunset coast, since the genre is visual. ### 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 synthwave 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 synthwave 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. If you want your own vocal over a synthwave track, use [a beat for your vocal](https://lyromusic.com/beat-for-vocals) instead. ### What should I write to get synthwave? Name the sounds: “Synthwave version: analog bass arpeggio, gated reverb snare, electronic toms, detuned saw pads, lead synth”. Ask for a gated reverb snare and electronic tom fills, the most recognisable drum sounds of the era. ### What does a remix cost? One credit per started minute of the song, with a minimum of 2 credits; a three-minute song costs 3 credits. The original stays in your library, and failed remixes are refunded automatically. ### What is close to synthwave? The neighbouring genres differ in clear ways: - Pop: the 1980s pop songs it borrows its vocal style from, with modern drums and a sung chorus at the centre - Trance: faster at 128 to 142 BPM, with the same arpeggios and saw leads pointed at the dance floor - Cinematic: shares the wide pads and the sense of a scene, without a steady beat ## Related **Other genres:** [Afro house](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/afro-house), [Amapiano](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/amapiano), [Deep house](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/deep-house), [Lo-fi](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/lo-fi), [Trap](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/trap), [Reggaeton](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/reggaeton), [Drum and bass](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/drum-and-bass), [Phonk](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/phonk), [Acoustic folk](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/acoustic-folk), [R&B](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/rnb), [UK garage](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/uk-garage) [Synthwave prompts: tempo, keys and eight prompts](https://lyromusic.com/prompts/synthwave) ## Hear it on your own track.
