LRC Editor Tutorial: Creating Synced Lyrics from Scratch

Introduction

LRC Editor is a simple and easy-to-use online lyrics creation tool. This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through creating professional LRC synced lyrics.

Step 1: Upload Audio File

First, you need to upload the audio file for which you want to create lyrics. Our tool supports multiple formats:

MP3 - The most common audio format
WAV - Lossless audio format
FLAC - High-quality lossless compression
OGG - Open-source audio format
M4A - Apple audio format
AAC - Efficient compression format

The file size limit is 100MB, which is sufficient for most needs.

Step 2: Enter Lyrics Content

After uploading the audio, you need to prepare the lyrics text. There are two ways to do this:

Method 1: Paste Text

Simply paste the lyrics text into the text box, one line per lyric line. For example:

First line of lyrics
Second line of lyrics
Third line of lyrics

Method 2: Upload TXT File

If you already have a prepared TXT file, you can upload it directly.

Step 3: Play and Timestamp

This is the most critical step. Click the play button to start playing the audio. When the singer sings a particular line of lyrics, press the Enter key or click the "Timestamp" button.

Timestamping Tips:

Precise Timing: Timestamp the moment just before the lyrics begin
Use Shortcuts:
- Spacebar: Play/Pause
- Enter key: Timestamp
- ↑/↓ Arrows: Navigate between different lyric lines
Adjust Time: If the timestamp is inaccurate, you can delete it and re-timestamp
Reposition: Use the progress bar to jump to any position and re-timestamp

Example:

Suppose you're creating lyrics for this song:

[00:00.00] Intro...
[00:12.34] First line of lyrics
[00:18.56] Second line of lyrics

When the audio plays to 00:12.34 seconds, you press Enter, and the system automatically records this timestamp for "First line of lyrics".

Step 4: Export LRC File

After completing all timestamps, click the "Export LRC File" button. The system will automatically generate a standard LRC format file containing all lyrics and timestamps.

Example of generated LRC file:

[00:00.00]Intro...
[00:12.34]First line of lyrics
[00:18.56]Second line of lyrics
[00:25.78]Third line of lyrics

FAQ

Q: What if I made a timestamping error?

A: In the lyrics list, each timestamped line has a delete button next to it. Click it to remove that timestamp, then re-timestamp.

Q: How can I preview the effect?

A: After exporting the LRC file, you can use LRC-compatible players (such as NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, etc.) to open both the audio and LRC file to view the effect.

Q: Can I modify already timestamped times?

A: The current version supports deleting timestamps and re-timestamping. Future versions will support direct timestamp editing.

Advanced Tips

1. Use Headphones

Wearing headphones allows you to more accurately hear the start and end times of lyrics, improving timestamping precision.

2. Work in Segments

For long songs, you can work in segments. First create the first half, export and save it, then continue creating the second half.

3. Multiple Checks

After completing timestamps, replay the audio to verify that timestamps are accurate and make fine adjustments if necessary.
