export tracks from multi-track songfile.
This lesson requires a songfile with two tracks ready. You can either prepare it yourself for practice or download the files from here:
Our song now has two completely mapped tracks at this point - female and male one.
This is how it looks in Karedi:
In UltraStar distribution which supports duet songs:
If in your game the duet song is loaded correctly but the track names are not changed, it probably means that it uses deprecated multiplayer tag names. In such case in Karedi go to Preferences and enable the option to use DUETSINGERP tags in place of P tags and re-save the song.
If a single player wants to sing either part - they can just change the number of players to one and choose which part they want to sing, e.g. the male one:
But what if your Ultrastar distribution does not support duet songs?
Well, if your Ultrastar distribution does not support duet songs and you want to practice one part only - you can export a single track from Karedi to a separate file.
Go to menu File -> Export -> As singleplayer...
You will see a popup that the song has some unresolved problems. Ignore it for now and just click OK. We will deal with the problems in next lesson.
Choose which track you want to export
and choose were you want to save it. It's best to save it in the same directory as the multi-player version. Just add e.g. [FEMALE] to the filename:
David Amber - Second Time Around [FEMALE].txt
You should see a success message in the Log:
Repeat the steps for the male track. You should now have 3 files:
If you open them in Ultrastar, all 3 songs will look the same in the menu - the artist and title are the same afterall.
To differentiate them, you can open female txt file and add [FEMALE] suffix to e.g. the song's title:
Do the same for the male file.
In this lessons we have not learned any new shortcuts.
In the next lesson we will learn how to create a real single-player version of the song that will contain notes from both parts.
