Exporting from duet

How to create a base for single-player version

Before you start

This lesson requires a songfile with two tracks ready. You can either prepare it yourself for practice or download the files from here:

Creating a single-player txt file

Rename txt file with duet version

Before we start, let's rename our file which contains two tracks by adding suffix to the txt name. Usually Artist - Title.txt filename is reserved for single-player version. Since all of our song versions will reuse the same mp3 file, it makes sense to place them all in the same directory, but to do so, we need different filenames for all versions.

Just rename the txt file in your operating system by adding [DUET] suffix:

After it's done, open the [DUET] file in Karedi.

Adding temporary third track

All of the changes from now on will be temporary. If you have any unsaved changes at this point, it will be a good idea to save them.

Let's add a new temporary track for singleplayer version and call it Singleplayer for clarity:

Copy all notes from first and second track onto the third one

Let's first copy all female notes. Click on the first track to select it, click on the main editor to make sure the focus is there and press ctrl + shift + a to select all notes.

Press ctrl + c to copy them. Press Tab twice to reactivate third track. Once it's active just press ctrl + v to paste the notes.

Do not click on the main editor after switching back to third track. By clicking you will move the time marker and the notes will be pasted in a different spot than they originally were on the first track.

Let's now do the same with male track.

Now we have both male and female parts on one track.

Export single-player track

Let's export the third track to a separate txt file so that we can comfortably work on it. Name the file David Amber - Second Time Around.txt as previously discussed.

You should now have 4 txt files:
