Pick a second song. Generate a new blend.
Use Mashup when one track has the hook and another has the feel, and you want a new song that borrows from both. It does not stitch the two audio files together.
Mashup takes two songs and generates one new track.
Mashup is a Pro action. Open a completed track, choose Mashup, and add a second song from your library or by uploading audio. Generate stays off until that second song is there. Lyrics default to the first song. Edit them, set a style, then click Generate. The result is a new generation with both songs as input — not a cut-and-paste of the two files.
INPUTS — two source songs
The first song is the one whose menu you opened. The second comes from your library or an upload.
OUTPUT — one new song
RaoMusic generates a new track. It may lean on one song's lyrics and the other's feel.
Mashup two songs in six moves
These steps follow the real Create page, including Add another song to Mashup and Generate.
- 1
Open a completed song on Create
This becomes song A. Pending or failed songs cannot start a mashup. Uploads and generated songs both work as song A.
- 2
Open ⋯ and choose Mashup
Mashup is a Pro action. Without a subscription, RaoMusic opens the upgrade modal instead of the editor.
- 3
Click Add another song to Mashup
The picker is titled Choose the second song. Use From library to pick a completed track, or Upload audio for a local file. Generate stays off until a second song is there.
- 4
Edit lyrics and styles from song A
Custom mode prefills the first song's lyrics. There is no Mashup Lyrics button — pull the hook or chorus from song B by hand if you want both.
- 5
Click Generate
The submit button says Generate, not Mashup. Generate starts a new task. It uses the same credits as generating a new song on the selected model.
- 6
Listen for which song won
RaoMusic returns two candidate songs and both sources stay in your list. One input often leads the hook; the other shows up as texture or energy. Keep the candidate that sounds like a song, not a collision.
How to pick the two songs
Mashup is a collision, not a mix session. Give it two strong, different jobs — not two copies of the same idea.
Pair like this
- A hook-driven song plus a story or lyric song.
- Similar energy and tempo when you want a clean blend.
- One dense mix and one simpler mix, so something has room to lead.
- A finished favorite plus a take you almost deleted — the second can donate texture.
Watch out
- Two full lyric sheets pasted on top of each other.
- Two songs that already sound the same — there is nothing to blend.
- Expecting a timeline splice, beatmatch, or stem-aligned DJ mix.
- Uploading recordings you do not have rights to use.
What to type for the mashup
Lyrics start from song A. Styles steer which identity wins. There is no auto-blend button.
Do
- Keep song A's verses and one chorus, then lift only the best lines from song B.
- Leave Styles short — one genre, or rap vocals, rock instrumental.
- Try a first run close to song A, then a second run with a clearer style if you want song B to lead.
- After a good mashup, use Extend if the ending got cut short.
Avoid
- Waiting for a Mashup Lyrics or Audio Influence control — they are not in this UI.
- Changing lyrics, genre, and persona in one run.
- Using Mashup to fix one middle line of a single song — that job is Replace Section.
Easy to get wrong
Mashup is not a DJ splice. The two files are not laid on a timeline. You get a new generation that used both as input.
Generate will not start until a second song is added. Use Add another song to Mashup.
There is no Mashup Lyrics button and no Audio Influence slider. Lyrics start from song A; style is the Styles field.
Dumping both full lyric sheets into one box usually rushes the vocal. Keep the stronger verses and one chorus.
Wild genre collisions can be interesting or chaotic. If you want a clean blend, pick two songs with similar energy, then steer with Styles.
The second song can be an upload. It does not have to be an AI-generated track.
If the mashup drops the ending, keep the better take and use Extend — do not keep stacking mashups to recover length.
Mashup vs Cover
Mashup needs two inputs. Cover remakes one song's style around its melody.
| Question | Mashup | Cover |
|---|---|---|
| How many songs | Two — library or upload for the second | One |
| What it tries to keep | Material from both, in a new song | The core melody of one song |
| Lyrics | Default from song A; edit by hand | Default from the original; keep them first |
| Access | Pro | Pro |
| A local fix in one song | Wrong tool | Also wrong — use Extend or Replace |

Mashup FAQ

No. Lyrics default to song A. Edit them in Custom mode if you want lines from song B.
Generate uses the same credits as generating a new song on the selected model. There is no separate mashup fee.
No. Generate starts a new task. Both sources stay in your list.
Generate stays off until a second song is added. Click Add another song to Mashup, then choose From library or Upload audio. In Simple mode it also stays off if the description is empty and Instrumental is off.
Similar energy and key usually blend more cleanly. Different genres can work, but the result is more experimental. Steer with Styles if one identity should win.
Yes, in Custom mode with Rao v1.0 or Rao v1.5 and a saved persona. The persona steers style and vocal character on top of the two songs.
Swap which track is song A, shorten the lyrics to the strongest verses and one chorus, and put a clear genre in Styles. Then generate again.
