# Audio

> Pre-service music, beds under a prayer, backing tracks and lyric videos.

The **Audio** layer plays music under whatever is on the screens. It doesn't follow the running order: pre-service music starts before the service, and a bed under a prayer carries on while the slides change above it.

Open the **Audio** panel from the toolbar.

To capture: The Audio panel with a playlist open and a track playing.

## Playlists

Make audio playlists of tracks, and play one from the panel, from a slide (**Add Action › Play Audio Playlist**), or with Siri and Shortcuts. Tracks cross-fade into each other.

What a track does when it finishes is set in **Settings › Audio & Video › On Reaching the End**: **stop**, **play again**, or go on to the **next** in its list. Next is what pre-service music wants. A single track can be told otherwise from its own menu.

## The playing song

Open the playing song large to:

* **scrub** through it,
* **jump between its sections** — while it plays, clicking a section is a cue: the song finishes the section it's in and goes on from the one you clicked, the way a band follows a leader,
* name, split and join sections while it's stopped,
* play it in another **arrangement**: its sections in another order, dragged about, repeated or taken out, without touching the file.

To capture: A song open large, its sections along the waveform and an arrangement below.

## The audio meter

Turn on **Display Audio Meter on Preview** in **Settings › Audio & Video** for a stereo meter beside the preview, measuring everything the room hears: music, slide soundtracks and films, after each one's volume and mute. **Show Decibel Marks** adds a scale.

## Lyric videos

A presentation can play a track and put its slides up at moments in it. See [Slide actions › Lyric videos](https://docs.slipity.com/presenting/slide-actions.md#lyric-videos).
