In this lesson, you will learn how to create a Voiceover project and become familiar with the layout of the Voiceover workspace. You will see how to start a new project with one click and understand the purpose of each section on the screen, including where to write or paste your script and where to record or upload your voice.

The lesson also introduces the main areas of the Voiceover interface: the Script panel for narration text, the recording and upload section for capturing audio, the Timeline where your voice clips appear and are arranged, and the Control Panel for playback, editing, and monitoring levels.

In this lesson, you will learn how to record your voice in Palette and prepare it for use in a guided session. You will see how to organize your script for easier narration, add personal notes such as pause reminders, and format the text to improve readability while recording.

The lesson also explains how to connect and select your microphone, enable microphone access in the browser, monitor audio levels, and adjust gain for optimal recording quality. You will learn best practices for microphone placement, how Palette automatically removes background noise and balances audio after recording, and how to review your recording before using it in future sessions.

In this lesson, you will learn how to navigate and control your Voiceover project using the timeline and playback tools. You will understand how audio clips appear on the timeline, how they can be moved and duplicated, and how multiple clips can be arranged within a project. The lesson introduces the playhead and explains how it determines where playback begins, allowing you to start listening from any point in the recording.

You will also learn how to use the control panel to play, pause, and stop playback, move the playhead to exact time positions, and zoom in for more precise editing without changing audio duration. In addition, you will see how panning allows you to move across the timeline when zoomed in.

In this lesson, you will learn how to perform basic editing to refine your voice recording and prepare it for use in a guided session. You will see how to remove unwanted silence at the beginning of a clip using trimming, how to split a recording to remove a section that needs improvement, and how to re-record a portion of audio to replace it with a better take.

The lesson also demonstrates how to align clips seamlessly on the timeline, apply fade-ins to create smoother transitions, and duplicate clips when needed. By the end of the lesson, you will understand how to clean up and polish your voiceover so it is ready to be used in a guided session project.

In this lesson, you will learn how to import an existing voice recording into Palette and prepare it for use in a guided session project. You will see how to rename and manage projects from the dashboard, create a new Voiceover project, and upload an audio file so it can be processed and edited just like a recording made inside Palette

In this lesson, you will learn how to use the Voice Enhancement tools to improve the sound quality of your recordings. You will explore the available enhancements, including tone shaping, de-essing, rumble removal, and automatic noise muting, and understand how each one contributes to clearer and more balanced voice audio.

The lesson explains when to keep these enhancements enabled, how different tone presets affect the character of your voice, and how to adjust settings to avoid harsh "S" sounds, unwanted low-frequency noise, or subtle background artifacts.

In this lesson, you will learn how to save your completed voice recording to the audio library so it can be used in guided session projects. You will see how to rename your recording for clarity, export it as a standalone audio file, and understand how the rendering process prepares the file for future use.

The lesson also explains how the private audio library works, allowing you to store and access your recordings across different projects while keeping them accessible only to your account unless you choose to publish them.

In this lesson, you will learn how to start a Guided Session project and become familiar with its workspace. You will see how creating a new guided session automatically generates a project saved to your account, and how the overall layout mirrors the Voiceover workspace for a consistent editing experience.

The lesson introduces the four main sections of the Guided Session interface: the Audio Library on the left for accessing voiceovers, music, soundscapes, frequencies, and sound effects; the track area where you layer and organize audio elements; the timeline where clips appear and are edited; and the control panel used for playback and editing tools.

In this lesson, you will learn about the five types of audio elements available in a guided session project and how to access them through the Audio Library. You will explore the categories—Voiceover, Music, Soundscape, Frequency, and Sound Effects—and understand what each type contributes to a session.

The lesson also demonstrates how to preview and add a voiceover to your session by dragging it from the library onto the timeline. You will see how the voiceover loads and becomes available for playback and editing, and how the same tools used in the Voiceover project apply within guided session projects.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use markers to plan and structure your guided session before adding audio elements. Markers act as visual reference points on the timeline, allowing you to map out the flow of your meditation and outline where different elements—such as nature sounds, music, voice narration, transitions, and mood changes—will begin or change.

In this lesson, you will learn how to choose and add background music to your guided session. You will explore the Audio Library's filtering system, which allows you to narrow down hundreds of tracks by theme, mood, instruments, and embedded nature sounds.

You will also see how to preview tracks, evaluate their tone and texture, and select one that complements your session's structure. After choosing a track, you will learn how to place it on the timeline, align it with your markers, and position it to support the voice narration and overall flow of the meditation.

In this lesson, you will learn how to organize your guided session by naming and assigning tracks for specific audio elements. Labeling tracks helps keep your project structured and easy to manage as more layers are added.

You will also learn how to add nature sounds from the Soundscape library, position them at the beginning of the session, and adjust their duration and fade-out so they blend smoothly with the voice and music. The lesson shows how to fine-tune track volume to keep background sounds subtle and supportive.

In this lesson, you will learn how to add healing frequencies to your guided session to enhance the listening experience. You will explore the two available types, binaural beats and isochronic tones, and understand the difference between them, including when headphones are required.

The lesson demonstrates how to place the frequency track so it begins with the music, apply fade-ins and fade-outs for smooth blending, and keep the volume subtle so the effect remains gentle and supportive. You will also learn how to use mute and solo controls to isolate layers while mixing.

In this lesson, you will learn how to enhance your guided session by adding sound effects to support transitions and emotional shifts. You will see how to position a sound effect at a meaningful moment in the narration, align it with your markers, and fine-tune its placement so it complements the spoken words.

The lesson also demonstrates how to adjust volume to keep sound effects subtle and supportive, and how to apply a gentle fade-in to create a smoother entrance.

In this lesson, you will learn how to introduce uplifting music and transition smoothly from the original background track. You will explore how to select music that supports an emotional shift, position it on the timeline, and overlap two tracks to create an automatic crossfade.

The lesson also demonstrates how to fine-tune the transition timing, extend the music to reach a natural ending point, and apply a long fade-out to create a smooth and professional conclusion.

In this lesson, you will learn how to monitor and control volume levels to ensure your guided session sounds clear and distortion-free. You will understand the importance of preventing clipping by keeping peak levels below 0 dB and leaving sufficient headroom.

The lesson also explains how to monitor average loudness using RMS levels, how to read the Peak Max and RMS Max indicators, interpret color warnings, and evaluate different sections of your session to maintain a balanced mix.

In this lesson, you will learn how to keep your voice clear and present when mixing it with loud, dynamic, or emotionally rich music. You will understand why simply lowering the music volume often produces an unnatural sound.

The lesson introduces the Presence control, which allows you to push the music into the background without flattening its energy. You will also learn how combining presence adjustment with subtle volume changes provides the most natural and professional balance between voice and music.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use stereo panning to create a more immersive listening experience in your guided sessions. Panning allows you to place sounds in the left or right audio field, helping listeners perceive different elements in each ear and creating a sense of space and depth.

The lesson demonstrates how to access the pan control in the advanced track settings and adjust it to position sounds across the stereo field. By placing complementary elements on opposite sides, you can enhance clarity and create a more engaging spatial listening experience.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use volume automation to create smooth and dynamic volume changes throughout your guided session. Instead of splitting tracks or applying global volume adjustments, automation allows you to raise or lower volume at specific moments on the timeline.

You will see how to add automation points, reduce music volume when narration begins, maintain balanced levels during the session, and gently raise the volume again when the voice ends. The lesson also explains how automation percentages relate to track volume.

In this lesson, you will learn how the Snap to Grid feature helps you align audio elements accurately on the timeline. You will see how clips automatically snap to timeline markers, the playhead, and other audio clips, making it easy to start layers at exact moments and keep elements synchronized.

The lesson also demonstrates how snapping works when trimming clips and aligning multiple audio layers, and why this feature is useful for maintaining precision while editing.

In this lesson, you will learn how to publish your completed guided session and make it available for listeners. You will understand how the session range determines what portion of your project is exported, why the automatic range setting works for most cases, and how to switch to manual range selection.

The lesson also explains the publishing process, including choosing a license, setting your profile image, adding a public title and description, and preparing your session for listeners. You will see how Palette renders your project into a single audio file and generates a shareable link.

In this lesson, you will learn how the paid license works and when you should obtain it. You will see how to purchase a one-time license to download your guided session as a high-quality MP3, receive an invoice, and obtain a royalty-free license agreement covering all audio elements used in your project.

The lesson explains how this license allows you to distribute and monetize your session outside Palette, including publishing on YouTube, meditation apps, courses, social media, and live classes.

In this lesson, you will learn how to keep your projects organized as your library grows. You will see how the All tab provides an overview of everything you create, while the Guided Sessions and Voiceovers tabs help you filter projects by type. You will also learn how to mark projects as favorites and use the search function.

The lesson introduces tags as a powerful way to organize and categorize your work. You will learn how to create tags, assign them to projects, and filter your library to display only sessions that match a specific category.

In this lesson, you will learn how to access and manage your account settings and billing information. You will see how to update your profile image, name, and password, and understand how to request an email change if needed.
