+:h2:Making songs
+
+Performous does not currently contain (useful) song editor. UltraStar format songs can be modified with a text editor or with one of the many available editors such as <a href="http://www.yass-along.com/home.html">YASS</a>. FoF format songs can be modified and created with a MIDI sequencer like <a href="http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/">Rosegarden</a>. It is recommended to use an existing song as a template when making a new one. With both formats, you need audio tracks (background with or without vocals and each instrument needs a separate track) in MP3 or other supported format and it is also good to have a cover image and a background video or image.
