How to Import Songs in Dead as Disco (And Get the Beats Lined Up Perfectly)

Importing your own music into Dead as Disco is one of the most exciting features in this fast-paced rhythm brawler, but getting your custom songs to actually sync with the beat? That takes a little finesse. Whether you’re dropping in Tokyo Drift or a personal remix, this guide will walk you through how to import songs in Dead as Disco and get every hit, dodge, and attack perfectly timed to the music.

Step 1: Head to Stage Select 

To start, navigate to the Stage Select screen and enter Infinite Disco. You’ll see an “Import Song” button here, click it and select the music file you want to use from your computer. How you get your tracks is up to you, but make sure they’re playable audio files (MP3s work fine).

Step 2: Calibrate the BPM

This is where the magic (and the trial-and-error) happens. After importing a song, you’ll need to set the BPM (beats per minute) to match your track. You can do this by tapping or clicking to the rhythm manually, or if you already know the BPM, just Google it (e.g., “Tokyo Drift BPM”) and enter the value directly.

Step 3: Check the Lag Timing

Once the BPM is in place, the game often auto-sets the lag, but don’t trust it blindly. Play a few bars and see if your attacks are syncing with the beat. If things feel off, you’ll need to manually adjust the lag slider.

Try testing extreme values first to understand the difference. Once you’ve dialed in the right number, you’ll feel everything “click.” When done right, you’ll start hitting Perfects, with the game confirming that your moves are landing exactly on the beat.

Step 4: Fine-Tune and Feel the Flow

Even after calibration, some songs may need slight tweaking. Don’t hesitate to bounce between BPM and lag until the hits line up seamlessly. Once everything’s dialled in, Dead as Disco transforms into a completely custom rhythm experience, tailored to your taste in music.

Final Tip: Trust Your Ears

The best metric isn’t the number, it’s how the game feels. A well-synced track will give you better scores, a smoother experience, and more satisfying combos. You’ll know it’s right when you start racking up Perfects and losing yourself in the beat.

Whether you're building your own battle soundtrack or remixing your way through Infinite Disco, mastering the Dead as Disco import song system unlocks a whole new level of gameplay. Customize your rhythm, sharpen your timing, and steal the show—your way.
