Need Daz Lip Sync Information

I have been experimenting with daz' lip sync. I have been following the many tutorials and basically understand what I need to do and how everything works, except for one thing.  When I converted a song to wave format to experiment with, and used it in Daz, the model did the animations for the words with no problem, however, the mouth also moved for the music and anything else in the song.  Is there a way to stop that from happening.  I noticed a section for text file but am not sure yet how to use that and wondered if I need to create a text file and what I should be putting in that file,

Anyone know about that part of Lip Sync (am referring to the actual Lip Sync in the 32 bit versions of Daz)

    Hi You need  clean voice track for lipsinc... no music ..no household background noise etc or the  program will create false phonemes.

    You can voice record only the lyrics to your music yourself
    with clear pronunciation at the same tempo as your song.
    and replace it with your song  for the rendered animation.

    This is how I did this famous Audio from the original "Ghost in the Shell" anime which had subtle"ethereal" back ground music.

    Thanks Wolf.  Got confused due to another video that was typing text in that section in animate and thought that was all I needed to fix.

    Is there a reason that the Lip Sync is not available in the 64-bit of DAZ?  I would love to experiment with it.

    If you want to experiment, you can install both the 32-bit and 64-bit verisons of DAZ Studio on your machine, run the 32-bit to set up the lip sync, save the scene and then do the rendering in 64-bit.

    According to a Daz employee it is a licensing issue.

    @Faeryl Womyn I have found that adding a text file never truly 
    helps and some have reported it  actually causes more bad phonemes.
    YMMV.

    If you are talking about Mimic, while I will admit it has been years since I actively used it, I deffinately found the text files useful at times. you can even manipulate the phonemes by exaddurated spelling ie  "baaad" or uther purposeful mispellings to get where you want to go with a particular model..hope that helps. certainly there are times that it is not useful.
