This is a step forward from the previous limitations of Reels’ audio editing capabilities. Users no longer have to rely on third-party apps to combine multiple sounds. Instead, they can do it all within the Instagram app, making the creation process easier and making it more accessible to a wider audience.
Beyond that, multitrack audio empowers creators to craft personalized audio mixes. You can blend various sound elements, incorporate voiceovers, or even add your own original music to your Reels. This opens up a wide variety of possibilities for musicians, comedians, podcasters, and anyone who wants to express their unique style through audio.
To take advantage of multitrack audio, simply record or upload a video in Reels, and then tap the music icon to add your first track. You can add more tracks by tapping the “Add to mix” option. Once you’ve added all your tracks, you can use Instagram’s built-in video editor to arrange, trim, overlap, and adjust the volume of each track to create your perfect audio mix.
