Tips & Best Practices
Keep Background Music Low
Add background music at a low volume (10-20%) to maintain engagement without overpowering speech or narration.
Always Use Fade In/Out
Adding even a short fade (0.5-1 second) to your music tracks prevents jarring audio cuts at the start and end.
Use Silence Removal for Talking Videos
Silence removal automatically cuts dead air in your audio, making talking-head content feel more dynamic and faster-paced.
Layer Multiple Audio Tracks
You can layer music, sound effects, and voiceover on separate tracks. Adjust each volume independently for the perfect mix.
