Part 2: Tips on Using Upbeat Wedding Music in Videos
If you are creating wedding videos, finding a single track that suits all your needs is challenging. Mixing tracks together is tricky, but with these top tips, you’ll be well on your way.
Source All Your Music First
You might find a track you like and want to dive straight into editing, but if you know the track isn’t long enough, you can encounter issues down the line. Source all of the royalty free music you want to use and edit the tracks together before you begin adding your footage.
Match Tempo
If you are going to attempt to blend two tracks into one seamlessly, it is important both tracks are the same; this doesn’t mean they need to be the same speed, but they should stick to a similar beat structure.
Find Sudden Changes
If you find tracks that have sudden changes or builds in them, these can be great points to fade between your tracks. Remember, a track might not seamlessly merge from the end of one to the beginning of the next; you need to find a point where the two can overlap.
Use Diegetic Sound
The audio from the wedding itself can be a great way to mask changes in music; use guest messages, speeches, guests cheering, and first dance announcements to cover the changes in your music track.
Stick With It
Mixing Audio is an art form, and there is no quick way to automate the process. It can be a challenging task to blend two tracks into one but trust us, it’ll feel awesome when no one can hear the blending.
Whether you are looking for a track for your special day or sourcing one on behalf of a client, finding new and exciting music can be challenging. Fortunately, many of the upbeat wedding video music on our list can be mixed and matched to create something as unique as your wedding itself.
