Once upon a time you could only add one audio track to a video when promoting your music with Instagram Reels. BORING.
Well, no more.
The article on the ReverbNation blog, discusses Instagram’s latest feature that allows users to add up to 20 audio tracks to a single Reels video.
This multitrack audio capability enables more precise, ambitious, and experimental content creation. Fans can save and reuse the new sounds edited together, opening opportunities for viral and trending audio to be reimagined.
The article provides a tutorial on adding multiple tracks and suggests five creative ways musicians can use this feature for promotion:
- Greatest Hits Montage: Compile a Reel with snippets of your best songs or even your biggest flops.
- Concert Setlists: Pair live performance photos with studio recordings of the songs in the order they were performed.
- Favorite Themes: Highlight your best guitar solos, synth hooks, or most notable lyrics.
- Before and After: Showcase transformations from demos to polished studio versions or cover-to-original compositions.
- Unlikely Mashups: Combine sections of different songs, whether they fit perfectly or clash humorously.
The article encourages readers to share their creative ideas for using multitrack audio in Reels in the comments section.
