Meta has launched a new Instagram feature this year where users will be able to create Reels using multiple Audio Library tracks.

Using this feature, users can add up to 20 tracks in a Reel, and also line these up with elements like text, stickers, and clips while editing directly in the Instagram app.

Additional Information:

• You can combine licensed music and original audio in your Reel’s audio mix.

• Reels with multiple tracks will display all tracks in the title of the audio.

• Lyrics can only be added for 1 track. If you attempt to add lyrics for a second track, the lyrics previously selected will be removed.

Content Examples:

• Create themed Reels (e.g. a NYC trip with multiple NY songs in it)

• Mix funny Original Audio quips with music for comedic Reels.

• Quickly change the mood of a Reel (e.g. ‘Before & After’)

• Love the instrumental intro of a song but not the rest? Use that section multiple times.

  
  

Instructions on how to create a reel with multiple tracks:

• Record a Reel and tap the Music icon to select your first audio track for your Reel. Remember that you can also add your first track before you begin recording, after you upload video from camera, through the Reels editor, and from audio pages.

• Once you’ve selected the first track you’d like to use in your Reel, tap Edit video and select Add audio to include a second track.

• If you want to add a third track, tap the second track to unselect it (the yellow outline around it should disappear) and select Add audio. Do this for every additional audio you want to add.

• Use the editor tool to place, trim, overlap, and/or adjust the volume of your tracks.

• You can change or remove tracks before sharing your Reel by tapping Edit video, selecting the track, then either tapping Replace or Discard.

How to create a Reel with an audio mix from someone else’s Reel:

Watch someone else’s Reel and tap on the title of the track at the bottom of a Reel to go to the mix’s audio page.

Tap Use audio mix to create your own Reel with the audio mix.

Note: Audio mixes cannot have additional tracks added to them.

Audio mixes and public accounts

• If you have a public account, anyone can use your audio mixes in their Reels on Instagram. Keep in mind that audio mixes aren’t available on Facebook Reels and that a Reel on Instagram with audio mixes can’t be shared to Facebook.
