Instagram has updated their service and will now allow multiple audio tracks to be added to a Reel when creating it in their platform.
Instagram announced on Tuesday that it will now allow users worldwide to add multiple audio tracks to their Reels. This new feature enables users to incorporate up to 20 tracks in a single Reel. Therefore, enhancing creative flexibility.
To add a track, users simply tap on the “Add to mix” option in the Reel editor. After selecting the tracks, users can trim them to include only the desired audio portions. This will allow remixes and various audio tracks to be combined.
“The launch of multitrack audio in Reels gives creators expanded creative flexibility with the ability to visually align audio with elements like text, stickers, and clips to express their creativity in a way that feels right for them and their audience.”

The overall combined track will be attributed to the creator. Encouraging fans to reuse the unique mix. This new feature eliminates the need for creators to use external editors to mix multiple tracks before applying them to their clips.
Earlier this month, Instagram head Adam Mosseri stated that the platform will not focus on long-form videos. Instead, they’ll prioritise short videos shared between users. “It turns out the long-form video is less symbiotic with these other jobs.
If you watch a 10- or 20-minute video, that means you see less content from friends. Therefore, you interact with your friends less, and you’re actually less likely to send that content or that video to a friend,” Mosseri said in an Instagram Reel.
He added, “So we’re not going to go after that business because it’s part of our core identity to connect people with friends, and we don’t want to undermine that by going after long-form video. We understand short-form video doesn’t always do that, but it can.”
