Editing sound in your Instagram reels can be really important when you want to balance music with Voiceover. Learn how to make it happen in just a couple of minutes!

Set your phone up on a tripod or stable surface.

Tap the music icon to choose your song or sound.

Then tap the timer icon to choose your countdown time and clip duration.

Or put headphones on and record a new video to the music.  Its important to wear headphones so the music and original video audio stay separate to edit later.

Once you've trimmed your clip, tap "Done."

Tap the icon to the right of the record button.

Tap the sound mixing icon.
