How to mix two songs for a dance routine
Set the length of your routine, rehearse the change between two songs and download a WAV track with the agreed start and ending.
Prepare the mix in QuickEditThe editor interface is in Spanish for now. Button names appear in Spanish, followed by their meaning in English.
Decide how long the track has to be
Write down the target length, the step that marks the change of song and the sound the dance ends on. If it is a competition, check how long your category can last, where timing starts and which format they accept. The MOD championship, for example, accepts WAV and MP3 and asks for a copy on a USB drive. MOD championship rules (in Spanish).
Place the change on the rehearsed step
In Montaje (session), connect the two files on separate tracks. For a 1:30 routine you can try 46 seconds of the first song and 46 of the second. Place the first clip at 0 and the second at second 44 of the session. That leaves two seconds of overlap and the second clip ends at 90.
Listen to the seconds before the change. If the second song comes in late for the step, adjust the source trim or its position and check the length again. Apply a crossfade if it helps join the phrases, and adjust the track volume if one song masks the other.
Rehearse with the copy you will hand in
Export Toda la sesión (whole session) as a WAV. Do a full rehearsal with that file and time it from the cue the routine uses. Check that the first beat, the change of song and the ending are clear. If you have to hand in a different format, confirm with the organisers how to prepare it. Give the file the name the rules ask for and keep a backup copy.
