Cerebriam Studio allows you to import multiple audio files and arrange them on separate tracks. You can then adjust the timing to merge them together. Similarly, splitting an audio file involves selecting the portion you want to separate and using the scissors icon to divide it into two or more parts.

There are a variety of software options available for audio editing, ranging from professional-grade applications like Adobe Audition or Avid Pro Tools, and powerful and simpler to use options like Audacity and Cerebriam Studio. The best choice depends on the user’s specific needs, and technical expertise.

The ideal length for an audio clip varies depending on the social media platform and the context. For instance, on Instagram, a video (and thus the accompanying audio) is good at 60 seconds for a regular post, and up to 15 seconds for a Story. Understanding the platform’s limitations and the audience’s attention span can help guide the length of your audio clips. Some platforms will allow you to upload longer content, and you should balance this with how long your audience is likely to listen/watch your content.

Lossy and lossless refer to different types of audio file compression. Lossy formats (like MP3 or AAC) reduce file size by eliminating some audio information, in a way that is barely noticeable to the human ear. Lossless formats (like FLAC or ALAC), on the other hand, compress the audio without losing any information, preserving the original sound quality. The trade-off is that lossless files are generally much larger in size.

Simply upload to Cerebriam Studio the music you wish to add to your video, and trim, and control the volume in the online editor. You can also delete the original audio from the video if it’s not to your liking.  

There are several strategies to optimize podcasts for social media sharing. You can add a fun, engaging image with a title to your audio using Cerebriam Studio,  share short clips or quotes from the episode on other platforms, or use hashtags related to your podcast’s theme. Making sure your audio is clear, engaging, and well-edited is key.

It’s best to use royalty-free music, music you’ve created yourself, or music provided by the social media platform itself (like Instagram’s music library). If you use copyrighted music without permission, your content could be taken down, repeat violations could block your account, or you could face legal consequences.

While live streaming doesn’t provide the same opportunity for post-production editing as pre-recorded content, there are still steps you can take to improve audio quality. You can use an external microphone, choose a quiet environment, check your audio levels, and use noise reduction tools.
