If you film yourself singing, dancing or reacting to a song, how you hear the music changes what ends up in your recording.
Wired or Bluetooth headphones
Headphones keep the song out of your microphone, so the recording is mostly your voice. Bluetooth headphones can add a little delay between what you hear and what you do, which matters if you are lip-syncing or timing a dance. Test a short clip first.
A speaker in the room
A speaker lets you move naturally, and the track usually ends up in the recording along with the room. That can be what you want for dance clips. For vocals it often sounds muddy.
Which to pick
- Singing over a backing track: headphones.
- Dance or movement clip where the music should be heard: speaker.
- Reaction videos: headphones, and add the audio afterwards.
Test before the real take
Record ten seconds, play it back with headphones, and check that the voice is clear and the volume is not distorted.
Our app is designed so music from other apps keeps playing while you film. That is in testing, and how it behaves will depend on the music app and your settings.
