Staying in sync with the music when you film
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerPlay the song out loud from the same phone that's recording, or add the track afterwards in an editor and line up the first beat. Bluetooth speakers can add a small delay, so check timing on playback.
- Do a clap on the first beat: it's easy to line up later.
- Wired or built-in speaker playback is the most predictable.
- If you re-add the official track in an editor, mute the room audio.
Keeping your music playing while you record is one of the main things Music Wide Selfie is being built for.
