# What is a Multi Track Edit?

> Learn what a Multi Track Edit is and how cuts are set up for the edit.

## So.... What is a Multi Track Edit?

**Im glad you asked!** Multi Track Edits are edits that combine or work with multiple tracks/songs together (like mashups or mixes). Each Multi Track Edit has its own separate pricing, which is set per edit.

## What are cuts?

Cuts are the specific sections of each track/song that you want included in your Multi Track Edit. Think of them as the start and end points that define which parts of each track stay in the final version.

**For Multi Track Edits:** A cut is simply the portion of each track you want to keep. You can have just one cut (like keeping the first 60 seconds), or multiple cuts that are stitched together for each track.

**Here are some Multi Track Edit examples:**

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Example 1">
    This example uses three tracks played one after another with clean transitions and no added effects.

    **Track 1:** 0:00 – 0:40\
    → Clean cut into Track 2

    **Track 2:** 0:00 – 0:35\
    → Clean cut into Track 3

    **Track 3:** 0:00 – End

    **Notes:**

    * No fades or sound effects.
    * Each track starts immediately after the previous one ends.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Example 2">
    This example uses a single track with multiple cuts, followed by a transition into the next track.

    **Track 1:**

    * **Cut 1:** 0:00 – 0:30
    * **Cut 2:** 1:10 – 1:38\
      → Smooth transition between cuts\
      → 4-second fade-out at the end of the track

    **Track 2:**

    * **Cut 1:** 0:00 – End\
      → 6-second fade-out to finish

    **Notes:**

    * Cuts within the same track should transition seamlessly.
    * The fade-out signals the transition from Track 1 to Track 2.
    * No overlapping layers beyond fades.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Example 3">
    This example uses multiple tracks, each with multiple cuts, plus cue-based transitions and a subtle sound effect.

    **Track 1:**

    * **Cut 1:** 0:00 – 0:28
    * **Cut 2:** 0:52 – 1:12\
      → Transition between cuts on musical phrases

    **Track 2:**

    * **Cut 1:** 0:15 – 0:45
    * **Cut 2:** 1:20 – 1:48\
      → Add a subtle riser or whoosh during the final 2 seconds

    **Track 3:**

    * **Cut 1:** 0:00 – 0:34
    * **Cut 2:** 1:05 – End\
      → 8-second fade-out at the end

    **Notes:**

    * Cuts are timed to beats or natural song sections.
    * Sound FX should support the transition and resolve as the next track begins.
    * Only one primary track plays at a time; effects are transitional and minimal.
