The cheer routine that hits on every count
Build a 2:30 hit mix with explosive clips, voice-over, rhythmic breaks and sound FX that fire up the crowd.
Quick overview
In cheerleading, the mix is as important as the routine itself. It carries the counts, marks the pyramids, signals the jumps and pumps up the squad. With Mixly, you build your hit mix online without going to a studio: clips of recent songs, voice-over recorded on a phone, electronic breaks and sound FX for transitions.

How to do it, step by step
- Step 1
Upload favorite clips
Add 4-8 short songs (chart, hip-hop, EDM). You can also upload a voice-over recorded on your phone.
- Step 2
Cut into 15-20s sections
Each section carries part of the routine: opening, jumps, stunts, pyramids, dance, ending.
- Step 3
Add the FX
Drop a sound effect (whoosh, siren) at every transition to mark the move between two sections.
- Step 4
Export and rehearse
Get the final mix, run a rehearsal, tweak if needed — Mixly keeps your project for re-editing.
Pro tips
Respect the structure
A classic routine flows opening → tumbling → stunts → pyramid → jumps → dance → ending. Time musical breaks on these sections.
Clean voice-over
Record voice-over in a quiet room with the phone close to your mouth. Mixly normalizes the level with the rest.
Short, punchy clips
10-20 seconds per song is enough. The listener never has time to get bored.
Avoid inappropriate lyrics
Competitions require clean lyrics (clean version). Verify before competition day.
