Why Mixly
Length down to the second
Trim the intro, bridge or chorus of each song to hit precisely the duration agreed with your wedding planner or dance teacher.
Invisible crossfades
Mixly aligns ends and beginnings for clean musical continuity — no harsh cuts in the middle of the dance.
Even loudness
Automatic normalization avoids volume gaps between an acoustic song and a pop track, so guests never have to touch the speaker.
Speaker-ready export
Download your mix as 320 kbps MP3 or high-quality WAV, ready to hand to your DJ, the venue or play from a USB drive.
How to do it, step by step
- Step 1
Upload 2 to 5 songs
Drop your MP3 or WAV files in the browser. Include a slow song to open and a more upbeat one to lift the guests.
- Step 2
Trim the parts that matter
For each song, keep the intro that moves you, the chorus or the bridge that tells your story. Originals stay untouched.
- Step 3
Pick your transitions
A 4-8 second crossfade between two same-tempo songs, or a hard cut for a surprise effect — your call.
- Step 4
Export and hand it to the DJ
Run the export, grab the 320 kbps MP3 and email it to your DJ, your venue manager, or copy it to a USB drive.
Pro tips
Pick two compatible songs
Two tracks within ±5 BPM mix seamlessly with a crossfade. For a sharp change, use a hard cut instead.
Keep the emotion
Don't trim everything: let 30-60 seconds of the song that really matters breathe — that's what guests remember.
Plan around the choreography
If you're working with a dance teacher, set the mix duration to match the count of the choreography.
Test on the actual sound system
Speakers sound different from headphones. Test the mix on the venue's PA if possible.
