Track Club Review: Making Creative Wedding Videos Sound Amazing
A few months ago, in addition to using such musical giants as Musicbed and Audiio, our team decided to try the relatively new service Track Club.
Now, we can say with confidence we regret that we did not know about Track Club earlier. This is an amazing platform for music search and sound design that makes our wedding videos even more original and dynamic.
Why? Read our review of Track Club below.
What is Track Club?
Track Club is a music licensing subscription service, where creators can find music for their videos.
When we edit wedding videos for our client videographers, we deliver not only rendered video but a project file and license keys for the songs that we used in the edit. Uploading videos to YouTube or Instagram without this license key can lead to account suspension and even to a legal claim from the rights owner. You can read more about this in our article Background Music For A Wedding Video.
What are the specific benefits of Track Club for content creators in the wedding industry? This platform has something to surprise everyone. They offer to customize the music as if it were created specifically for your particular project.
This revolutionary tool was launched in March 2022 and is called Track Club MixLab™ customizer. It allows users to convert any song in the catalog into exactly what they need to work with any type of content, including wedding footage. Now there is no more need to delve into endless seemingly suitable but not ideal options. Everyone can act as a music producer themselves, adjusting the levels and adding the finishing touches to the perfect soundtrack right in the Track Club app.
This app offers a break from the boring pre-made music solutions that are usually sold to the creator community.
How we use Track Club in projects
For one of our projects, we decided to use the song “Let You Go,” by Allebasi. To make a mix on Track Club, you need to click the MixLab button. After that, a panel appears at the bottom that allows you to select specific settings for the song.
After listening to “Let You Go,” the editor wanted to add a faster tempo to it. To do this, we clicked on the BPM button and added a tempo. The editor stopped at a pace of 100 BPM (beats per minute).
Then, he listened to the final part of the song, where he really liked the “Heys” track vocals, and decided to turn up the volume for it.
It is also possible to turn off the volume of one of the tracks (or group of instruments) by clicking the M (Mute) button, or by lowering the volume level.
In addition, you can also turn on S (Solo) mode to listen to a specific track (or group of instruments).
After applying the parameters, you need to click the “Download” button and select “Download All Stems.”
Track Club offers great benefits as it is possible to download Stems. Stems are instruments that were recorded separately from the song. With the help of Stems, you can do whatever you want with the song you have chosen. You can easily remove the instrument that you don’t like, and, most importantly, you can download them separately and make your own mix in one of the DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation).
We recorded a video for our YouTube channel where we show how we can use Stems from TrackClub in wedding video sound design:
How much does Track Club cost?
Track Club offers a variety of account options to access its curated list of exclusive music. This service has different pricing plans, among which every user can find a suitable option for them.
Track Club’s marketers gave Bride&Groom.video’s clients a promo link 🎁 for 30-day free access. You will be able to fully test the functionality and exclusive offers of this innovative platform. After the trial period, you can decide whether you need a paid subscription, but we are sure you will get the best experience.
Additional info about Track Club
Track Club, powered by Marmoset, is the first Certified B Corp in the music licensing market. What does this mean for the service user? The company adheres to the highest standards in service, complies with all social and environmental indicators, and also respects the principles of public transparency and legal responsibility.
Track Club invests 10% of all profits in public organizations. The main areas of such investments are social justice, education, the fight against homelessness, the protection of music and the arts, justice and inclusiveness, civil rights, and others.
Is it worth It?
Track Club is not just another standard music licensing platform. This company offers original features, such as a music customization tool. This service has abandoned the pursuit of the number of tracks, among which it is difficult to find something worthwhile, and has focused on the quality of the product and the possibility of fine-tuning to suit your needs.
Is it worth it to try Track Club for creating wedding films? The free subscription is definitely a must-have, at least for testing the Track Club MixLab™ customizer. Although the controls of this tool are simple and intuitive, it is obvious that not everyone will want to deal with setting up tracks. For some, it is easier to choose a ready-made option, but even with that, Track Club has something to offer. As for the platform’s customer service, it is also top-notch.
