ChatGPT approaches audio mixing as a creative conversation, suggesting music moods and mixing strategies based on your content type. Describe the feel you want, preview the mix, and fine-tune volume levels and ducking through natural dialogue. ChatGPT can recommend which sections need music emphasis and which need clean dialogue.

  1. Share your video and describe the audio: "Add upbeat background music to this tutorial"

  4. Finalize and export the mixed video
