How do I add background music to my game play commentary?

[FitGamer]

Hi there,
I've recently just started my youtube channel and recording my own videos and wish to know how to add background music to my video commentary.
I've tried looking around myself but my results are just how to add background music to my youtube which gets rid of my commentary.

I would appreciate some guidance.

You'd have to add it in a video editor that allows for multiple audio tracks, I do believe. What exactly are you trying to do now?

I've recorded and edited a video of some game play which I'am talking in and wish to underlay some background music so its not just silence and clicking.
What type of video editor should I use I've just used windows movie maker.

Yeah, Im pretty sure you cant do it in Windows Movie Maker. I personally use Adobe Premiere, but I imagine someone on here could probably suggest a cheaper or free alternative. But yeah, you'd just need to put the music clip below your commentary and decrease the volume so you can still be heard Decently.

I was on that Windows Movie Maker hype early on too. Its a pretty simple interface, but it lacks SOOOO much stuff that you truly want in a legitimate video editor.

You need to edit that in. Movie Maker is garbage. Use a better editor than that such as Pinnacle or Sony Vegas.

try using HitFilm4 Express. its complete free software but has several features which are useful when it come to editing videos.

Use a video editor. You could use Hitfilm express if you want something free because it's the best free software around. I personally use Final Cut Pro x.

Well you could depending on what ur recording with you could just play the music in the background with media player

What you are looking for is basically any kind of video editing software that allows mutiple "tracts" to be added
I would recommend Lightworks or HitFilms....Both are free and easy to use
As for the underlaying part....all you have to do is reduce the volume of the audio.....again this can be done through the editor

you only need a video edit software for that. like sony vegas.
