Start with the job the music has to do

๐ŸŽฌ YouTube & video

For explainers, travel edits, cooking videos and intros, begin with music that leaves room for narration. Lo-Fi, acoustic and corporate tracks are useful first filters.

๐ŸŽ™ Podcasts & streams

For an intro or a live background bed, favor a steady arrangement and avoid a big melodic change directly under speech.

Browse Jazz โ†’

๐ŸŽฎ Games & playthroughs

Match the scene, not just the genre: ambient for exploration, cinematic for story moments, and game BGM for battles or menus.

๐Ÿ’ผ Business & presentations

For a product demo, company profile or slide deck, use an unobtrusive rhythm and leave enough space for the message.

A quick workflow that prevents mismatches

  1. Set the mood first. Calm, upbeat, dark, epic and cute are available as filters in the catalogue.
  2. Check tempo and length. A short intro needs a different shape from a long stream or background loop.
  3. Preview against your actual edit. Listen once with dialogue or game audio playing before downloading.
  4. Download from the track page. The file is an MP3, so you can trim, loop, fade and mix it into your project.
Need music behind spoken words? Start with a sparse arrangement, lower the music below the voice, and avoid prominent vocals. The library includes vocal tracks too, so check the โ€œWith Vocalsโ€ badge before using a track as background music.
