What good explainer music does

The 77 tracks made for explainer videos run from 76 to 172 BPM, with a median near 99. In practice, that means steady, mid-tempo music that gives the voice space.

Keep the voice first

Set the narration level first, then bring the music up until you can just hear it, then lower it a little. A common mistake is a track that sounds great alone but makes words hard to follow. 100% of these tracks are instrumental, which avoids competing lyrics.

Different video types

Long videos need several tracks

The typical track is about 1:40 long. For a ten-minute video, you can either loop one track or chain two or three similar tracks. Crossfade for a second or two so the change is not noticeable.

A quick selection workflow

  1. Record the narration first.
  2. Search “explainer” and preview tracks under your voice.
  3. Choose the quietest track that still gives the video some energy.
  4. Lower the level by a few decibels during complex explanations.
  5. Test on laptop speakers and headphones.
