Three jobs, three kinds of track
- The starting-soon screen: a calm, steady track that holds the room without drawing attention. These tracks run about 2:26 and sit mostly between 64 and 110 BPM, with a median around 78.
- Scene transitions: very short stings. The typical transition cue is only about 0:22 long, which is exactly what you need to cover a scene change without making viewers wait.
- Countdowns and reveals: tracks with rising tension for rankings, results and “top five” segments. They run about 1:03 at a median of 108 BPM.
Starting-soon screens: how long should the track be?
A waiting screen often runs for five minutes or more, which is longer than any one track. Queue two or three tracks of similar loudness instead of looping a single one; the screen will feel less repetitive, and you will avoid a hard loop point. If your streaming software offers a limiter or a gain filter, apply the same setting to every track so one piece does not suddenly sound louder.
Scene transitions: keep them short and consistent
Pick one or two stings and use them every time. Consistency makes the stream feel designed, and a familiar cue tells the viewer what is coming before the screen changes. Trigger the sting a moment before the cut so the music leads the visuals rather than chasing them.
Countdowns and rankings: let the music build
- Use a tense, rising track for the first items so the music has somewhere to go.
- Save the most dramatic piece for the number-one reveal.
- Cut or fade the music at the exact moment of the reveal for a clean punch.
- Keep the voice-over clear: lower the music during talking, then raise it for the pause.
Keep the stream audio clear
Background music should never fight game audio, chat alerts or your voice. Keep the music level lower than you think necessary, test on headphones and on a phone speaker, and mute it during gameplay if the game soundtrack matters.
A simple setup
- Make three scenes: starting soon, live and transition.
- Add a playlist of two or three waiting-screen tracks to the first scene.
- Assign one sting to the scene-change hotkey or transition.
- Save a countdown cue for special segments.
- Do a short test stream to check levels before going live.

Is this music free to use on my stream?
Yes. The tracks are free to download without registration and can be used in streams and commercial projects. You may not resell or redistribute the audio itself. See the license summary.
Do I need to credit the music?
No. A credit is optional: Music: Nihonichi Free BGM.
Are the tracks instrumental?
Yes. The waiting-screen tracks are 100% instrumental, so they will not compete with your voice.
Can the tracks loop for hours?
They are complete tracks, not seamless loops. For a long waiting screen, queue a few tracks of similar loudness rather than looping one.
Could my VOD get a Content ID claim?
All tracks are AI-generated, and there is no promise that an automated system will never flag a track. If a platform flags a video, follow its review or dispute process.
Before you publish: every track here is AI-generated and free to download without signing up. Read the plain-English license summary for what you can and cannot do, and preview the music in your real edit or mix first.
