Part

Music bed

You might say: background music, ducking

Music under the voice, turned down (ducked) whenever someone speaks. Every track needs a licence that covers your use: music in YouTube’s Shorts tools has its own limits, and other music can bring a Content ID claim.

What it does

Sets pace and mood and fills silence without fighting the words.

Ask

Can you hear every word with the music on?

Trouble

A copyright claim, or music masking the voice.

What to look for

1. Music under the voice
2. Music ducking when someone speaks
