How to Pick The Best Background Music for Your Videos

🎵✨Finding the perfect background music for your videos doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming. In fact, it can be a lot of fun!, In this video, you will discover how to do it easily.

Where to Find Great Music 🎧

Using popular music from your favorite artists is a no-go due to copyright issues. That’s where music libraries come in. These online services offer thousands of songs to choose from. For beginners, I recommend an inexpensive library like Artlist.io. All the music you hear in the video is from Artlist.io. Here’s why I use it:

Affordable:

Starting at $9.95 per month for social media publishing or $16.58 per month for a wider license.

Seachable:

Search by keywords like "acoustic," "corporate," or "positive" to find matching songs.

Quick Download:

Simply click the download button and have the song ready on your computer.

Picking the Right Music 🎶

When your video features talking, it’s crucial to choose music that doesn’t compete with the voice. Here’s what to look for:

Avoid Busy Music:

Songs with complex melodies or vocal tracks can distract from your message.

Use Underscores:

Simple rhythm tracks without melodies are ideal for background music.

Positive and Energetic:

Music that implies possibilities and opportunities is great for most videos. Use keywords like "positive" to find these tracks.

Matching Music to Your Video’s Emotion 💖

Music sets the emotional tone of your video. Here are some tips:

For Positive Videos:

Use music that’s upbeat and energetic.

For Sad or Serious Videos:

Avoid overly dramatic or depressing music. Opt for sweet, compassionate tracks instead.

Practical Tips for Music Use

Keep it Short:

Don’t let a piece of music run for more than a minute. This keeps your video feeling fresh.

Mixing Music:

Each song is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all volume setting. Here’s a simple mixing tip: Avoid using headphones while mixing.

Listen on small speakers at a quiet volume.

Ensure you can hear the emotion of the music without it overpowering the voices.
