Music for interviews: what to know
Stay out of the voice’s range
Two people talking fill roughly 200 Hz to 4 kHz. Pads, low piano and soft plucks leave that range free; a lead melody fights the speaker for attention.
Set the level once
Bring the music in over the establishing shots, then sit it about 20 dB under once the first answer starts. Riding the level mid-answer is more distracting than no music.
Listen for the build
A track that swells two minutes in will swell under somebody’s answer. Play each one to the end, or pick the ones that stay level.
Let the bed hide the cuts
Answers are cut together from takes. One continuous bed under a whole answer smooths those jump cuts; change track only when the topic changes.
Music for interviews: FAQ
Is this music for interviews free?
Yes. Every track downloads free in MP3 and WAV, with no account. The free download is for personal use. Commercial use, such as monetized videos, ads (including paid ad campaigns), client work, apps and games, needs Pro or above.
Can I use it in a monetized YouTube video?
Yes, on Pro or above. Monetized videos are commercial use, which the free download does not cover. Sonilo does not register library tracks with YouTube Content ID.
Do I need to credit Sonilo?
No. Library tracks need no credit or attribution, on any plan. You can still mention Sonilo if you like.
What if I can’t find the right track for interviews?
Describe the one you need — instruments, tempo, mood, length — and generate it with Sonilo’s text-to-music. New accounts get free credits; custom tracks follow your plan’s license.
License

Using a track in ads (including paid ad campaigns), client work, or monetized or sponsored content needs Pro or above, with no revenue cap. Sonilo does not register library tracks with YouTube Content ID. A free download doesn’t come with a license certificate; on Pro and above you can get one for any track here.
