Using calm music
Under a voice, pick sparse
A single piano or a pad leaves the 1–4 kHz range free for speech. Busy arpeggios in that range make a narrator sound muffled even at low volume.
Check the ending
Calm tracks often fade rather than resolve. If your video ends on a hard cut, trim to the end of a phrase, or generate a version with a clean final chord.
Calm music FAQ
Is this calm music free?
Yes, for personal projects. Every track downloads free in MP3 and WAV, with no account and no attribution. Commercial use — monetized videos, ads, client work, apps and websites — needs a Sonilo Pro or Premium plan.
Can I use it in a monetized YouTube video?
A monetized channel counts as commercial use, so it needs Pro or Premium. Sonilo does not register library tracks with YouTube Content ID.
Do I need to credit Sonilo?
No. None of the library tracks require attribution, on any plan.
What if I can’t find the right calm track?
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
