# How do I generate music for my episode?

Describe what you want, pick what kind of track it is — a background bed that loops, an intro/outro, or a short sting — and Cast generates an original track for the episode. It is generated for you, not pulled from a catalogue other shows are also using.

**Where:** Generate page, or the "+" on a music lane in the Studio.

**Plan:** Costs credits. The exact price is shown next to the Generate button before you commit.

![The "+" on an empty music lane opens Generate. A style is picked (Voiceover BG) and the length set to thirty seconds; the credit cost is printed beside the Generate button before anything runs — one take reads 5 credits, and asking for a second re-prices it to 10 on the spot. Both takes come back, and adding one drops it onto the timeline already ducking under the voice, marked Auto-ducking −14 dB.](https://mubert.com/tools/cast/docs-media/generate-music.mp4)

Because nothing is being searched, "make it calmer" means regenerate rather than go hunting for a different track. If a result is nearly right, re-roll it.

Once it is on the timeline it ducks under the voice automatically — you do not draw volume curves.
