( Music )
Music made for this episode, not found for it
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. Nothing is searched, nothing is reused by a thousand other shows.
The catalogue is the problem
A track you found is a track you now have to fit: cut it to length, loop it, fade it, and ride its volume around every sentence. The fit never gets better than nearly, because the track was not made for your episode.
A track generated inside the editor knows about your episode. The Match chip sizes the bed to your voice track, and once it lands on the timeline it ducks under the speech automatically — cut a minute of filler and the music re-balances itself.
Nearly right means re-roll, not re-search
When a result is close, you do not go hunting for a different track — you regenerate. And a generated track comes apart into its parts, so “the track is right but the drums are too busy” has a precise answer: re-roll only the drums, keep everything else.
On Plus and Max the music carries a commercial license, and every export made on those plans ships its own license record. The price is shown next to the Generate button before you commit.
- Bed, intro/outro or sting
- Sized to your voice track
- Ducks under speech on its own
- Re-roll one part, keep the rest
FAQ
01How 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.
Read more →02Can the music fit my episode length automatically?
The length, yes. When you generate a background bed, the Match chip in the Length row sets the track to your episode’s duration, instead of you guessing a length and hoping it fits.
Read more →03Can I get the music as separate stems?
Yes. A generated track comes apart into its parts, and you can re-roll one of them — the drums, say — without touching the rest. The parts on offer depend on the track: a gentle voiceover bed may have no drums to swap.
Read more →04Is the music licensed for commercial use?
Yes — music you generate in Cast comes with a commercial license on Plus and Max, and every export made on those plans carries its own license record. Free music is only free until a platform, a client or a rights holder asks where it came from; here you have the answer on file. (Free and Lite have no commercial license, and music you upload yourself is yours to clear.)
