How to add intro music to a podcast

Describe the sound you want, pick “intro/outro” as the kind of track, and generate. The result is original — made for your show, not shared with a thousand others — and once on the timeline it ducks under your voice automatically.

Step by step

01Open Generate from the music laneIn the Main Editor, press “+” on a music lane and choose Generate. The credit price is shown next to the button before you commit.
02Describe it and pick the kindA sentence about mood and instruments is enough. Choose intro/outro (a track with a beginning and an end) rather than a looping bed.
03Drop it in and let it duckAdd the take to the timeline. It sits under your voice with auto-ducking on; set the depth on the lane if you want it deeper.

Nearly right? Re-roll, don’t re-search

Because nothing is being searched, “make it calmer” means regenerate rather than dig through a catalogue. If the track is right but one part is busy, re-roll just that part — the rest stays. On Plus and Max the result carries a commercial license, with a license record in every export.

FAQ

01How does music generation work?

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.

02What does it cost in credits?

Only generation — music and sound effects. Transcription, every kind of transcript editing, noise removal, captions and exporting are free on every plan. The exact price is shown next to the Generate button before you spend anything.

03Can I use my own intro instead?

Upload it on the Upload page, tagging it as Music, and it lands in your Library. From there you can put it on a music lane in the Main Editor — either by picking it from the Library, or by using Replace on an existing music clip.
