Can the music sit under interview voiceover?

Yes. Specify "ducks under voiceover, no melodic peaks during dialogue" and the model keeps the bed below the spoken track.

Will the music build to match my edit?

Describe the arc — "ninety seconds, builds for sixty seconds then resolves on a single piano note" — and the model structures the track to fit.

Can I match it to archival historical footage?

Yes. Reference the era — "1940s wartime documentary, brass and snare drum" — and the model uses period-appropriate instrumentation.

Is the music cleared for broadcast?

Yes. All paid plans include full commercial rights covering broadcast, streaming, festival distribution and theatrical release.

Can I get a consistent theme across episodes?

Save the prompt for your main theme and reuse it with variations — "minor key version, slower tempo, solo cello" — across episodes of the same series.

Nature & Travel

Wide string sections, soft horns and gentle ethnic percussion for landscape reveals, wildlife footage and travel narrative segments.

Hybrid orchestra with rolling percussion and motivational brass for athlete profiles, training montages and championship-arc storytelling.

Emotional Profile

Lone piano, solo cello and warm strings building from intimate to soaring during personal-story climaxes and family reveals.
