How to Make Music for a Podcast
Start with a written brief, an audio reference or the artwork for your show.
Method 1: Create from a prompt or spoken script
- Step 1. For a music-only cue, describe the show, mood and instruments in Easy, or load the interview intro example into Custom.
- Step 2. In Custom, put the arrangement in Description. Turn on Instrumental for music without vocals and leave Lyrics empty.
- Step 3. For a spoken intro, put your script in Lyrics, keep Instrumental off, and use Description to request spoken delivery with a quiet score.
- Step 4. Generate a version and listen for a clean handoff to the episode. Trim the cue to your desired length in your audio editor.
Method 2: Use an audio reference to guide your theme
- Step 1. Open Custom and select + Reference, then Reference Audio.
- Step 2. Choose Import audio for a recording you can use, or Record to capture a hummed motif. Select that recording as your reference.
- Step 3. Add a Description of the sound you want to carry over and specify the job of the new track, such as a short cue before the first question.
- Step 4. Generate and compare the result with your existing show theme. Choose a version that fits the same tone and is easy to cut into the episode.
Method 3: Create music from your podcast cover art
- Step 1. Open Soundtrack and upload an image, such as cover art for a new series or episode.
- Step 2. Describe how the image should sound: a bright drum groove for an interview or restrained piano for a documentary.
- Step 3. Generate a soundtrack and preview how its mood fits the show.
- Step 4. Use your chosen cue in an episode trailer, or trim a short section for the opening in your editor.

Match the tone of the episode

Leave space for the next line
Ask for a clear edit point at the end of the phrase, so you can bring in the host without cutting through a busy beat.
Prepare variations for different moments
