Podcast Intro Music Workflow (Free & Licensed)
Build a repeatable podcast intro stack with free music, loudness targets, and attribution notes.
Pick the right intro length
Most shows convert better with an 8–20 second intro bed. Longer intros can hurt retention for new listeners.
Production checklist
- Filter instrumental + medium tempo tracks.
- Duck music under the host VO by 8–12 dB.
- Export a consistent intro template for every episode.
- Store the Soundex track URL in your show docs.
