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

  1. Filter instrumental + medium tempo tracks.
  2. Duck music under the host VO by 8–12 dB.
  3. Export a consistent intro template for every episode.
  4. Store the Soundex track URL in your show docs.
