Spooky Music

FAQ – Spooky Music

What works best for YouTube horror shorts and reels?
Use a steady bed with simple harmony and soft highs. Land hits on transitions and leave a breath before jump cuts to lift the scare.

How should I mix spooky music under voiceover in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?
Park music 6–9 dB under speech and roll off harsh highs. Automate small dips around names, numbers, and reveal lines for clarity.

Can I loop a cue for exact timing in CapCut or mobile editors?
Yes. Cut on bar lines, repeat the middle section, then return to the original ending to get a clean button at 15/30/60 seconds.

What fits trailers, teasers, and cold opens?
Start with a thin ambience, add a slow rise, and end on a firm hit. Keep midrange clear to avoid masking titles and captions.

How do I layer sound effects like doors, whispers, or footsteps?
Choose a sparse bed and carve a small EQ pocket for the SFX. Duck the music 2–3 dB during key moments to keep the texture readable.

Is there a safer option for school events or kid-friendly videos?
Pick lighter textures with gentle pulses and no sharp stingers. Avoid sudden risers and piercing highs to keep it friendly.

Will these tracks work in live streams and Let’s Plays?
They do. Select cues with minimal melody, set a constant level, and avoid big hits that fight commentary or game audio.

What formats do I get for quick delivery and revisions?
You receive MP3 and WAV plus loopable sections. That makes quick swaps easy across edits and platforms.
