Long-form documentaries, true crime segments, and political analysis. Technical Tips for Editors
Fast tempos and rhythmic "tickers" signal that the information is current and vital.
Use "ducking" to automatically lower the music volume whenever the narrator speaks. The music should sit primarily in the low and high frequencies, leaving the "middle" open for human speech.
Clean, orchestral, or synth-driven tracks make a broadcast sound "official."
To ensure your news music doesn't distract from the message, follow these broadcast standards:
Deep bass drones, clock-like ticking sounds, and minimalist piano.
For daily updates or financial news, a more understated approach is required. This music is often tech-focused and steady.
