Podcasts and YouTube videos need background music that enhances without distracting. Trackyard’s energy: low filter finds tracks that stay out of the way.
The Use Case
Background music for:
- Podcast intros and outros
- YouTube tutorial voiceovers
- Talking head videos
- Interview shows
- Educational content
Key requirement: Music should be present but never compete with dialogue.
The Solution
Search with energy_level: "low" to find ambient, non-intrusive tracks:
curl -X POST https://api.trackyard.com/api/external/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "background music for podcast",
"filters": {
"energy_level": "low",
"has_vocals": false
}
}'
Best Practices
No vocals: Vocal tracks compete with spoken dialogue. Always use "has_vocals": false
Low energy: Use "energy_level": "low" to ensure the music stays in the background
Longer clips: Podcasts and long-form videos benefit from full tracks or extended clips (2-3 minutes)
