Background Music
Add a music track to your project with voice ducking that automatically lowers music while you speak.
ScreenKite has a built-in music library. You can add a track and let ducking lower the music while you speak.
Add Music
- Click the Audio tab in the inspector.
- Open the Add tab.
- In the Background music section, choose a category.
- Click a track to hear a preview. Click it again to stop.
- Click Add next to the track.
The music goes on the Background Music track of the timeline. To remove it, click Remove next to the track.
Every library track has a Creative Commons license. Some licenses need a credit line. See Background Music Licenses and Credits.
Ducking
Ducking lowers other audio while someone speaks. By default it lowers the system audio and the background music when it finds speech on the microphone or voiceover track.
- Open the Audio tab, then the Mix tab.
- Turn on the Ducking section.
- Set Dip (how much the audio goes down) and Release (how fast it comes back).
The Advanced part of the section has Sensitivity, Source, Target, Attack, Hold, Lookahead and Min Speech. Turn on Show timeline ducking regions to see the ducked ranges on the timeline.
Ducking in new recordings
To turn on ducking in every new recording, turn on Settings → Editor → Automatically duck system audio under voice. ScreenKite turns on ducking when the recording has microphone or voiceover audio. Existing projects do not change.
Tips
- Pick music that does not compete with your voice.
- Play the project before you export to check the balance.
