I've never noticed it, but generally speaking I'm more likely to notice when background music is missing.

YouTube's "Stable Volume" feature strikes again FYI turn this awful feature off because it wrecks the creator's volume leveling and just makes well made videos sound awful. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the source causing some of the complaints, I've seen it on other channels too.

Your content is great on its own, and does not need any music to flow

I’m a new sub so I’m just going to throw an idea in there. It may have something to do with the genre of music. Something with a beat is going to be more distracting than something more ambient. I do think some background music helps, it may just be too harsh in this case 🤷♀

I can barely hear the music as is, and it is not distracting. Maybe try to find background music that is less "snappy" so it doesn't bother some folks? Like, a cello.

You could use a compressor on ducking style. You need a sidechain compresor on the music track and use a send of your voice to the sidechain in of the compresor. Use a higher ratio and control the thresold where the music down some db on the music in step of your voice.

A lot of people have volume leveling enabled on their systems, some don't even know as the audio drivers enable it by default. I've found that quite a few channels with background music, the music is loud with this enabled, because these algos bring down loud sounds and bring up the quiet parts.

Music to Voice ratio is like 10/90, how does anyone find this disturbing?

I believe it’s the beats that peak too high. I also notice the music, but only the beats. I think softer less "beaty" music would be better, but no music is not the solution 😊

Perhaps using more nature sound like rain, cricket, frog, or perhaps wind chime.

I always find background music distracting, but my understanding is that the music is useful to mask there background noises when you record the narrative and to unify the different takes. if those two things happen, you should keep the music, but at a lower level.

maybe the second one. because when i first read this post i thought to myself hmm, let me remember how distracting it was, and i realized i can't even remember that any music was playing, so that's gotta tell me that it's not THAT distracting

I haven’t noticed it too much. In general, I prefer little to no music in videos. Your videos are usually very well done so I do t think you need to change anything.

I’m getting a few comments about the music in the videos, telling me that it’s distracting.
I don’t have a preference either way, so what do you prefer?
