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.

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

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

LoL, never noticed the playing of background music until being notified in this post so I just had to go back a video or two to carefully listen to any faint background sounds.

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 🤷♀

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.

Subtle background music bothers me when I'm listening in a second language (Spanish for me). I didn't notice your background music since English is my native language. QUESTION: Is polling the best way to choose between the pleasure of the majority and the needs of the minority? Edit: Typo and add question.

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

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.

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.

The last video I watched, I straight up didn’t notice the music until I saw a comment complaining about it.

Is this a recent change? I haven't noticed music in your videos but I'm a few videos behind

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.

I never noticed the music, but I voted for keeping the music and making it louder because I'm evil and I love ruining everyone's day.

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?
