Scoring for commercials
Advertising is where music licensing gets genuinely expensive, because synchronisation rights for commercial use are priced very differently from personal or even editorial use. That single fact is why generated music has taken hold fastest in advertising among small businesses: a local company can have original music for a campaign without negotiating with a rights holder or gambling on a stock track showing up in a competitor’s advert the same month. The craft constraints are unusually rigid. Slots are 15, 30 or 60 seconds and the music has to resolve exactly on time, not fade. A voiceover almost always sits in the middle, so the arrangement needs to thin out under speech and return for the tag. The strongest musical statement belongs at the end, under the logo or the call to action, because that is the part people remember. Generate an instrumental bed and any sung version together, so every cut of the campaign shares an identity.

A commercials music prompt to start from
Confident 30-second advert bed, 112 BPM, C major. Warm piano and light percussion, thins out from 0:08 to 0:22 for a voiceover, full arrangement returning for the last 6 seconds, resolving on the final beat.
Change the tempo first — it moves the result further than any other word. More prompts to copy.

Royalty-free commercials music: what people search for
Searched as commercial music, advertising music, music for commercials, ad music and royalty free music for commercial use. The licence is the whole question in every one of them, and broadcast is where library licences usually stop — a track cleared for a YouTube upload is frequently not cleared for a TV spot, whereas music you generated and own carries no such boundary.
Music for commercials — questions people ask
How long should advert music be?
Match the slot exactly — 15, 30 or 60 seconds — and resolve on the boundary rather than fading. A fade at the end of a paid slot reads as an accident.
Why is music licensing expensive for adverts?
Because commercial synchronisation rights are priced very differently from personal or editorial use. That single fact is why generated music took hold fastest in advertising among small businesses.
Where should the music peak in a commercial?
Under the end tag, with the logo or call to action. That is the part people remember, and saving the strongest moment for the intro wastes it.
How do I make room for a voiceover?
Thin the arrangement out where the speech sits and bring it back for the tag. A full arrangement running under narration costs intelligibility in exactly the seconds you paid for.
Can I use AI music in a broadcast advert?
Yes, under your plan's commercial terms, which cover synchronisation. Confirm them before the campaign, and keep the licence with the project.
Should radio, social and TV cuts share the same music?
Yes. Generating every cut from the same material is what makes a campaign feel like one campaign rather than three unrelated adverts.
