Step 1: Create a Mubert Account

Visit mubert.com and sign up for a free account. The free tier (Mubert Free) allows you to generate tracks up to 25 minutes long for personal use on YouTube, with attribution required. If you need commercial licensing or want to remove the attribution requirement, you can upgrade to Mubert Pro or Mubert Business.

Step 2: Open Mubert Render

From the dashboard, click “Render” to open the track generation interface. This is where you’ll specify the parameters for your music. You’ll see options for genre, mood, and duration — the three key inputs that determine the character of your generated track.

Step 3: Select the Genre

Choose a genre that matches your video’s tone. Mubert offers genres including Chillout, Electronic, Ambient, Hip-Hop, Cinematic, Lo-Fi, and Dance. For a tech review video, “Electronic” or “Lo-Fi” works well. For a travel vlog, try “Chillout” or “Ambient.” For a dramatic short film, “Cinematic” is the obvious choice.

Step 4: Set the Mood

Within each genre, you can fine-tune the mood. Options typically include “Calm,” “Energetic,” “Dark,” “Happy,” “Inspirational,” and “Mysterious.” For a tutorial video, “Calm” and “Inspirational” keep viewers engaged without distraction. For a fitness video, “Energetic” is essential.

Step 5: Specify Duration and Generate

Enter the exact duration you need — Mubert generates tracks up to 25 minutes long. For a standard YouTube video, match the track length to your video length. Click “Generate” and wait 10-30 seconds for Mubert to create your unique track. You’ll hear a preview immediately.

Step 6: Download and Add to Your Video

If you’re satisfied with the preview, click “Download” to save the MP3 file. Import the audio into your video editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or even free tools like CapCut) and layer it under your video’s primary audio. Adjust the volume so the music sits comfortably under your voiceover — typically -15dB to -20dB below your speaking audio.

Step 7: Add Attribution (Free Tier)

If you’re on the free tier, you must include attribution in your video description. Add: “Music by Mubert — mubert.com” in your YouTube video description. If you’re on a paid tier, no attribution is required.

Pro Tips for Better Music Selection

• Generate 3-5 tracks with slightly different parameters and audition them against your video before choosing the final one. The AI produces different results each time, so you’ll naturally find variations.
• For longer videos, generate multiple shorter tracks and crossfade between them in your editor to create subtle variety that keeps the audio fresh.
• Use the Mubert API if you’re a developer building content platforms — you can generate custom soundtracks programmatically for each piece of content.
• Save your favorite genre/mood combinations as presets for future videos to maintain a consistent audio brand across your channel.

Mubert makes it possible to have unique, professional-quality music for every piece of content you create — without ever worrying about copyright claims or licensing fees.
