One Minute Background Music for Spots

One minute background music on Audiosocket is a royalty-free set of 60 second edits and short versions cut to score a complete spot, promo or bumper. Tracks average about a minute and are almost all instrumental, spanning cinematic underscore, trailer and news promo cues, rock and hip hop beats, led by percussion, keyboards, electric guitars and strings. Onwards (60 Seconds Edit) by Tim Besamusca and Blue (60 Sec.) by Travis Geer show the format.

About this Playlist

They cluster tightly around one minute; the average runtime across the collection is one minute and one second. Most are labeled as dedicated edits in the title, for example Onwards (60 Seconds Edit) and Ravage (60 Seconds Edit) by Tim Besamusca, Blue (60 Sec.) by Travis Geer and Parker (Short Version) by vestevent, so the arrangement was cut for a sixty second slot rather than faded down from a longer master. Check the exact runtime on each track before locking a spot, since short versions can vary by a few seconds.
Almost entirely. About nine in ten tracks are instrumental, which is what a sixty second spot with voiceover needs: room for the read with no lyric fighting the copy. The exception is a short vocal version, Aurora (Short Version 1) by little dume, for edits where a sung hook is the idea. Instrumentation leans on percussion, electronic textures, keyboards, electric guitars and strings, with acoustic instruments, winds and world elements on a smaller share of tracks.
Film and TV underscore first, then cinematic and trailer music, followed by rock, pop, hip hop instrumental beats, kids and electronic cuts. Sub-genre tags include suspense and tension, news promos, action adventure, crime mystery and funk, and sounds-like references point to Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, Hans Zimmer, Law and Order and reality TV. The mood spread is wide, from happy, exciting and inspiring to dramatic, quirky and silly, so a broadcast promo, a tech sizzle and a quirky product ad can all be scored from the same page.
It can, and it is resolvable. Content ID claims sometimes appear on videos that use licensed catalog music; if one lands on your pre-roll or promo, dispute it by stating the track was licensed through Audiosocket. Every track is cleared for commercial use under the license purchased, including monetized YouTube video, ads and client work, and the license for that finished spot is perpetual.
Sixty second broadcast and digital spots, promos, bumpers, pre-rolls and social ads that need a complete musical arc in one minute. The theme tags include sci-fi, action, drama, city life, professional services, travel vlog, quirky ads and brands, which maps to network promos, app and service explainers, agency sizzles and channel idents. Because the edits already land at about a minute, an editor can drop one in, align the ending to the final frame and spend the time on picture instead of building a music edit.
