Music & Sound Effects

The right audio turns a clip into content

The right music and sound effects transform a clip from gameplay footage into content. A bass drop on a highlight, a whoosh on a transition, or a background track that matches the vibe - audio sets the emotional tone and keeps viewers watching longer.

StreamLadder's Clip Editor includes a library of royalty-free music and sound effects cleared for use on every platform. Search by mood, genre, or category. Drag audio onto the timeline, trim the length, and adjust volume. Every track is safe to post on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and more.

Sound effects work best when they're timed to specific moments. Add a hit sound on a headshot, a boom on an explosion, or a comedic sound on a fail. Background music should complement your clip audio, not compete with it - use the volume slider to find the right balance.

Pair music and sound effects with zoom effects for cinematic highlights. Add text-to-speech narration for commentary, and finish with captions so your clip works with and without sound.
