How to add background music to a voice recording in Veena

1. Bring your voice in. Open daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Press Upload in the transport bar and choose your file, or press Record and speak into any microphone your browser can see. Veena imports 13 audio formats, including WAV, MP3, M4A and FLAC.

2. Describe the music. Drag your voice clip into the CoProducer panel and say what the recording needs:

Write soft background music for my voice recording: a 90 BPM warm lo-fi bed in A minor with a mellow Electric Piano, a quiet Brush kit and a Round Bass line, no melody on top, plenty of space for the spoken voice, 3 minutes long.

CoProducer measures your take and writes each part to fit it. Every new part arrives as 3 options: hover a card to hear it, press Enter to add it, or choose Skip.

3. Balance voice and music. In the mixer, set the music tracks' faders under your voice. Add a Compressor or 8-Band EQ to the voice track from its FX chain, or ask CoProducer to do it. Mix & Master finishes the loudness. See mixing in Veena.

4. Export. Choose Export from the account menu, pick WAV or MP3 and Full mix. Your voice and the music come out as one file, or as stems if you want them apart.

Frequently asked questions

How can I add background music to my voice recording for free?

Use Veena. Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser. Upload your recording, describe the music, and export the mix as WAV or MP3.

What is the best free app to put music behind my voice?

Veena is a free studio in your browser with nothing to install. Your voice sits on one track, CoProducer writes the music on others, and the mixer sets how loud each one is. The finished mix exports as WAV 24-bit/48 kHz or MP3 320 kbps with no watermark, and you own what you generate.

Can CoProducer write music that fits my recording?

Yes. Drag your voice clip into the CoProducer panel and describe the mood. CoProducer measures your recording's tempo and where your phrases land, then writes drums, chords and bass to leave space for your voice. Each part arrives as 3 options to hear before you add one, and one Ctrl+Z undoes any change.

How do I keep the music quiet enough to hear my voice?

Open the mixer in Veena and pull the music tracks' faders below your voice track, then raise them until the bed supports the words without covering them. Or ask CoProducer in plain words: make the music sit under the voice. Mix & Master then evens the loudness for the export.

Can I do this on my phone for free?

Yes. Veena opens in your phone's browser as Pocket Studio, with nothing to download. Record or upload your voice, ask CoProducer for the music, and export from the Project sheet. The project saves to your account, so your laptop opens the same tracks when you want finer control.

How can I add background music to audio online for free?

Use Veena in your browser. Upload or record your audio, ask CoProducer for the music in the mood you want, and set the music tracks below your voice in the mixer. Export a WAV or MP3 on the free plan with no watermark.
