Custom music and sound design for podcasts — intros and outros, audio branding, bed music, and sound effects. Everything is original, written specifically for your show.
No. Every piece is composed from scratch for your project. You won't hear your intro on anyone else's show.
We start with a brief conversation about your show — its tone, audience, and what you're going for. From there we deliver an initial concept, refine based on your feedback, and hand off final files in any format you need.
Unlimited, until it's right.
You do. Every project comes with a full commercial license.
Whatever you need — MP3, WAV, stems, alternate cuts. Just ask.
Fill out the contact form at nearestcreative.com and describe your show — the genre, tone, and what you're going for. We'll follow up to schedule a brief conversation and go from there.
$125 per 10 seconds of finished audio, across all services. A 30-second intro plus a matching 30-second outro is $750. A full audio branding package — typically 5 to 10 stingers and transitions — runs $375–$625. A 60-second loopable bed track is $750. Sound design projects are scoped in advance so you know the total before work begins.
A podcast intro is a single piece of music that plays at the start of each episode. Audio branding is a complete sonic identity system — the intro may be part of it, but branding also includes stingers, ad bumpers, transition sounds, and recurring musical motifs used throughout every episode.
Bed music (also called underscore) is low-key instrumental music that plays beneath a host's voice during commentary, interviews, or monologues. It's mixed specifically to leave headroom for speech — adding energy and warmth without competing with the dialogue.
A typical intro and outro takes about one to two weeks from brief to final files. A full audio branding package may take two to three weeks, depending on scope. Timelines are confirmed at the start of your project.
No. The commercial license covers full use under your show's name. There's no attribution requirement.
