I am editing a short podcast introduction with music underneath the first sentence. The difficult part is judging the music while the narrator starts speaking. Before changing the source, I need to check whether the mix itself causes the distraction. A useful comparison seems to require a fixed narration track and matched music levels. I would also retain the original cue so every change remains reversible. The narrator has a soft delivery, and the cue includes a sustained background layer. I would listen to the opening both on headphones and on a small speaker, noting whether individual words remain easy to follow at a comfortable volume. I came across suno fix while looking for possible approaches to this question. I have not tested it on this cue and cannot judge its effect. Reducing a distraction would matter less if the musical entrance lost its shape. What would you compare first when speech and generated music compete for attention?
