Full:

Add music to my all-nighter painting vlog.
Music: upbeat, drops to quiet around 3am, lifts at dawn.
Pacing: a timestamp every 8-12 seconds, faster as the night goes, slow at dawn.
Keep it at about 20% while I'm talking.
Raise it to about 60% where I'm not talking, and duck it over half a second when I start again.
Use the track I uploaded called "[file name]".
Fade out over the last 2 seconds. No sound effects.

Why these settings

The track direction comes from our all-nighter painting vlog page.
Two numbers (about 20% under speech, about 60% without) give Vyra levels it can apply the same way every time.
Naming a file you uploaded stops it from picking from the library.
"No sound effects" keeps it from adding extras you didn't ask for.

Fixes

Music fights the voice. "Lower the music to 15% whenever I'm talking."
Cuts land off the beat. "Move every cut onto the nearest beat."
Wrong mood. "Something slower, around 80 BPM, piano, no drums."
Track starts mid-phrase. "Start the track from its beginning and trim the end."
