I had an email question today about using music behind bits to make them flow better. Here's how I answered.

Use only music that fits and adds to the value of the bit. For example if you're doing a bit on weddings use wedding style music. If you're doing a sports bit use sports music.

Using music to add value and pace, without proper context, rarely works. Music that is there just for the sake of having it there won't actually improve the flow.

Want to make the bit better? Make a better bit. Edit it. Rewrite it. Practice it. Add a phone call to it.

Use music where it fits and reinforces context. If it doesn't do those things, don't worry about it.
