From the blog
- Best lofi albums of all time: 12 records worth a full listen Lofi lives on playlists, but a handful of albums shaped the whole sound. Twelve records worth a full listen, from the 2000s beat scene that started it to the bedroom producers who defined the 2010s.
- How to fall asleep to lofi without it waking you up Lofi can help you drift off, or jolt you awake at 2 am with an ad or a drum fill. How to set it up so it only does the first: what to play, how loud, and a timer that fades out.
- How loud should background music be under your voice? Most viewers leave a video because they can't hear the person talking, not because the music is too quiet. How loud music should sit under a voice, how to duck it automatically, and the one EQ move that makes speech clearer.
- Background music for study-with-me videos Study-with-me videos live or die on their sound. What to play under a two-hour session, how to use music to mark the breaks, and the licensing mistakes that get long videos claimed.
- Why is lofi so relaxing? Tempo, texture and repetition Lofi relaxes people for reasons you can measure: a slow tempo, loops that never surprise you, a soft and muffled sound, and no words to follow. What each ingredient does, with numbers from our own catalog.
