About this track
An AI-generated instrumental: “Instrumental only, no vocals, 80 BPM, warm mellow cozy mood, calm positive intimate vibe, non-corporate tone. Soft rounded slow-release synth pads with warm low-frequency envelope, gentle muted soft-plucked melodic elements, smooth warm soft low end foundation, extremely subtle faint light percussion with very quiet transient response. No piano present.”. Quality-checked before listing, free for commercial and personal projects — videos, podcasts, games, streams and client work. No royalties — just credit BudgetPixel AI.
Editor's note (8.0/10): Nearly perfectly aligns with the brief, with only a small deduction for unrequested faint piano phrasing in the final section, and otherwise has a clean unobtrusive mix ideal for under-speech use.

- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Fireside Slow Drift"?
- Yes — crediting BudgetPixel AI is the one condition of the licence, and downloading still needs no account. Put the credit line from this page wherever your project lists sources: a video description, end credits, show notes, or a game's credits screen.
- What format and length is "Fireside Slow Drift"?
- "Fireside Slow Drift" runs 20 seconds and downloads as WAV at 44.1 kHz, with MP3 on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for mastering headroom, MP3 for a smaller upload.
- Can I use "Fireside Slow Drift" in a monetised YouTube video?
- Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel never registers library audio with Content ID, and because this track is licensed to everyone non-exclusively under CC BY 4.0, no one can hold the exclusive rights Content ID requires. If a claim ever appears, dispute it and cite this page and its licence.
