FAQ – Cooking Music

How do I match the music to the pacing of my recipe video?
Pick a cue that moves like your edit. Short, snappy cuts (TikTok, Reels) want a clear hook up front and a steady click so you can cut on the beat. Slower walkthroughs feel better with relaxed sections you can loop. As a rule of thumb: baking suits calmer tempos (70–90 BPM); street-food or fast prep likes 100–120 BPM. Cut on downbeats and use the track’s natural “A / B / break” sections to time steps.

Can I combine different tracks in one cooking video?
Sure. Use one piece for the opener, a second for the main steps, and a lighter cue for plating or the end card. Keep keys/BPM in the same ballpark and crossfade on a downbeat so it feels like one flow. Reuse the same instrument palette (guitar/piano/percussion) to keep the mood consistent.

What if I’m making a series, can I reuse the same music across episodes?
Yes—and it helps with branding. Keep a short theme for intros/outros, then rotate a few related beds under the cooking. Your license lets you use each downloaded track across multiple uploads and platforms, so you can build a recognizable sound from episode to episode.

Is there anything I should avoid when using music in cooking content?
Skip cues with sudden drops, wild drum fills, or busy melodies if you’ve got voiceover. Test the bed under real kitchen sounds (sizzle, chopping, clatter) and keep it under the voice by about 6–9 dB, with a small duck on key lines. If something distracts from the food, it’s the wrong track.
