A large and high-quality audience on social networks can be a great source of income. However, this is also a job and a very time-consuming one at that. However, to promote it, you need to be able to create quality content.

When it comes to services where the main content is video, the challenges are much greater. Writing a text post and attaching a photo is easy. Meanwhile, it takes more effort to create an interesting, dynamic, and beautiful video. The audio component plays a major role in this.

So, here’s how to make your own sound on TikTok or create audio in a few simple steps.

How to add music to a video on TikTok

A distinctive feature of the Tik Tok social network is the ability to add music to a clip legally. Of course, there is a link to the service database, but unlike some video editors, you don’t need to download audio from your device.

So, if you want to add music to a video on TikTok, you have to follow these steps:

• First of all, open the TikTok app on your smartphone.
• Then, tap on the “+” icon in the middle of the horizontal bottom menu.
• Take a clip and tap “Next”.
• After that, tap on the “Sounds” button.

• The music section of the service opens. There’s a search bar, different playlists, popular and recommendations. In general, all you have to do is to find and choose something interesting.

• If necessary, trim the track, add all sorts of effects, caption, hashtags, and complete the post.

Once you have completed these steps, you will add music to your video on TikTok.

Sometimes in order to create a particular emotional effect, you only need to place audio on part of a clip. Unfortunately, you will have to download a third-party editing tool to do this. To be fair, there are a lot more possibilities in such tools to change the original video and create something interesting.

How to add your own music to TikTok

Not always what you can find in the base of the application can match. Let’s figure out how to add your sound to TikTok.

• Open the TikTok app on your mobile device and make a video.
• Go to the step where the “Sounds” button appears on the screen. Tap on it.
• After that, click on the “Search” option and select “My sound” in the top right corner of the screen.
• A list of the audios that are on the device opens. Select any of them.
• Finally, complete the publication on TikTok.

Once you have completed these steps, you will be able to add your own music to TikTok.

How to create a sound on TikTok

If you want to create your own sounds to use in future TikTok videos, you can do so in the app:

• Then, post your TikTok by tapping “Post”.

• Tap “Add to Favorites” to use the sound later. Alternatively, tap “Use this sound” to create a new TikTok video with your custom sound.

How to create a voiceover on TikTok

• Finally, post your TikTok video.

Once you have completed these simple steps, you will create a voiceover to your TikTok video.

What are the TikTok music copyrights

There’s information online that the social network simply transfers funds to the rights holders. However, given the tracks that can be found here, it’s unlikely that everyone benefits.

The golden rule for YouTube bloggers to avoid getting a strike for copyright infringement is to post other people’s content for a maximum of 30 seconds. This is true for music that cannot be used for free.

Licensing varies, and global hits are usually strictly suppressed for posting without a fee or affiliate program. However, little-known artists sometimes pay to have their original sound heard by as many people as possible.

The vast majority of the tracks in TikTok are of this kind, and the music of major artists is only available as lives or shortcuts. So it’s no surprise that music can be added with impunity.
