Create Tiktok Sound: Here’s how

If you want to add a personal touch to your videos, you can create your own sound in TikTok.

TikTok: How to create your own sound

If you want to add your own sound to your TikTok video, you can do this directly in the app. To do this, follow the steps below:

• First open TikTok and click the button with the “+” to create a video.

• Now tap the record button. Then press “V”. This will take you to the next page.

• On the right side you can now add filters, voice-over and speech effects as you wish.

• Using the “Synthesised Voice” function, you can add more mood to the spoken word.

• Post the video to your profile.

• There is a rotating plate at the bottom of the screen. Tap on this icon.

• Next, rename the sound so other users can search for it.

• Finally, save the sound under your favourites. This way you can find it again later and use it.

Tiktok: music copyrights

TikTok music copyrights are a complex issue that concerns many users of the platform. Information is circulating on the net that TikTok is simply transferring money to the rights holders. However, it is unlikely that everyone will benefit.

• Similar to YouTube bloggers, the golden rule is to avoid copyright infringement penalties by using others’ content for a maximum of 30 seconds. Also keep this in mind for music that is not available to you for free.

• The licensing of music on TikTok varies and the use of world hits is usually strictly controlled. Unless there are fees or partnership programmes involved. Lesser-known artists sometimes pay to have their original sound heard by as many people as possible.

• The majority of tracks available on TikTok are by lesser known artists. The music of major artists is only available in the form of live performances or abridged versions. So it’s no surprise that music on TikTok can often be added without consequence.
