Everything you need to know around adding music, choosing the right section of audio and recording voiceovers to your next TikTok video.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Music has always played an important role in short-form video sharing platform TikTok’s success. Merging with lip-syncing app Musical.ly in 2018, TikTok really blew up at the start of the pandemic, with all generations exploring the phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TikTok signed deals with all major labels, including Universal Music Group<\/a>, Warner Music Group and Sony Music, to license and bring their catalogues onto the platform. With RouteNote, you can upload your own music to TikTok for free and start generating revenue everytime someone uses your song.<\/a> Last year we published a guide on how to add sounds to your videos.<\/a> TikTok’s built-in sound editor allows you to trimming music to exactly the right part, an important tool to make sure your video is perfectly in sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos on TikTok are usually between 15 and 60 seconds, although TikTok recently starting rolling out three minute uploads to all users.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
