Click the &#8220;+&#8221; icon on the bottom center of the screen. Select &#8220;Add Sound.&#8221; Now, drag the slider to select a specific part of the sound, and then tap the red checkmark icon. Your sound will now be perfectly trimmed and ready for recording!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CapCut\"><\/span>CapCut<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use CapCut on tiktok to cut out background sounds, such as music or sound effects. Once you&#8217;ve added your video to the app, you&#8217;ll have four options for adding additional audio. These options include music, sound effects, video clips from your camera roll, and voiceover recording. You can also download your own music or sound effects. Once you&#8217;ve added the audio, you can preview it to make sure it matches your video.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting the audio file, you can apply a desired effect. In addition to trimming, you can also rearrange and split audio clips. To do so, open the project you&#8217;re working on and move the cursor to where you&#8217;d like to place the audio clip. Tap on Split at the bottom of the screen. Then tap Rearrange and Split to rearrange the audio clips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_sound\"><\/span>Adding a sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you start recording your video on TikTok, you may want to add a sound. This is useful for better synchronization with voiceovers and music. You can add a sound on your TikTok page later, but it is best to add it before you start recording. Here are the steps to do so. You can also add effects, filters, stickers, and text.<\/p>\n<p>First, open the TikTok app. Once you&#8217;ve downloaded the app, click &#8220;record video.&#8221; In the recording window, long-press the &#8220;Record&#8221; button while you&#8217;re talking into the microphone. Uncheck the option to keep the original sound. Then, you can preview your video. If you have a good microphone, you can try recording in a quiet room.<\/p>\n<p>You can also search for popular songs, sounds, and playlists on the Discover Page. The algorithm on TikTok determines which songs are trending based on user behavior, likes and dislikes. After finding the song you like, simply drag it to the corresponding part of the sound and tap the checkmark to start recording. If you have a great song in mind, add it to your video and make it more memorable!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trimming_a_sound_in_the_editor\"><\/span>Trimming a sound in the editor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before posting your videos on TikTok, you may want to consider trimming your sound to make it shorter. A TikTok sound can be as long as one minute or as short as five seconds. You can also select a starting point and trim it in the editor. However, you can&#8217;t edit your sound after it&#8217;s already been recorded. To make this process easier, we&#8217;ve provided a guide below.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find the MP3 cutter tool, which will let you bridge two sections of a song. You can find it on the homepage under the MP3 Cutter feature. Then, crop out the portion of the sound that you want to cut. Make sure that the clipped portion is within the inward-pointing arrows of the soundwave bar. Once you&#8217;ve selected the area to trim, click the Start and Stop buttons to confirm.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_sound_before_recording\"><\/span>Adding a sound before recording<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create a better video, you should always add a sound to your TikTok video. There are many audio clips and effects available to use. You can choose from the &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; chant, a popular movie clip, or a TV show scene. If you&#8217;re unsure of what sound to add, try exploring the options available. Adding an audio clip to your video is simple, and it will help make your TikTok more shareable.<\/p>\n<p>You can add a sound to your video before or after you&#8217;ve recorded it. Adding a sound before recording is a great way to create a better sync between your voiceover or music. You can also trim the sound by dragging a portion of the music track. After you&#8217;ve chosen the sound, hit &#8220;Done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dHSv0FOkD9Y\" height=\"272\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"486\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Trim a Sound on TikTok Before Recording To learn how to trim a sound on TikTok before recording, first open the TikTok app on your iOS device.
