How to create your own audio on TikTok.

Have you ever noticed the little spinning record at the bottom of a TikTok video?

That function informs users which sound is played in the video. Because of the way TikTok works, users can use audio from other TikTok videos on their own videos. So that little section actually provides a lot of useful information.

TikTok sounds can trend and go viral just like challenges, effects, and filters. Take Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," for example, or the dozens of viral sounds turned into memes circulating on the app right now.

While there are plenty of sounds out there for you to choose from on TikTok, you can also make your own. Let's check out how.

1. Start off by tapping the create button on the bottom of the screen to make a new video.

2. Record a video with your sound on (the audio from the video will end up being your custom sound.)

Maybe record your own cover of a song you like. Play a tune on an instrument. Record yourself talking. Make a weird voice. Whatever your heart desires.

3. When you're done, tap the red check to continue.

4. Use the bottom and right-side panels on the next screen to edit your audio. Use voice effects, add voiceover, or adjust the speed of your clip.

8. Want to use it in another video? Tap the spinning record on the bottom right.

Your sound will now have its own page! You can add it to your favorites, see other videos that have used it, and edit the title of it.

9. Tap "Use this sound" at the bottom.

Your original audio has its own page. Tap "Use this sound" to use it in a new video!

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
