TikTok is known for its dynamic and creative videos, often enhanced by background music and audio clips. While the platform allows users to easily add one sound from its vast music library, adding two different sounds requires a bit more creativity and editing. Whether you’re trying to blend a voiceover with music or mix two trending tracks, here’s how you can add two sounds on TikTok.
Step 1: Record or Upload Your First Video with the Primary Sound
Begin by either recording a new video or uploading one from your device. After capturing your video, go to the sound icon at the top of the screen and select your first audio. This will be the main sound your viewers will hear when the video plays. You can trim the audio to start at a particular point, depending on the mood or message you want to deliver.
Step 2: Save and Download the Video
Once you’ve added your primary sound, proceed to the posting screen. Instead of posting it, save the video to your device by making it private. This allows you to download the video with the first sound already embedded, which is essential for the next step.
Step 3: Upload the Saved Video and Add the Second Sound
Now that you have the video saved with the first sound, return to TikTok and start a new post. Upload the saved video from your gallery. Tap on the “Add sound” option at the top of the screen and choose the second audio you want to use. TikTok will now treat this as your main track, but the original sound will still be present in the background from the saved video.
Step 4: Adjust Sound Levels
After adding the second sound, tap the “Volume” button on the right-hand side. Here, you can balance the two audios by adjusting the “Original sound” and “Added sound” levels. For instance, if you want background music while keeping your voice clear, you can lower the volume of the added music and increase the volume of your original voice recording.
Step 5: Final Touches and Post
Once your sound levels are balanced and you’re satisfied with the mix, you can add captions, effects, or filters before posting. Review the video to ensure the sounds play harmoniously, then post it to your profile or save it for future sharing.
