[@hphilsonphavwa6211]

Which one is the free music distributor

[@sad4u.485]

i wanted to know how to put a song in the middile of the video without making that song my own

[@annemarjorie]

Hi , thank you for sharing! When the music is indexed by tiktok , is the artist able to monetize the streamings?

How can I upload just an audio file I recorded of my music and use it as my music for a new video I'm creating?? or do I have to create a video of my audio first??? But how? It's something I had recorded years ago with several musicians. Thank you, Charles!

[@Emma-zv5ph]

Thanks for the tip NIKOLA JOKIC!

[@malungayesemusic]

This is really helpful thank you!

[@andreaponzano]

Great video! What about if I want to upload directly on tiktok before the relise date (just in order to create a bit of expectation before relise)? What happens after the actual relise and ufficial distribution on tiktok? Will there be twice the same on tiktok? One uploaded by me in advance and the other by the distributor? And how is that suoposed to be managed? Thank you

[@RandomButBeautiful]

exact same question here!! Also will streaming royalties be generated

[@Torrment]

I know this is super late to the punch, so apologies, I’m just doing some research before I start up my music Tiktok. Is it possible to add music later in the actual video? As in, regular voice-over, and then adding the sound toward the tail-end of the video?

[@chester8486]

Hmm, I'm looking for a specific scenario and it seems like no one is taking about it. So I want to add a specific song (let's say Imagine Dragons - Enemy, just as an example) but when I go to Tiktok, upload my video, then search for that specific song to go with my video, Tiktok is giving me only 1 minute of it BUT not the part that I want. When I create my video I'm editing it with a specific part of a song in mind. For example when I'm revealing something would be awesome to sync with a specific drop from the song. Now, I've noticed other tiktok'ers that ARE using the same song from Tiktok's library, but their video is perfectly synced with the music and the part they are using is not available in tiktok's library. This only means they have edited the video on their end with music included and they fully uploaded the video + the song. Normally, this will fall in the category of using your own music and on the bottom right corner your picture of a vinil should appear, but no, it shows up as official Imagine Dragons music. How are they doing that? It's really important for me to respect the guidelines but at the same time to create qualitative content. Lastly, videos that are using official tiktok music have more chance of getting discovered by the algorithm... If anyone can answer, would be highly appreciated!!!

[@stephansnow7777]

Thanks man. Is there a reason not to go with distro kid?

[@prodby.gissin]

Yo my guy, i suggest you to filter your voice source a bit. It sounds clicky and u can fix that very easily with some good plugin.

[@nstep1]

Thanks Charles great information

[@aprilburns9203]

My question is if I use a music distributor and set a release date can I go right away to use my sound? Do I have to wait 4 weeks? I'm impatient. I want to use my sound now but I want to go through the distributor. Can I do that? What's the wait for?

[@superkidclubandthislittlelight]

Awesome video, thanks! Can you advise please - once we upload a video with our sound, how do you set the song/sound to be available publicly?

[@CharlesCleyn]

you're welcome! it's available public right away once you upload. Here's some more info here: www.charlescleyn.com/blog/how-to-upload-music-to-tiktok

[@willmorgan6481]

Great video! I am a bedroom DJ who likes to make mixes for reels. Do the same rules apply as I purchase the music I mix? Also, will TikTok pay you for uploading your music?

[@superkidclubandthislittlelight]

I believe it only counts when people make videos using your sound, after a lot of uploads!

[@almedaabouzeide5996]

I can’t add music at all because Tictok say that’s for commercial use only

[@seal22977]

[@eunjoo2490]

Hi,thanks for usefull video, ut i can't find both app in android market,what should i do,plz show e path,thank you ahain😊

[@tydoworld4904]

Hey Charles thanks for the video. I have a question, would you say that a huge advantage with going the distributor route would be that if people on Tiktok see how viral a song is with trends that they could actually find the song easier than if the artists had their song / audio file uploaded through video from their camera roll? Like if I wanted to find the song on Tiktok and listen to the full version I couldn’t do that right ? Unless it’s actually in the index？If I went the first route (not using the music distributor) could I title the audio with the actual song name and my artist name? So when it’s used by other people they can know the full song and potentially find the full track on KZbin by searching . Thanks for reading hope you can help out !

[@officialdeamo]

very good question man, i want to know the same thing, because when i do it via the first method my vid gets a instant copyright claim due to me having it on all music digital platforms already, please help me get around this

Hello 👋, every one, this is a great information 👍Charles. I'm just starting mine.Hope my will do well.

[@Lizzybirds40]

The problem is content id with distribution. One minute they telling my friend some tracks can’t be accepted then others they are accepted and the all sounds are from the same packs. However it seems mainly to be vocals. So why is that you can use non exclusive drums, synths etc but not the vocals that came in the same pack?

[@chellealexisart]

Thank you! This video was perfect!

[@itsBROOK1E]

Question - my music was distributed through distrokid. I made a video with my song and it says I can’t promote it because the video contains “copyrighted music”. Other friends are having issues now. Idk if something changed in 2024

I keep trying this but it keeps muting my music for Copyright infringement.. I am the owner of the Copyright... Soooo. Now what do I do... Is it because I'm using a KZbin video ?

[@yukeemusic]

is there an option to upload it officially to TikTok before the official release date so that the official indexed sound can be used on promotion vids before the actual release?

to get that you just have to post a video acutally

Posted my own song to Tiktok and got copyrighted💀💅🏻

[@bardofely]

Hi Charles! TikTok confuses me. I have uploaded existing music videos of my songs and videos of live performances, I have performed live with newly made up songs, covers, as well as original songs and uploaded into my TikTok account, and the site has accepted them. I had come to think that the site allowed covers and that original music was welcome. But recently, a recent music video of mine, in which I have all the rights to the song and I had paid a filmmaker to create the video, I found the sound muted each time I tried sharing it on Tiktok. Just days ago I tried uploading an old music video of a spoken word by me and backing music by a friend collaboration, and again the sound was muted by Tiktok. This time I got a notice from TikTok saying it was a copyright violation. I don't get how I can be violating my own copyright and why other social media sites have no problems with these songs or videos. I am using Reverbnation as my distributor.

[@dopedrums]

I have the same issue, but I'm using DistroKid. I can't use my own music in my video already embedded in the video before uploading. It gets muted but I can (could) see the "original sound" source tho.. until today as it seems to be gone but I haven't pulled it. Super weird.

[@bardofely]

@@dopedrums it is crazy! Tiktok will not allow the music, which is definitely mine and contains no samples, so I have given up trying with songs of mine the site will not accept.

[@Timutubetv]

I can't have music in the background, or i get the copyright violation

[@itsyaboi3254]

But how do I even get my songs to pop up under my sounds ? I need help I got some songs I wanna put out there

What about if I want to do it uploaded but free copyright?

Thats' totally fine as long as it's copyright free though.
