What Does It Mean To Change Tiktok Video Volume
First, you might be wondering why you would want to adjust the volume of the video in the first place You can directly adjust the sound of your device and turn down the volume. However, this guide is for a different purpose. Unlike taking down your device volume to adjust the sound of everything, changing the sound of the video in Tiktok is different.
When you adjust the volume of the Tiktok video, it means you are adjusting the volume of the sounds within the video. So, if you put your original sound to very low then that will be set as the benchmark of the sound that will play in someone else’s device.
Original Sound And Soundtrack Sound
There are two different sounds that can be in a Tiktok video. The two options are original sound and soundtrack sound. Let us look further into the basic difference between the two.
The first option which is the original sound is the original sound of the video that you record. So, when you first record the video and add it to the edit page, the actual sound you recorded will be the original sound. This may include the background sound you chose or just your singing or anything else that is from when you actually shot the video.
The next is soundtrack sound. As you may be well aware, Tiktok lets you add music to your videos after you record them. Moreover, you get to add music to the video while you are recording it too. So, the soundtrack sound is of the music that you add to your Tiktok video.
As a creator, you can adjust the sound of both the original sound and soundtrack music in your Tiktok video.
