Music Visualizer

The first new addition is the Music Visualizer, which provides an animated background that responds to the rhythm of the music track.

According to TikTok: "The effect triggers real-time beat tracking to bring an unusual retro landscape with a green screen to life that will move right in time to the beat of your favorite space song (or any song from our sound library)." So you can record your movement across this digital landscape with sounds that make mountains rise and fall in time.

Music machine

TikTok is also adding a new option called "Music Machine" that "will allow creators to create music from various drum beats and other sounds while recording a video."

The Music Machine will provide an interactive set of on-screen instruments while recording, and users will be able to create entirely new tracks from sounds.

œThe Music Machine also has a BPM slider that lets you adjust BPM in real time while maintaining timbre and pitch. There are five one-shot sound effects and dynamic visual responses that synchronize the visuals of your video with the music you create. "
