JAKARTA - TikTok's parent company in China, ByteDance has made the first launch of its newest music editing application called Ripple for users in the United States (US) today.

Currently, the company is testing it in a closed beta environment. ByteDance claims the app can assist creators with the way a portable smart digital audio station (DAW) works, and is probably most useful for beginners.

Additionally, Ripple is also designed to make it easy for creators to add custom soundtracks to their short videos for TikTok and other platforms.

Called a virtual recording studio, Ripple allows users to record, cut, cut, and edit audio files easily on their mobile devices.

"Ripple is designed to inspire musical creativity and help musicians, artists and composers express themselves," ByteDance said in a statement.

The company notes that this app model is trained on music licensed or owned by ByteDance. The length of the song issued will be in accordance with the length of the song entered.

“We are excited to see how content creators are using Ripple to leverage their creativity to soundtrack their own short videos,” he added.

Furthermore, ByteDance also notified TechCrunch that they plan to add more mobile-friendly tools to help content creators with audio editing efficiency in the future.
