FEATURE RELEASE: Sonic Search now supports TikTok links
Updated January 20, 2024
Need to recreate your favorite TikTok fast? Find a fully compliant soundalike IN SECONDS with Sonic Search.
Finding a song like a certain TikTok is now instant and hyper-accurate. Paste a TikTok link into Sonic Search to experience the future of soundalike searches. Our proprietary algorithm analyzes timbre, tempo, vocals, tonality, and more against every track in the library site, providing incredibly accurate matches in a matter of seconds.
In addition to TikTok links, Sonic Search can find matches from YouTube, SoundCloud, or from a local file. Just click the AI icon on the right end of the search bar, then either paste a link or drag-and-drop a file, hit enter, and voilá – your search results appear with the most sonically similar tracks at the very top!
SourceAudio’s Sonic Search tool is the fastest way to find soundalikes to your reference tracks. Better, more useful matches in less time than ever before. You can even leverage the Sonic Search tool with any track on a library site without any downloading or uploading. Just click the three-line icon on any track line listing > Similar Tracks (Sonic Search).
Sonic Search Tips and Tricks
Select only a specific segment of your tracks to reference in your Sonic Search – Simply adjust the beginning and end markers on your reference track after uploading, and you can narrow your search to the exact segment of your track you choose to reference.
Combine a Sonic Search with:
Metadata filters at the top of the left rail navigation tools
Additional search terms that comb every piece of metadata on every track for matches to each word of the search entry
Advanced field-specific or compound searches for pinpointing the exact data you’re looking for
Save your search results for later – Running a search you’ll need to come back to in the future? Click “Save This Search” just above your results to save the search on your user account. You can revisit these exact results any time by heading to your User Dashboard > Saved Searches and ensure that once you’ve dialed in the perfect search, you’ll never have to worry about losing it or starting over.
Available on any Catalog Manager site, Music Supervisor site, Network site, or via the powerful SourceAudio API.
