Phone mic audio sounds quiet, raw, or has dead air
TikTok-ready audio has to land in the first second and stay loud. That means trimming dead air, normalizing levels so you don't get drowned out by the next video in the feed, and picking a format that uploads fast. Most creators need a quick browser pass to clean up phone-mic audio before posting. Not a full DAW workflow.

TikTok Creators FAQ
What audio specs does TikTok use?
TikTok re-encodes everything to AAC at around 128 kbps. Upload an MP3 or WAV at any reasonable bitrate; TikTok will handle the conversion. The bigger lever is getting your loudness consistent. Quiet videos lose retention to the algorithm.
Should I trim or fade my audio?
TikTok cuts off dead air at the start, so trim aggressively. A 100-200 ms fade-in prevents pops; longer fades waste your hook window. Pre-process before uploading for cleaner results than TikTok's auto-edit.
