Music v2.5
Full songs from a text prompt, vocals included. I feed it prompts from my own Prompt Generator, so every generation starts from a real musical brief instead of a vague vibe.

How I use ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is the sound half of my AI stack: songs, voices, and sound effects. Here’s what each part does, where it fits in a real production, and where it still falls short.

What it does
The parts I actually use
Text to speech
Narration for videos, intros and promos. Pick a voice, paste a script, and it reads with natural pacing. No booth, no retakes.
Voice design
Describe the voice you want, or clone your own, so a whole series keeps one consistent narrator.
Sound effects
Risers, impacts, whooshes and foley from a prompt. Faster than digging through sample folders when a transition needs something specific.
My workflow
Where it fits in a real production
Start with a human brief
Key, tempo, mood and a reference track, written down before anything is generated.
Generate in Music v2.5
Run several takes of the same prompt and keep the strongest section, not the whole song.
Finish it in the DAW
Rebuild drums and bass around it, arrange and mix in Studio Pro. AI gives you the sketch; the record still gets finished by hand.
Add voice and sound design
Narration, tags and transitions from ElevenLabs voices and sound effects.
Hand it to picture
The finished track goes to Higgsfield for the music video. See that half →
Honest take
Where it shines, where it doesn’t
Use it for
Speed on voice work. Narration that used to take a session takes minutes.
Sound effects on demand. Specific, clean, and ready to drop on a timeline.
Song sketches. A fast way to hear an idea before committing studio time to it.
Watch out for
Generic output from lazy prompts. Like every AI music tool, a vague prompt gives a vague song. The fix is a real brief.
Licensing changes. Check your current plan’s commercial-use terms before you release anything.
Watch the tests
On tape.
