Music is often called the universal language of mankind. You can either agree or disagree, but one thing is for sure: music has the ability to change our mood. You could be feeling sad, but then you hear your favourite song, and suddenly you feel better. Music does make a difference, and that is why it is everywhere, in ads, films, YouTube intros, and meditation apps. ElevenLabs*, well-known as an AI voice generator for its realistic voice creation, has introduced Eleven Music.
What is Eleven Music all about?
Eleven Music is an AI music generator that allows anyone to make studio-quality songs for any moment, of any genre, style, vocals, or instrumental in minutes using simple text prompts. It even lets you tweak parts of the song, like editing a chorus or verse using prompts. It even supports multiple languages like English, Spanish, German, and Japanese.
Crucially, Eleven Music comes with commercial clearance. That's thanks to licensing deals with Merlin Network and Kobalt Music Group, so creators, from freelancers to indie filmmakers, can use the tracks in films, ads, games, social videos, podcasts, and more without legal worry. Plus, built‑in safeguards prevent the AI from mimicking known artists, using copyrighted lyrics, or generating hateful or violent content.
According to company docs, music is generated in MP3 format at studio quality (44.1 kHz), tracks range from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and both playlists and APIs are rolling out soon.
Top 3 features of Eleven Music that make it a game-changer:
- Text-to-Music: Being a prompt-based tool, you can generate a complete musical piece simply by describing it and letting the AI compose a track based on your input.
- Vocal and Instrumental Tracks: This AI music generator by ElevenLabs can generate both purely instrumental music and tracks with AI-generated vocals in different languages like English, Spanish, and Japanese.
- Fine Control: You aren't just stuck with the first thing the AI creates. The platform allows for section-by-section editing. You can generate an intro, then a verse, and fine-tune each part to build a complete song with seamless transitions.
We often see creators facing licensing and copyright issues. In such cases, if an AI tool can create the perfect track for your work, why not give it a try?
How to make perfect songs using Eleven Music:
I eagerly wanted to test this AI music generator, being an ElevenLabs user, and show how you can create your first song using it.
Step 1: Visit ElevenLabs' website*. Click on the platforms option at the top and then select the Music option.
- Scroll down a bit and click on Get Started. You'll need to sign up for ElevenLabs if you haven't already.
Step 2: If you are new to ElevenLabs, you will be asked a few quick questions to optimize your experience.
Step 3: Once you are in, you can get started immediately with your 10,000 free credits.
For my song, I went for the following setting:
- 2 variants
- 30 seconds
- Prompt: A fun UK drill rap song to help increase work productivity
Step 4: Eleven Music will generate songs for you fast. As I generated two variants, I could choose from two. I personally like the chorus on the second one.
Step 5: You can edit the song using a text prompt. As I loved the chorus on the second variant, I wanted the verse to be similar to that to match the vibe.
- I am happy I decided to edit the verse, and this time I liked the first verse of the first variant of the edited version.
If you are happy, just like me. You can either download or share the Eleven Music-generated song.
In Conclusion:
ElevenLabs* was already a capable AI voice generator, but by adding this new AI music generation ability, it has only gotten better. I wouldn't say it's perfect, and it has to compete against Suno AI and Udio, which have been in the game for quite some time now and are very capable. I would say it is a solid AI music generator that makes studio-quality music production accessible for everyone. Eleven Music allows everyone to make perfect songs for any moment.
