ElevenLabs previews its Generative Music AI

ElevenLabs shared complete 3-minute long songs, with vocals, made completely by AI using a single prompt and no edits. Netizens online praised the sound of voices and how well the music was added.
A lot is happening in the Generative AI world for creating music. We have seen new players coming with great products like Suno and Udio, Stablility AI introduced Stable Audio 2, and Adobe is also working on something similar, something called Music GenAI Control.
ElevenLabs is another AI company in the market that is working on the same niche. It specializes in developing natural-sounding speech synthesis and text-to-speech software using artificial intelligence. Many content creators use the platform to create lifelike and high-quality AI voiceovers for a wide array of projects.
Their products for voice generation are excellent in quality with many saying it’s better than hiring an actual person to dub for a role. ElevenLabs has a ton of beginner-friendly tools that make generating AI voices easier than ever.
They also allows users to effortlessly clone their own voice with just a 30-minute audio sample for optimal results. There’s also a text-to-speech API so users can seamlessly integrate Eleven Voices into their applications,
But now they are coming up with AI Music Generator. Here are some other examples they shared:
