Tips

Getting the most from ElevenLabs Music

From making the demos above.

  • Set the length to your edit, not the other way round.

  • Describe the ending: 'resolves on a held chord' avoids an abrupt stop.

  • For vocals in another language, name the language first.

  • If the mix is right but the melody isn't, try the same prompt on Ken Music.

  • Keep lyrics short for short tracks — a 30-second cue fits one chorus.
