ElevenLabs: Generating cinematic sound effects
ElevenLabsDemo summary
The user demonstrates generating a 'cinematic thud' by typing a description into the Sound Effects tool and reviewing the four generated audio options.
Step-by-step
- Navigate to the Sound Effects tool in ElevenLabs.
- Type a description of the desired sound into the 'Describe a sound' text box.
- Toggle the 'Loop' button if you want the ending to blend seamlessly into the beginning.
- Adjust the duration slider or leave it on 'Auto'.
- Click Generate to produce four audio options.
- Preview the generated clips and click the download icon or the heart icon to save to favorites.
Options
- Search existing sound effects by category (animals, brass, symbols, etc.) instead of generating new ones.
- Manually set a specific duration in seconds.
- Adjust the prompt adherence percentage slider.
- Access previously generated sounds via the History tab.
Watch out for
- Generating sound effects consumes credits from your account balance.
Tips
- Leave the duration on 'Auto' for most standard sound effects like thuds.
- Keep the prompt adherence at the recommended 30% for best results.
- If the first set of results isn't dramatic enough, keep generating until you find a version you like.
- Use the 'Favorites' feature for sounds you plan to use frequently to avoid searching through history.
