ElevenLabs drops Music v2 with inpainting, API price cuts

Music v2 elevates AI audio from simple prompt-to-song generation into a serious compositional tool by enabling precise structural control. The significant API price reduction paired with commercially safe licensing makes it an aggressive play for developer adoption.

• –Inpainting allows developers to isolate and regenerate specific sections (like a bridge) without altering the rest of the track
• –Section-by-section generation moves beyond short clips, letting users stitch together full, coherent compositions logically
• –The model handles extreme genre transitions within a single song and embeds non-musical sound effects seamlessly
• –Trained entirely on licensed data, ensuring enterprise and commercial use cases are free from sync fees or clearance delays
• –API costs dropped by up to 50%, making it significantly cheaper to integrate advanced audio generation into third-party apps
