After partnering with Moises earlier this year, SoundCloud is now adding integration with another AI music platform, ElevenLabs. Now, rather than having to export and download your outputs from ElevenLabs and then upload them to SoundCloud, you can publish them directly. As part of the partnership, SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers are also getting three months of ElevenMusic Pro for free, so they can experiment with generative AI and potentially alienate their fans . Songs published from ElevenLabs directly to SoundCloud will be labeled as such, making clear their AI origins.
More from the original report
The integration between SoundCloud and ElevenLabs isn’t as deep as the Moises integration. That lets users pull tracks from SoundCloud into Moises for stem separation and remixing, then republish them directly to SoundCloud.
In general, SoundCloud has seemed more willing to embrace AI-generated music than other streaming services. While it “ encourages ” users subject to EU rules to label tracks as “AI-generated or manipulated” and has rules against impersonation, it’s also partnered with multiple generative AI music platforms. SoundCloud has also avoided the loud-and-proud press releases detailing how many spammy AI songs it’s removed from its platform, or bragging about demonetizing them .
