ElevenLabs Lets Users Publish AI Music Directly to SoundCloud

What Is New

Audio AI company ElevenLabs said on Thursday, 5 November 2026, that users will be able to publish AI-generated music made with its ElevenMusic platform directly on SoundCloud [2]. Before this, users had to export and download their outputs from ElevenLabs and then upload them to SoundCloud. The Verge describes the new option as already working, saying users can now publish directly, while TechCrunch reports the step as something users will be able to do [1, 2].

The change follows SoundCloud’s earlier partnership with the AI music tooling company Moises, which lets artists export and import songs to and from SoundCloud [2]. The Verge says the ElevenLabs integration is not as deep as the Moises one. The Moises integration lets users pull tracks from SoundCloud into Moises for stem separation and remixing, then republish them to SoundCloud [1]. SoundCloud also has integrations with other platforms, including Google Flow Music and the remix platform Hook [2].

As part of the partnership, SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers receive three months of ElevenMusic Pro for free [1, 2]. According to TechCrunch, ElevenMusic Pro lets users generate up to 1,000 songs, split stem files 500 times, and use five custom styles or vocals per month [2].

ElevenLabs first released a music-generation model in 2025. In April 2026 it launched a consumer app that generates songs from prompts. A month later it released a new music model that can switch genres mid-track and handle more complex vocals [2]. The company said users have so far created over 25 million tracks with its models [2].

SoundCloud’s CEO, Eliah Seton, said in a statement that SoundCloud is the first platform to bring ElevenMusic creations directly to fans beyond its own ecosystem [2].

Limits, Privacy and Academic Integrity

Songs published from ElevenLabs directly to SoundCloud will be labeled as such, making their AI origins clear [1]. The Verge reports that SoundCloud “encourages” users subject to EU rules to label tracks as “AI-generated or manipulated”, and that the platform has rules against impersonation [1].

The Verge also notes that SoundCloud has partnered with several generative AI music platforms, and that it has avoided high-profile press releases about how many spammy AI songs it has removed or demonetized [1].

TechCrunch reports that ElevenLabs has a partnership with Spotify, under which authors can use ElevenLabs audio models to generate narrations for audiobooks and publish them on Spotify. Spotify has signed partnerships with labels for AI remixing products but has not yet announced any model partners like ElevenLabs [2].

The sources do not describe how the free ElevenMusic Pro period will be priced after the three months, or give details about data handling for the publishing feature.
