Direct AI Publishing Integration
SoundCloud has introduced an integration with the ElevenLabs generative AI platform. Users can now publish music directly from ElevenLabs to their SoundCloud profiles, bypassing the need to export and manually upload files. As part of the partnership, SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers are eligible for a three-month trial of ElevenMusic Pro. All tracks published through this integration will be automatically labeled to identify their AI origin.
SoundCloud and ElevenLabs Partnership
This collaboration marks the latest move by SoundCloud to integrate generative AI services into its ecosystem.
Comparison with Existing Tools
The new ElevenLabs integration functions differently than the platform's existing partnership with Moises. While the Moises integration allows for stem separation and remixing of tracks pulled directly from SoundCloud, the ElevenLabs feature is currently focused on the direct publishing of AI-generated compositions.
Platform Stance on AI
SoundCloud has maintained a distinct approach to AI-generated content compared to other streaming services. The platform mandates that users comply with EU regulations by labeling tracks as AI-generated or manipulated and maintains policies against impersonation. Despite these requirements, the company continues to form partnerships with various AI music services rather than focusing on mass removal or demonetization of AI-generated content.
