ElevenLabs ships Music v2 and Dubbing v2
ElevenLabs had a strong week on the audio side. Music v2 brings section-by-section song generation with inpainting, so you can regenerate just the chorus instead of rolling the dice on a whole track. Dubbing v2 produces dubs that keep the original actor's performance across more than 90 languages, which matters if you are localizing a narrative game without re-recording everyone.
