ElevenLabs Music when the track has to be as long as the spot
The ad is thirty seconds because thirty seconds is what you bought. Four of the engines here hand back whatever length they think is right and leave the rest to the edit. This one takes the length as a field on the request and ends the track, rather than fading it out mid-phrase.

What it is good for
- Thirty seconds, a minute, two or three
- Chosen in the composer, with nothing to trim in the edit. The model will go to ten minutes, but an advertiser has no use for that, so the composer does not offer it.
- The fastest of the five
- About twenty seconds for a thirty-second track, quicker than the engines that decide their own length. You are not trading pace for precision.
- It ends rather than fading
- Ask in the brief for a clean close and you get a chord instead of a fade. It is one of those things that makes an ad sound made rather than cut down.
When to pick something else
The only engine here billed by the minute rather than per track: two credits for every started minute, so thirty seconds and a full minute both cost two, and three minutes cost six. On short beds that is what everything else costs; on long material it is three times as much. It will not sing your words — there is no lyric sheet, and it reads structure from the brief — so a Polish jingle with a chorus is a job for MiniMax Music 2.6. It takes no mood picture either; only Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro do that.

The things this engine handles differently from the rest. The habits that hold for every model are collected separately, in the help centre.
- Choose it when the track has to be an exact length. This is the only music engine on the list that accepts 30, 60, 120 or 180 seconds and returns precisely that.
- Work out the cost per started minute, not per track. Thirty seconds and sixty cost the same two credits — so if you need a minute, order a minute.
- Say how the track should end. This engine can close on a chord rather than a fade, which under an advert is the difference between finished and cut short.
- Order a bed for a voiceover with the vocal switched off. There is a separate switch here, so it does not have to go in the brief.
- It will not sing a lyric and takes no photograph as a mood hint — MiniMax Music 2.6 is for words, and Lyria 3 or Lyria 3 Pro for music chosen to match a graphic.
