# Create speech, music or sound with Audio Generator > Use the Nodespell Audio Generator Creative Tool to make speech, music or sound effects from a prompt, with every audio model in one picker. Source: https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/audio-generator/ · Last updated: 2026-11-10 Audio Generator is the Nodespell Creative Tool that brings every audio-making model into one place. It lists speech, music and sound-effect models together, so you can make a voiceover, a song or a sound effect from a prompt without first deciding which focused tool to open. The model you pick decides what kind of audio you get. ## Audio Generator or a focused audio tool? Audio Generator is the umbrella. The three focused tools each show only one kind of model, which makes the picker shorter. | You want… | Use | | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | To browse all audio models, or you are not sure which kind you need | **Audio Generator** | | Spoken words from a script | [Voice Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/voice-generator/) | | A song, score or instrumental | [Music Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/music-generator/) | | A sound effect or ambience | [Sound Effects Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/sound-effects-generator/) | | A face that speaks | [Speak](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/speak/) (makes video, not audio) | The same model gives the same result in Audio Generator and in its focused tool. Only the list of models differs. ## Generate audio 1. Switch the workspace to **Create** and select **Audio Generator** in the tool rail. Audio Generator has its own rail button. 2. Check the model. The default is **ElevenLabs TTS V3**, a text-to-speech model. 3. To make music or sound effects instead, open the model picker and choose a music or sound-effect model. 4. Fill in the prompt or text field the model shows, plus any voice, style or format settings. 5. Set **Generations** from 1 to 4. 6. Select **Generate**. You can also switch to Voice Generator, Music Generator or Sound Effects Generator from the tool switcher at the top of the form. ## Audio Generator controls | Control | What it does | Options and defaults | | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Tool switcher (title) | Moves to another audio Creative Tool | Audio Generator, Voice Generator, Music Generator, Sound Effects Generator | | Model picker | Chooses any eligible speech, music or sound-effect model | Default: ElevenLabs TTS V3 | | **Previous model** / **Next model** | Steps through all eligible audio models | — | | **More settings** | Less-used model settings | Collapsed | | **Generations** | Number of runs submitted together | 1 to 4, default 1 | | **Generate** | Adds or updates the model node and submits the runs | Shows the credit estimate | ## Recommended models for Audio Generator The **Featured** collection lists, in order: | Model | Kind | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | ElevenLabs TTS V3 (default) | Speech | | Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS | Speech, including multi-speaker scripts | | Google Lyria 3 Pro | Music, full songs | | Minimax Music 2.6 | Music, with optional lyrics or instrumental | | Google Lyria 3 | Music, 30-second clips | **All models** also lists sound-effect models such as ElevenLabs Sound Effects V2 and MMAudio V2, and further speech and music models. See [Choose a model](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/choose-a-model/). ## What changes with the model? Because Audio Generator mixes three kinds of model, the form changes more than in any other tool when you switch. - **Speech models** show a text field and voice settings, such as **Voice**, **Speed** and **Stability** on ElevenLabs TTS V3. - **Music models** show a description prompt, and some add lyrics, an instrumental switch, or images for inspiration. - **Sound-effect models** show a description and, on some models, a duration or loop option. - **Output format** varies: some models let you choose MP3, WAV or other formats, others return one fixed format. The focused tool pages describe each kind in detail: [Voice Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/voice-generator/), [Music Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/music-generator/) and [Sound Effects Generator](https://docs.nodespell.com/creative-tools/sound-effects-generator/). ## Where does the audio go? **Generate** places the model node in the current graph level and runs it. Finished audio appears in **Results** in the Create form, where you can play it and step through older and newer results; the node keeps the full history, described in [Takes](https://docs.nodespell.com/graph/takes/). Generated audio also appears under **Generated** and **Audio** in the [Asset Manager](https://docs.nodespell.com/assets/asset-manager/). To place it under a picture, use the [Timeline](https://docs.nodespell.com/edit/timeline/). ## Common problems - **The result is speech when you wanted music.** The default model is a speech model. Choose a music model in the picker, or open Music Generator. - **"This value is required."** The model's prompt or text field is empty. - **The prompt field says "Prompt controlled by an input node".** A connected node supplies the text. Edit that node or select **Disconnect**. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between Audio Generator and Voice Generator? Audio Generator lists every speech, music and sound-effect model. Voice Generator lists only speech models, so its picker is shorter; the models behave the same in both. ### What is the default Audio Generator model? The default is ElevenLabs TTS V3, a text-to-speech model. Choose a music or sound-effect model in the picker for other kinds of audio. ### Can Audio Generator make audio from a video? Some models can. MMAudio V2 accepts an optional video for video-to-audio generation, and Sonilo V1.1 Video to Music makes music from a video. ### How do I add the audio to a video? Place both in the [Timeline](https://docs.nodespell.com/edit/timeline/).
