**Quick answer:** use [ElevenLabs SFX](/models/elevenlabs-sfx) for sound effects from a text prompt, [MMAudio](/models/mmaudio) or [Mirelo SFX](/models/mirelo-sfx) to add Foley that follows the action in a silent AI video, [ElevenLabs TTS](/models/elevenlabs-tts) for expressive voiceover, [F5 TTS](/models/f5-tts) to clone a voice from a short sample, and [MiniMax Music](/models/minimax-music) to write a song over the style of a reference track. Most AI video still arrives silent, so the sound pass is where a clip starts to feel finished.

## Sound effects from a prompt: ElevenLabs SFX

[ElevenLabs sound effects](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/sound-effects) turn a description into Foley, impacts, UI cues, risers and room tone. In Fuser you can set a duration from 0.5 to 22 seconds. Describe the material, the action and the space. The effect on the canvas above came from one sentence: a ceramic vase set down on a stone plinth, a soft hollow clink, then a faint ring. It is the wrong tool for full songs or intelligible dialogue.

## Sound for silent video: MMAudio and Mirelo

When you already have the clip, let the model watch it. [MMAudio](https://hkchengrex.github.io/MMAudio) analyses the motion and generates synchronised effects and ambience; in Fuser it returns the video with the new track, from 1 to 30 seconds. For longer shots, split the clip into short segments, because sync drifts on long inputs. It also has a text-to-audio mode when there is no video. [Mirelo SFX](https://mirelo.ai/) is built for the same job on commercial cuts, trailers and social video, handles up to 60 seconds and accepts an optional prompt to steer the sound. Neither generates music or speech.

## Voiceover: ElevenLabs v3 and F5-TTS

[ElevenLabs v3](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/text-to-speech) is the choice for expressive narration and character dialogue. Audio tags such as [calm] or [short pause] direct the performance inside the script, as in the voiceover above. Split long scripts into sections to keep the voice consistent.

[F5-TTS](https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS) clones a voice from a clean reference clip of around ten seconds, including across languages. Adding the reference transcript speeds up generation. Keep each line under about 30 seconds, and do not expect it to invent crying or shouting that is not in the sample.

## Songs: MiniMax Music

Fuser's [MiniMax Music](https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/minimax-music) node takes lyrics (up to 600 characters) and a reference song longer than 15 seconds with vocals and music, and returns a new song in that style. It suits demos, genre flips and campaign jingles. It is not a text-only music generator and is not built for instrumentals, so bring a reference track you have the right to use.

## Put sound in the same workflow as the picture

In Fuser, keep the audio nodes next to the image and video steps they belong to. Generate a still, animate it, then send the clip to MMAudio or Mirelo and your script to ElevenLabs, so a new cut picks up fresh sound without re-exporting anything. See the full [multi-model workflow](/articles/chain-ai-models-workflow), and save the graph as a [Recipe](/features/recipes) to reuse it for every edit.

Match what you are starting from to the right node.

### Effects and Foley

| Model | Reach for it when | Watch out for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ElevenLabs SFX | Effects from a text prompt, 0.5 to 22 seconds. | Not for songs or speech. |
| MMAudio | Synced effects for a silent clip, 1 to 30 seconds. | Sync drifts on long clips; no music or speech. |
| Mirelo SFX | Foley for commercial cuts and social video, up to 60 seconds. | Effects only; no score or dialogue. |

### Voice and music

| Model | Reach for it when | Watch out for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ElevenLabs TTS (v3) | Expressive narration directed with audio tags. | Split long scripts to avoid drift. |
| F5 TTS | Cloning a voice from a clean ~10-second sample. | Keep lines under ~30 seconds. |
| MiniMax Music | Songs from lyrics plus a 15-second-plus reference track. | Needs a reference with vocals; not for instrumentals. |

## Questions, answered.

### What is the best AI sound effect generator?

ElevenLabs SFX is the strongest choice when you start from a text description. If you already have a silent video, MMAudio or Mirelo SFX generate effects that follow the action on screen.

### How do I add sound to an AI-generated video?

Send the clip to a video-to-audio model such as MMAudio or Mirelo SFX. They analyse the motion and return the video with a synchronised effects track. Split long clips into short segments for tighter sync.

### Can AI generate a full song?

Yes, with limits. Fuser's MiniMax Music node writes a song from your lyrics in the style of a reference track longer than 15 seconds. It is not designed for instrumentals or for text-only prompts.

### Which AI voice generator sounds most natural?

ElevenLabs v3 is built for expressive, directed performances using audio tags. F5-TTS is the better fit when you need to clone a specific voice from a short sample.

### Can I use several audio models in one project?

Yes. In Fuser, connect a script to a voice node, a clip to a video-to-audio node and a prompt to a sound effect node on the same canvas, then swap or rerun any of them.

## Give every clip a finished sound.

Generate effects, voice and music next to your images and video, then reuse the workflow.
