1.1 Workflow description

Title
Create custom ASMR sound effects with ElevenLabs API and Google Drive
Workflow name
Create custom ASMR sound effects with ElevenLabs API and Google Drive

Generate royalty-free sound effects for all your projects: ASMR, YouTube videos, podcasts, and more. This workflow generates unique AI-powered sound effects using the ElevenLabs Sound Effects API.

Enter a text description of the sound you envision, and the workflow will generate it, save the MP3 file to your Google Drive, and instantly provide a link to listen to your creation.

It is a powerful tool for quickly producing unique ASMR triggers, ambient sounds, or specific audio textures without any complex software.

Who's it for

This template is ideal for:

  • Content Creators: Generate royalty-free sound effects for videos, podcasts, and games on the fly.
  • Sound Designers & Foley Artists: Quickly prototype and generate specific audio clips for projects from a simple text prompt.
  • Developers & Hobbyists: Integrate AI sound effect generation into projects or simply experiment with the capabilities of the ElevenLabs API.

How to set up

  1. Configure API Key:
    • Sign up for an ElevenLabs account and get your API key.
    • In the "ElevenLabs API" node, create new credentials and add your ElevenLabs API key.
  2. Connect Google Drive:
    • Select the "Upload mp3" node.
    • Create new credentials to connect your Google Drive account.
  3. Activate the Workflow:
    • Save and activate the workflow.
    • Use the Form Trigger's production URL to access the AI ASMR Sound Generator web form.

Requirements

How to customize this workflow

  • Change Storage: Replace the Google Drive node with another storage service node like Dropbox, AWS S3, or an FTP server to save your sound effects elsewhere.
  • Modify Sound Parameters: In the "elevenlabs_api" node, you can adjust the JSON body to control the output. Key parameters include:
    • loop (boolean, optional, default: false): Creates a sound effect that loops smoothly. Note: Only available for the ‘eleven_text_to_sound_v2’ model.
    • duration_seconds (number, optional, default: auto): Sets the sound's duration in seconds (from 0.5 to 30). If not set, the AI guesses the optimal duration from the prompt.
    • prompt_influence (number, optional, default: 0.3): A value between 0 and 1 that controls how strictly the generation follows the prompt. Higher values result in less variation.
  • Customize Confirmation Page: Edit the "prepare reponse" node to change the design and text of the final page shown to the user.
