Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Wednesday, September seventeenth, twenty twenty five. You're tuned to
the Blue Lightning AI Daily Podcast. I'm zan and yes,
this episode was assembled with AI. If a robot coughs
somewhere in the timeline, we keep it in. It's part
of the charm.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm Pippa.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
If the captions say pizza when I said pizzaz, blame
the machine. Today we're vibing on eleven Lab. Studio three
point zero, Big Upgrade Energy.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Big is Right. Studio three point zero turns eleven Labs
into a browser based all in one editor, audio and
video on a single timeline. Voiceovers, music, sound effects, captions,
even collaboration. It's designed to take you from idea to
finished media without app hopping.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
One one timeline to rule them all, My precious, what's
actually new new?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Because Eleven's always had great voices.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Three standouts. First, true video support inside studio, upload footage layer,
AI narration, add eleven music, drop AISFX and export from
one play. Second, automatic captioning with on timeline styling and
multi lingual subtitles. Third, and this is the killer speech correction.
You edit the text and it regenerates the line in
(01:10):
your own cloned voice, matching tone and pacing.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's the no more late night pickups in your closet feature,
change the script. The voice follows kind of descript vibes,
but with Eleven's voice.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Engine exactly and the voice engine matters. Eleven says, this
ship's alongside broader model improvements eleven V three pushing expressiveness
and language coverage. That's been their lane.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Okay, compare mode. Is this a game changer or just
catch up?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Because Descript, cap Cut, even Premiere have pieces of this story.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's consolidation with high end voices baked in descript pioneered
text first editing, Capcut nails quick video. Adobe's ecosystem is deep,
Eleven's angle is elite. TTS plus music plus SFX plus
captions plus reviews in one browser. Timeline for voice led media, podcasts, audiobooks, explainers.
I'd call it a step chain and.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The music bit eleven Music auto scores to mood, not
Suno or udio long form pop songs, but for underscoring
your video that's huge.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
No more licensing rabbit holes for simple beds.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Plus AI generated sound effects from prompts you can sketch
ambience and cues without leaving the project?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Who is this for daily YouTubers, podcasters, agencies with picky clients.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
All of the above If your workflow is right, voice, music, chaptions, feedback.
Studio three point zero is aimed at you. Audiobook producers
get consistent voices, Podcasters fix flubs without re records. YouTubers
get captions and multi language in one go. Agencies get
timestamped comments for approvals.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Multilingual is the sleeper hit if you're a creator trying
to hit Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese. This cuts the friction, and
captions on timeline means you can style them TikTok cute
without another tool.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Chef's kiss workflow impact. Cutting rerecords alone saves hours. Speech
correction is like built in ADR update wording, Titan phrasing
keep performance. For solo creators, you could shave a half
day off every episode.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And fewer round trips.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
No exporting wives, importing into your NL, realizing the music's
too busy, hopping back nah you live in one canvas?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Would it replace your stack? For voice first content? It
could replace your DAW, a TTS service, a music bedsite,
a captioning tool, and a review platform for heavy visual
edits color motion graphics. You'll still want premiere resolve or
final cut for finishing facts.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
If you're doing fancy transitions and a million layers, this
isn't your final stop. But if your superpower is the
story and the Voice Studio three point zero is like
having a producer in the browser.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Availability check. It's web based and broadly available now with
free and paid tiers. Free users can create, edit and
export a limited number of projects. Paid plans expand usage
and collaboration. That's per eleven Labs studio page.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
No weightless vibes, just hop in.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Probably best on desktop timelines on phones give me stress wrinkles.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Competitive field dscript is the closest parallel for text first
editing and overdub. Adobe's moving fast on captions and enhanced speech.
Capcut and VD are strong for social video. Eleven's edge
is the Voice Fidelity plus built in music and SFX
all natively integrated.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's giving Voice Studio meets Mini nl E and trend Wise,
we've been seeing the great consolidation tools merging steps into
single canvases. We talked about this on the blog with
all the one timeline updates lately This fits that.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Arc quick market signal. Reuter's reported Eleven Labs raised at
a three point three billion dollar valuation in January, and
a secondary sale this month placed them at six point
six billion. That's investor conviction that AI first media production
is a real category.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Translation money thinks your next podcast is made in the
browser and probably translated to five languages before lunch.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Pros and cons for creators pros speed, fewer rerecords, fewer subscriptions,
solid captions and multilingual centralized feedback.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Cons It's still a browser tool. Heavy video might chug
on weak machines, and it won't replace an NL for
complex picture edits. Also watch the free tier limits so
you don't hit a wall mid project.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And voice cloning ethics use your own voice or with consent.
Eleven Labs typically has safety checks and detection tools. Just
operate responsibly, especially for client work.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Let's talk specifics in use TikToker film on phone, dump
it in, auto captions, quick vio, pickup with speech correction,
throw in, woosh, SFX, vibe, appropriate music, export, vertical one
app done.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Podcaster record, rough takes, edit transcripts, text first, regenerate stumbles
in your own voice, drop music beds under segments, add
multilingual captions for clips, share a link to a client
for timestamped.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Notes, audiobook narrator, consistent character voices with emotion controls. Fix
pacing late in production without booking studio time.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's a budget saver.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Small production agency, share preview links, stakeholders. Leave comments at
exact timestamps, no more at twelve thirty seven ish. There's
a weird breath.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Filmmakers on set capture a line with room noise, use
voice isolation to clean it, or do a microadr with
speech correction. It's not replacing your post house, but it's
a safety net.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Let's hit the creative controls. You get expressive voice parameters,
voice isolation for noisy rooms, a voice changer for character tone,
and the AI script generator to brainstorm outlines right on
the timeline.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The script generator is clutch for beating the blank page.
Even if you rewrite it, you're starting closer to finished,
and since it's the same canvas, your script timing is
married to the.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Performance quality versus speed verse control. Studio three point zero
tries to give you all three for voice lead projects,
you won't get Da Vinci color or after effects compositing.
But for most creator workflows, you'll ship faster without sacrificing polish.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Price value, free tier to test the waters paid for
real throughput and collaboration. If you currently pay for transcripts, TTS,
stock music, SFX, and a review tool, consolidating could be
a net save.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Just run the math on your minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Exports, any deal breakers. I'd watch for export limits on
free project caps and potential rendering times on long video.
No watermark call outs here, but read the plan details
before committing to client deadlines benchmarks.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I haven't seen head to heads versus Descript's studio sound
or Adobe's enhances, but Eleven's voices, especially with V three,
are known for emotional range.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Real world tests will.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Be the proof meme This update for me.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
POV your timeline is now your producer or sorry, can't talk,
my text is doing ADR huh.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If you're wondering how we built today's episode, we actually
drafted segments, then used AI to rewrite transitions and sanity
check facts. Our captions occasionally think PIPA says pickleball, which
honestly track I.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Do say pickleball.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
A lot, last thing closed or open studio is a
closed product, but Eleven's models are accessible via API. Remember
they announced V three alpha in the API, so plugins
and integrations could bloom.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Bottom line, eleven Labs Studio three point zero is a
strong must try for podcasters, audiobook producers, YouTubers and agencies
doing voice first video. If you want fewer apps and
fewer re recordings, it's worth putting in your rotation.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And if you live on captions in multi language, this
is you. If you live in heavy VFX, keep your NL,
but maybe do your voice and music here and then.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Export sources for the curious. The Studio three point zero
product page outlines the unified timeline, speech correction, captions and collaboration,
and Reuter's covered eleven Labs three point three B funding
in January and the six point six B valuation from
this month's secondary sale.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Try it, break it, see where it fits in your stack,
and tell us if speech correction saved your Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (08:32):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
