Building a sound-effect usage map for voiceover, score, and podcast scenarios
Using the text-to-sound-effect capability of elevenlabs/sound-effects-v2, create an auditory demo in the style of a "usage map": string together the most commonly used type of sound effect for each of the three scenarios—voiceover, score, and podcast (UI notification tones, ambient beds, and intro transitions)—into one continuous auditory flow. Creative approach: a single sound effect is no longer than 22 seconds, so rather than pursuing long-form narrative, use short, distinctive sound effects to carry the function of a "scene marker"—hearing a rising synthesized notification tone brings to mind product-demo voiceover, while hearing a low-frequency bed immediately signals a podcast background. Write the prompt as a description of the sound source, sense of space, and dynamics as much as possible, and use prompt_influence to control how closely the result adheres, so that the output is both recognizable and retains the model's own timbral variation. This is suitable for quickly building an intuition for "sound-effect selection" during video/podcast post-production, product demos, and audio prototyping by developers, and can also serve as a parameter reference for sound-effect generation.

Prompt
A short, clean UI notification sound effect: bright synthesized marimba timbre, soft attack, rapidly rising pitch, with a slight reverb tail, no background music, studio-grade purity, suitable as a UI notification tone in product-demo narration.
Copy the full prompt and adapt it for your own generation.
