Stable Audio

Stable Audio is Stability AI's generative audio platform, capable of creating music, sound effects, and audio clips up to three minutes long from text descriptions. It uses a diffusion-based model trained on a high-quality licensed music catalog, producing studio-quality audio with specific instrument, genre, tempo, and style control through detailed prompting. Music producers, game audio designers, film composers, and content creators use Stable Audio to generate stems, sound effects, and musical ideas that can be incorporated into professional productions. The quality is notably higher than first-generation AI music tools, and the model understands musical terminology -- users can specify BPM, key, time signature, and detailed genre descriptors. Stable Audio represents Stability AI's move into audio following its success with Stable Diffusion. The model was trained on a licensed dataset from AudioSparx, addressing copyright concerns that affect some competing tools. The platform offers both consumer access and an API for developers building audio generation into applications.
