What it does
Stable Audio creates music and sound effects from prompts and then lets you keep editing until the result fits. The site offers three ways in: a web app, a plugin for digital audio workstations, and an API platform. In the web app you work with conversational controls, edit through audio-to-audio and inpainting, and can generate and export stems, which the site marks as experimental. Output can run from a short loop to a six-minute composition, and you can swap out sections instead of regenerating the whole track. The plugin brings Stable Audio 3.0 into major DAWs including Ableton, Logic and Pro Tools, and is pitched for building sample libraries and song starters. The API platform is for adding generation to your own apps, with managed updates and scaling, low-latency inference and pay-per-generation billing with bulk discounts. Enterprise support with flexible deployment options is offered through the sales team.
