Stable Audio

Overview

Stable Audio is Stability AI's text-to-audio generation model creating high-quality music, sound effects, and ambient audio from text descriptions. It generates stereo audio at 44.1kHz with up to 95 seconds duration using diffusion models optimized for temporal audio data. Trained on over 800,000 audio files including music tracks, sound effects, and single instrument recordings, the model understands genre conventions, instrumentation, rhythm patterns, and audio production techniques. The system provides professional broadcast quality output suitable for commercial music production, game audio, film sound design, and content creation. With API access and commercial-friendly licensing, Stable Audio democratizes audio production capabilities previously requiring expensive sample libraries and professional sound designers, making it accessible to developers and creators worldwide for royalty-free music generation, sound effects creation, and atmospheric audio synthesis.
