Stableaudio

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Stable Audio Open is Stability AI's open-weight text-to-audio model — generates 47-second clips of stereo audio at 44.1 kHz from text prompts. Specialized for sound effects, foley, and short musical samples (NOT full songs). High quality + permissive license make it the canonical open audio gen choice.

The audio equivalent of "Stable Diffusion for sound" — Stability AI's audio offering.

What it's for

  • Sound effects (foley) — footsteps, weather, ambient sounds
  • Short musical phrases — drum loops, melodies, samples
  • Soundscape design — atmospheres, environments
  • Game sound effects — UI sounds, ambient layers
  • Audio assets at scale — generate library of sounds for games/video
  • NOT for full songs — use MusicGen for that

Who it's for

  • Game developers generating sound effects libraries
  • Video editors needing foley for productions
  • Sound designers prototyping audio concepts
  • App developers generating UI sounds
  • Music producers creating sample libraries
  • Hosting providers offering audio gen tier

Why teams pick Stable Audio Open over alternatives

  • Stability AI Community License — commercial OK up to $1M revenue (then commercial license)
  • Sound effect specialization — better than MusicGen for foley/SFX
  • 44.1 kHz stereo — production-grade audio quality
  • 47 seconds max — longer than most open audio models
  • Active Stability AI development — frequent improvements
  • Trained on permissive data — fewer copyright concerns vs music-trained models

Integrations

  • Gradio web UI out of box
  • stable-audio-tools Python library for batch
  • HuggingFace gated download — accept license + HF_TOKEN required
