Made with this app
How it works
Stable Audio turns a plain text description into a royalty-free music clip between 5 and 30 seconds long. It is built for content creators, podcasters, advertisers and video producers who need quick, original background music without licensing headaches. Because the model accepts genre, mood, tempo and instrumentation details as natural language, you can dial in exactly the sonic texture your project needs without any music production experience.

What you can make
Podcast Intro Beds
A 10 to 20 second loop sets the tone before your host begins speaking. Describe the genre and mood you want, and Stable Audio produces a clean bed you can fade under your opening. No royalty claims, no awkward music library attribution required.
Short-Form Video Backgrounds
Reels, TikTok clips and YouTube Shorts typically run under 30 seconds, which fits perfectly within the model's output range. Generate a track that matches the energy of your footage without worrying about a platform muting your content for copyright violations.
Advertisement Sound Design
Radio spots and digital ad pre-rolls need tight, punchy music that does not overstay its welcome. Describe a specific tempo or instrumentation, get a clip in seconds, and iterate until the energy matches your brand's voice.
Game UI and Menu Screens
Menu music and ambient loops for indie games need to be brief, loopable and genre-specific. Stable Audio can generate atmospheric or chiptune clips from a single descriptive prompt, giving solo developers a fast path to original audio assets.
Presentation and Slide Deck Ambience
A subtle background track during a product demo or conference presentation adds polish without distracting from your content. Generate a soft, low-key clip that matches the professional tone of your slides and use it freely in any venue.

Tips for better results
Describe Mood Before Genre
Lead your prompt with an emotional descriptor such as tense, uplifting or melancholic before naming a genre. Stable Audio responds well to emotional context and uses the genre label to shape instrumentation rather than override the atmosphere you set.
Specify Instrumentation Explicitly
Vague prompts produce generic results. Naming specific instruments, for example acoustic piano, fretless bass or string quartet, gives the model concrete targets and reduces the chance of unwanted electronic or synthetic timbres appearing in an organic-sounding track.
Match Duration to Your Edit
The output range is 5 to 30 seconds, so decide your target length before generating. A clip matched to your cut point saves you from fading out mid-phrase. If you need a loop, generate at a length that ends naturally on a beat or phrase boundary.
Iterate With Small Prompt Edits
If the first result is close but not quite right, change a single element in your prompt rather than rewriting everything. Swapping one descriptor at a time, such as changing fast to moderate tempo, lets you trace exactly which word shifted the output in the direction you wanted.
When to choose this app
No sibling apps are listed for this category, so the relevant comparison is between Stable Audio and sourcing music elsewhere. Stock music libraries require subscription fees and attribution checks, and many flag uploaded content on social platforms. Stable Audio generates original clips from scratch on demand, meaning every output is unique to your prompt and royalty-free by nature, without the need to comb through license agreements before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
What text details produce the most accurate results?
Include mood, tempo, instrumentation, genre and a target duration in your prompt. The more specific you are about each element, the closer the output will match your vision. Prompts that describe only a genre often yield generic results, while prompts naming specific instruments and emotional qualities produce far more tailored clips.
Can I use the output in videos I upload to YouTube or Instagram?
Yes. Every clip generated by Stable Audio is royalty-free, meaning you can publish it on social platforms without triggering copyright claims. The audio is generated fresh from your prompt and is not sampled from existing copyrighted recordings.
Is there a way to get a looping track?
Stable Audio does not automatically create a seamless loop, but you can improve loopability by generating a clip at a length that aligns with a natural musical phrase, typically in multiples of a bar. You can then edit the clip in any audio editor to crossfade the end back to the beginning.
What genres does the model support?
The model supports any genre you can describe in text, including orchestral, lo-fi hip hop, ambient electronic, jazz, folk, chiptune, cinematic and many more. If a genre can be described with words, Stable Audio can attempt to produce it. Niche or highly regional styles may require more descriptive prompting to land accurately.
How do I get music that fits a specific BPM or tempo?
You can include a tempo descriptor such as slow, moderate, fast or even a specific BPM figure like 90 BPM directly in your prompt. The model will attempt to match it, though slight variation is normal. Pairing a BPM number with a genre descriptor tends to produce more consistent rhythmic results.
Can the generated music include vocals or lyrics?
Stable Audio is optimized for instrumental background music rather than vocal tracks with lyrics. You can prompt for styles that typically feature vocals, but the output will generally be instrumental in nature. For projects requiring sung lyrics or voice, a dedicated vocal AI tool would be more appropriate.
How much does it cost?
Each generation costs 1 credit. New accounts get free credits to try it out.
Which AI model powers this app?
This app runs on Stable Audio, available through Arteza with no separate account or setup.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. Content you generate is yours to use, subject to our content licenses.
How long does a generation take?
Most generations finish in under a minute, and you can watch progress live in the gallery.
