Stable Audio Open is an open-source text-to-audio model optimized for generating short audio samples, sound effects, and production elements. It allows users to generate up to 47 seconds of high-quality audio data using simple text prompts, particularly suitable for creating percussion hits, instrument improvisations, environmental sounds, foley recordings, and more for music production and sound design. A key benefit of open-sourcing is that users can fine-tune the model with their own customized audio data.
