Stable Audio 3 Prompting

Choose model path

• medium: higher-quality music and general audio
• small-music: fast music
• small-sfx: sound effects

Music

Describe genre, important instruments, mood and energy, and BPM when useful. Stable Audio 3 is for instrumental or non-intelligible vocal textures, not dialogue.

Stem or solo instrument

Start with TrackType: Instrument when isolation matters. State instrument, genre context, technique, mood, tempo, recording environment, and effects.

SFX

State:

1. physical source
2. exact triggering action
3. duration or decay behavior
4. distance and microphone perspective
5. room or exterior character
6. processing only when needed

TrackType: SFX is useful for isolated effects.

Existing audio

For audio-to-audio, inpainting, or continuation, preserve source-file identity and record the intended edit region or influence strength as execution metadata. Keep the prompt plausible relative to surrounding audio.

Output

Save under 04_generation/prompts/stable-audio-3/<cue-id>.md with MODEL, MODE, DURATION, PROMPT, and optional NEGATIVE_PROMPT.

Done

The prompt names a physically or musically coherent source and duration, and does not ask Stable Audio 3 to produce intelligible spoken dialogue.
