Stop pulling from the same sample library as everyone else. Build one that's entirely your own. We're hosting a deep dive into the Stable Audio plugin: prompt-based sound generation that runs directly inside your DAW. ๐Ÿ“… Wed, Sept 30 @ 11am ET ๐Ÿ”— youtube.com/live/zzKUjjhVZbs

You know the moment: mid-session, losing time scrolling a sample library. Sept. 30th, we're skipping the library. Generate samples in key and in tempo with the Stable Audio plugin, then process them into something original. ๐Ÿ“… Wed, Sept 30 @ 11am ET ๐Ÿ”— youtube.com/live/zzKUjjhVZbs

Most drum machines can't keep up with a live performance. Team StableGroove fixed that at the Montreal @MusicHackspace Hackathon: a real-time AI drum machine on Stable Audio 3.0, generating fresh samples locally without breaking the rhythm. Watch Nav Kumar break it down.

So excited to have all three major record labels on board. Great things coming from the Stable Audio team!
Today marks a new milestone for Stability AI. We've closed our Series B, bringing total funding to $232M under new leadership. This moment is more than the number, it's about who's in the room.

โ€œopen source local models are important b/c musicians should be using instruments not servicesโ€
Music hackers building on Stable Audio 3.0 at the Montreal Music Technology Hackathon told us why open weight models matter to them: transparency, artistic control, and an actual say in how the technology gets used. Watch what they said ๐Ÿ‘‡

People say โ€œnepo babyโ€ when they mean โ€œprivilegedโ€ now
Aware no one wants to hear my thoughts on Audrey Hobert. But I kept reading nepo baby and thought her dad was Spielberg or something. Her dad produced โ€œThe Middle.โ€ Is that a big deal?

Fresh results from July 2026 at Music Arena. Happy to see the community is finding Stable Audio 3 Medium as useful as we do. It has been independently evaluated, and Medium is the second-best and fastest model for instrumental music generation, with open weights!

Most AI audio models have never heard a maqam. Team Motif fine-tuned Stable Audio 3.0 on Arabic maqam, built an Ableton plugin for microtonal style transfer, and won our Stable Audio 3.0 Challenge at Music Hackspace running locally on device. Watch Jad Al Masri break it down ๐Ÿ‘‡

i see ppl making chord generators with the ableton extensions sdk im making some everything generators with it first up: stable audio 3 next up ace-step-1.5
Expand, reshape and hack Live with the free Extensions SDK, an experimental playground inside Live Suite โ€“ now in public beta. Link in comments.

Meet Stable Audio 3.0, the open-weight model family built for artistic experimentation. This is our open invitation to experiment with generative audio. We believe the best innovations are still waiting to be built. The 4-1-1 on 3.0: ๐Ÿ“ฃ You own your outputs, and can distribute and commercialize them under the Stability AI Community License (up to $1 million in revenue). ๐ŸŽต New and improved capabilities include variable-length generation up to six minutes, and full song composition on portable devices, no GPU required. โœ… Trained on a fully licensed dataset. ๐ŸŽจ You can customize the models on your own library with support for LoRa training, which weโ€™ve documented for the first time. More on the models ๐Ÿ‘‡

Another great creative way to use Stable Audio 3! Lots of potential for new sound design flows.
Misuse Stable Audio 3 continuation feature by treating it as an audio prompt.

Stable Audio 3.0 is now Day-0 supported in ComfyUI. Open-weight music models (fully licensed data)โ€”from quick SFX and short tracks to longer, more musical piecesโ€”inside the workflows you already use.
