Stable Audio Prompting Tips
Use full sentences rather than comma tags: 'A hip-hop beat featuring heavy 808 bass' not 'hip-hop, 808, bass'.
Specify duration explicitly: '30-second clip', '2-minute track', '8-bar loop'. Stable Audio respects this.
Add 'no vocals, instrumental only' explicitly to prevent vocal-like artifacts.
Include intended use: 'for a cinematic trailer', 'background for a podcast' guides emotional tone.
