Prompting the AI
With Stable Audio, you can be as specific as you like. Whether you're after a Wild West soundtrack or some modern techno beats for meditating, it's all in your hands. You can even control the instruments and beats per minute (BPM).
Pro Tip: Be specific with prompts like "only drums" to have more control when mixing in your DAW. But keep in mind that it tends to favor Electronic genres. If you're into Trap or Dance, you’re in luck! Indie Rock enthusiasts might not find as much value here.
