Make a sound effect from a description with Stable Audio Open, on this machine.

raea sao makes foley and sound effects from words with Stable Audio Open Small (on Core ML), running locally. It goes through the same asset store a render does, with the same defaults as sao("…", {seconds}) in a composition, so a sound made here is the one the composition finds already made, and the other way round. The model installs itself the first time (or with raea setup-audio).

Terminal
raea sao "a heavy wooden door creaks open" --seconds 3 -o door.wav
raea sao "rain on a tin roof" --seconds 8 --seed 4

Usage

Terminal
raea sao "PROMPT" [--seconds 2] [--seed 1] [--dir EDIT_DIR] [-o OUT.wav]   (foley, local)

Headless: it needs nothing running and opens no window. Takes up to 1 argument besides its flags.

Flags

FlagTakesWhat it does
--dirEDIT_DIRThe edit's folder, whose asset store keeps the sound (the current folder by default).
--seconds2How long the sound is.
--seed1The seed; another seed gives another take of the same prompt.
-oOUT.wavAlso write the sound to this file.
