What is StepAudio 3 Gen Preview?

StepAudio 3 Gen Preview creates a complete audio scene from text, audio references and role descriptions.

Dialogue, effects and ambience together

StepAudio 3 Gen can combine character voices, sound effects, ambience, background music and singing in one audio result. The brief can describe roles, delivery and when different elements should occur. This makes it a candidate for a scene draft, a game dialogue sequence or a short narrated production with coordinated sound.

Write a timed scene brief

Specify who speaks, the intended line, the emotion and the order of sounds. Separate an effect that should occur during dialogue from one that should follow it. For several roles, describe each voice consistently throughout the prompt. If the result misses a line or an important cue, revise that requirement explicitly instead of simply requesting better audio.

API and preview scope

The published endpoint is POST /v1/audio/generate, using stepaudio-3-gen-preview. Inputs include text and audio references; the output is audio. The documentation describes temporary trial access. Permanent billing figures remain unknown here, and a production client should verify access and result handling against the audio-generation API.

Review the finished clip

Listen for omitted lines, speaker confusion, audible transitions and whether background sound obscures speech. Compare the result with the written timeline, including the closing moment. Keep the brief and references with the chosen clip so another revision can reproduce the intended roles and structure.
