This guide walks through the complete process for generating audio in ZeroTwo Studio, with prompt examples for different audio types.
Audio generation is primarily available on Pro+ plans. If audio generation is not accessible, upgrade in Settings → Account.

​
Step-by-step: generate audio

1

Navigate to audio Studio

Click Audio in the topbar or go to /studio/audio.
2

Describe the audio you want

Write a prompt describing your desired audio. Be specific about: genre, mood, tempo, instruments, duration, and how it will be used.
3

Select a model

Choose an audio generation model from the model dropdown. Different models handle music, voice synthesis, and sound effects differently — select the one that matches your use case. See audio models for guidance.
4

Set duration (if applicable)

If the selected model supports duration control, specify how long the audio should be. Include this in your prompt as well: "Create a 45-second background track...".
5

Click Generate

Click the Generate button. Audio generation typically takes a few seconds to about a minute depending on the model and duration requested.
6

Preview and download

When generation completes, an audio player appears in the gallery. Click play to preview in-browser. Use the download icon to save the file to your device.

Tips for better audio

  • Specify duration explicitly: "Create a 60-second..." or "a short 5-second..." helps the model target the right length
  • Describe the intended use: telling the model what the audio is for (“background music for a product video”, “notification sound for a mobile app”) helps it understand context and emotional register
  • Name instruments specifically: “piano and strings” is better than “music”; “acoustic guitar” is better than “guitar”
  • Describe tempo in BPM or adjective: "120 BPM", "slow and deliberate", "energetic and fast-paced"
  • Mention what to avoid: "no lyrics", "no drums", "instrumental only" helps prevent unwanted elements
For music intended to loop (like background tracks for a website or app), add “seamless loop” or “designed to loop” to your prompt. Some models are optimized for looping audio and will create tracks with smooth loop points.
