How it works

Describe, generate, download.

Step 1
Write the prompt

Describe the sound in detail, generate a take, and adjust your prompt if needed. Results and processing times vary.

Step 2
Set the length

One to ten seconds. Auto reads your prompt and picks — a door creak wants two seconds, rain ambience wants ten.

Step 3
Download or iterate

Not quite right? Adjust two words and generate again. Every result stays in your history so you can compare takes.

What you get

Built for iteration.

Text-prompt generation

No sample libraries to search and no tagging vocabulary to learn. You write a sentence and get a sound.

1 to 10 second control

Set an exact length for a hit or a transition, or leave it on Auto for ambience. Ten seconds is the current ceiling.

Preset starters

Eight worked examples — ocean waves, thunderstorm, city street, fireplace, forest birds and more — to edit rather than start blank.

Download-ready output

Each result plays inline with a waveform and downloads in one click, ready to drop onto a timeline.

Saved to your history

Every effect you generate stays in History with its prompt, so you can compare four takes of the same door and pick one.

100 to unlimited

Five free, then 100 a month on Starter, 300 on Creator, and unlimited on Pro — iteration stops being something you ration.

Use cases

Where a generated effect beats a library.

YouTube & shorts

Describe the sound in detail, generate a take, and adjust your prompt if needed. Results and processing times vary.

Games

Prototype audio fast — generate six variations of a footstep on gravel and drop the one that fits into the build.

Podcasts

Scene-setting beds for narrative episodes — a rainy street, a quiet kitchen — described in the words your script already uses.

UI sounds

Short, dry clicks and confirmations at one second or less, where the whole brief is "soft but definite".

Film school projects

Foley on no budget. Generate the specific sound the scene needs instead of settling for the nearest free download.

Streaming alerts

Follow and donation stingers nobody else has, matched to your channel rather than the same three packs everyone uses.

The basics

Prompting a sound is a skill.

Describe it, hear it

Generated sound effects work the way image generation does: you describe what you want in ordinary language and the system produces new audio matching that description. Nothing is retrieved from a library — the file you download did not exist before you asked for it.

That matters most for sounds nobody thought to record. A stock library has forty door creaks, but probably not the one inside a stone hall with the echo you can hear in your head. Generation is how you get the specific one.

Writing prompts that work

Three details do most of the work. Name the space — a stone hall, a small kitchen, an open field — because reverb is what makes a sound feel located. Name the material: wood, metal, gravel, glass. Name the distance, near or far.

Then add intensity if it matters: "heavy", "gentle", "sudden". Avoid stacking three unrelated sounds into one prompt — generate them separately and layer them in your editor, which also gives you control over the mix.

Honest comparison

FAQ

Questions about sound effects.

Yes — commercial usage rights are included on every paid plan, which covers monetised videos, games, and client work. There is no per-track licence to check, because the sound was generated for you rather than licensed from a catalogue.

Describe the sound in detail, generate a take, and adjust your prompt if needed. Results and processing times vary.

Effects run from one to ten seconds. Set an exact duration for hits and transitions, or leave it on Auto and the prompt decides — a creak wants two seconds, rain ambience wants ten.

Each effect downloads as MP3 · 128 kbps audio, ready to drop onto a timeline in Premiere, Resolve, CapCut, or any DAW without conversion.

Five free to start, then 100 a month on Starter, 300 on Creator, and unlimited on Pro. Every generation counts as one effect, including retakes.

Yes — generating again with the same or a tweaked prompt produces a new take, and every take stays in your history with its prompt so you can compare them side by side.
