Our latest release brings AudioStack's workflows to a whole new level when it comes to stability. We've added:

Platform Features

• You can now download stems for an audio asset in Workshop.
• It's now possible to create an audio asset with no sound template in Workshop.
• You can now view assets created in SonicSell or Workshop in the Library using the dropdown menu.
• We added status messages to SonicSell, so you can keep track of how your ad generation is going.
• Improved error messages in SonicSell, so it's easier to tell when something's gone wrong.

UX Improvements

• We renamed Dashboard to Home (it makes for a better German translation!)

API Improvements

• Improved /voice/select and /sound/select endpoints to make sure that users always receive a large, varied selection of voices or sound designs.
• Audioform (asset) generation process is now asynchronous, improving performance and scalability.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed missing audio processing module on produce one section route leading to better reliability when generating speech.
• Corrected usage of logging module for SES, reducing crashes when generating speech.
• Fixed a bug with asset length being incorrectly set in workshop.

• We levelled up our file browsing experience in the Resources/Content page, to better support a large volume of files.

We gave a lick of paint to our emails - to delight our customers

We're excited to announce the addition of 34 new English-speaking voices to the AudioStack Library, upping the total number of available voices to a whopping 1407 speakers! 🎊

We made some updates to Workshop to better support different lengths of audio asset.

• Editing a SonicSell Ad within Workshop now generates audio with the same length (bug fix).
