Organisations containing non USASCII characters in their names

πŸ› Organisations which contain a non USASCII char (e.g. Γ€,ΓΆ,Γ±) couldn't login to the platform at all. πŸ’₯ The encoding broke and the Organisation name was invalid.

Cached files

πŸ› We fixed a bug where the User tried to request a cached file with a public accessible URL and instead get a private URL back. Cached files always returned private urls even the User explicit want a public one.

πŸŽ‰ Exciting news πŸŽ‰

Did you know you can now create your own sound template from the AudioStack platform? Simply navigate to the Content/ Resources page, upload a file and follow the instructions in the docs to create a private sound template: https://docs.audiostack.ai/docs/manage-your-content-resources

You will be able to use your sound design in any of our workflows, including SonicSell.

We'll soon be updating the production credits charged for interacting with endpoints of AudioStack API, along with AudioStack platform functionality that uses the API. These changes will result in increased pricing in some areas and decreased pricing in others, to better reflect the complexity of the functionality.

The production credits being updated are:

We have added audio enhancement endpoints, added our Text Tagger to the SDK and added some security improvements and API improvements for our Voice Intelligence Layer

New Audio enhancement endpoints

We are continuously working on enriching our audio capabilities so we've added the ability to evaluate, enhance and denoise audio files.

🎧 We added evaluate audioEvaluate an audio file.

🎧 Enhance audio Evaluate and enhance an audio file.

🎧 Denoise an audio file in order to remove background noise. Denoise an audio file.

Improvements

πŸ’― A quality of life improvement the Voice Intelligence Layer is now enabled if you use one of our in built tags such as <as:break>

πŸ’― We also added improvements to the file transfer routes so you no longer need to add file names

πŸ›We added some security improvements for our customers to the voice preview

Recommendations using our Text Tagger

We've added recommendations for tags, moods and tones using the Text Tagger

See how to use them on our docs - https://docs.audiostack.ai/reference/postrecommendmoods

text = "AudioStack's technology seamlessly integrates into your product or workflow and cuts your audio production cycles to seconds while making your budgets go further."
number_of_results = 2
tags = ["happy", "fun", "valuable", "fast"]
category = "my category"

tag_item = audiostack.Content.RecommendTag.create(
    text=text, number_of_results=number_of_results, tags=tags, category=category
)
print(tag_item)

mood_item = audiostack.Content.RecommendMood.create(
    text=text, number_of_results=number_of_results
)
print(mood_item)

tone_item = audiostack.Content.RecommendTone.create(
    text=text, number_of_results=number_of_results
)
print(tone_item)

Another exciting addition to the AudioStack API - the ability to evaluate a given audio file to receive a quality evaluation, and then to enhance or denoise your audio file as needed.

We added three new endpoints as part of the Production Suite (i.e. /production/suite/), which can help you to check the quality of your recording, for example before using it for voice cloning.

With the /production/suite/enhance endpoint, you can let AudioStack do the work and both evaluate and enhance your file as needed.

Voice Cloner FileSize Update πŸ“’

πŸ’― We have shipped some improvements to the maximum file size you can upload to our file manager to clone your voice: now you can upload recordings of any file size! 🎊

These changes offer increased flexibility in uploading larger recordings for voice cloning, and this also means more natural sounding voice clones with higher audio quality outputs. Also, this optimises the processing workflow for improved efficiency. 🌈

Recommendation Endpoint

We are excited to introduce new enhancements to our recommendation endpoint, offering users an even more tailored and dynamic experience 🎊 This update focuses on providing personalized suggestions based on tone, mood, or user-specified tags.

See how to use them on our docs here, here and here

Here’s a breakdown of the key changes:

πŸ“Recommend Tags

1️⃣ Users can now take control of their content recommendations by providing a personalized list of tags. This empowers them to fine-tune suggestions based on specific interests or preferences.

πŸ“Recommend Tones

2️⃣ Introducing the ability to recommend the best tone from AudioStack’s curated list. Tones play a crucial role in determining the most suitable voice for your text, enhancing the overall audio experience.

πŸŽ“ Recommend Moods

3️⃣ Users can now discover the perfect mood for their content with recommendations from AudioStack’s carefully curated list. Selecting the right mood is essential for finding the optimal sound design that complements the text.

πŸ¦„ These updates aim to elevate user experience by offering greater flexibility and customisation in content recommendations. Stay tuned for more exciting features and enhancements in future releases!πŸ¦„

Voice Cloning update!

We updated the voice cloner, where we integrated our AES (audio evaluation service) so you get a better recoded voice πŸ’―

  • Speech page with button and voices carousel
  • New api key modal copy based on customer feedback
  • New recording script

Fixes and enhancements

πŸ›We fixed a bug by restricting the length of organisation name

πŸ“” Updated docs to give clearer examples of using Files as sound templates with Python SDK: https://docs.audiostack.ai/docs/custom-sound-design-templates

πŸ’― Improvements to the UX for the AES (audio evaluation service).

  • Added the terms and conditions to our sign up page

Filter and sort your media files

πŸ’―We shipped adding sorting and filtering to media files πŸ“

Bug fixes

πŸ› Improved error messages when users hit credit limits

🚒We've shipped some improvements on the length prediction model to account for filtering out break tags and SSML tags at inference, manage negative prediction as well as empty text prediction. This results in a more accurate estimate of the duration of your produced audio!

πŸ’°We shipped improvements to the billing system, enhancing our customer experience πŸ’―

  • We fixed some bugs with inaccurate billing and improved the processing of invoices, so a better experience.
  • Better sign up experience, so a faster checkout flow.
  • Added yearly and quarterly payment programs allowing better customer experience
  • We fixed some errors in credits being accounted wrongly.
  • We fixed some mismatches in the platform and the billing systems, and made our extra credits system more robust.

🚀 We made significant improvements in our authentication flow in tests it was up to 10x faster so you should notice some speed improvements throughout the platform and in particular the API.
