Seed Audio 1.0

Multi-voice audio scenes with music and effects

From 54 credits per run≈ $0.54

What it's like to use

Seed Audio 1.0 is ByteDance's all-in-one audio model: describe the speakers, put their lines in quotes, add music, ambience and sound effects, and get one finished scene of up to about two minutes back as an MP3. Each character gets a distinct voice in the same clip, so you don't need a separate voice model per role.

Good for

  • Short audio dramas with two or more characters
  • Sound-designed scenes: dialogue, music and effects in one track
  • Voice tracks for a talking avatar or a lip-sync video

How it compares

Same kind of job, different strengths and prices.

MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD is the better pick for a single narrator reading a long script. Seed Audio is built for whole scenes with several voices and sound.

Good to know

One flat price per request, whatever the length. The whole scene, voices included, has to fit in a 2,000-character prompt.
