Create

create.remix_instrumental (submit)

Submit an instrumental remix request.

Returns immediately with status: processing. Use the matching GET to poll for completion, or supply a callback_url to receive a webhook.

Takes an existing instrumental track (no vocals) and produces new instrumental variations of it. By default the source itself guides the output. Optionally supply a prompt to steer the result toward a described style or mood — it’s echoed back on the operation. For remixing a track that contains vocals, use create.remix_song instead. Set n_variations (1-3) for how many variations to produce — each appears as a separate entry in outputs when the operation is ready.

Add the optional loudness block to have every variation normalised to a target integrated loudness, given in LUFS or as a named preset (streaming, podcast or broadcast), at no extra cost — see loudness.

Credits cost: 3 per variation (so n_variations: 3 costs 9). Insufficient credits returns 402 — see errors.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Body

application/json

idempotency_key

string<uuid>

required

A unique UUID you choose. Send the same key to retry safely; we'll return the original response without doing the work again.

Example:

"3f2b8c1e-9d4a-4e7b-b6c5-1a2d3e4f5a6b"

source

AudioSource · object

required

The instrumental track (no vocals) to remix. The audio must be a WAV, MP3, or FLAC file between 1 second and 5 minutes long, and at most 50 MB.

Show child attributes

callback_url

string<uri> | null

Optional HTTPS URL we'll POST the final response to when the operation reaches ready or failed. Polling remains the canonical source of truth; webhooks are a best-effort latency optimisation.

Required string length: 1 - 2048

Example:

"https://example.com/webhooks/soundpiece"

n_variations

integer

default:1

How many output variations to produce (1-3).

Required range: 1 <= x <= 3

prompt

string | null

Optional description of the musical style, mood and instrumentation to steer the remix toward — a short phrase or sentence, not comma-separated tags. The output stays instrumental, so vocal or lyric direction has no effect. Examples: A hopeful, driving rock anthem, A slow, emotional solo piano piece around 80 BPM, Dreamy, melancholic synthwave, mid-tempo, Powerful, uplifting orchestral.

Required string length: 1 - 1024

loudness

Target · object

A target loudness to normalise audio to. Every field has a default, so {} asks for the defaults: -14 LUFS, compression allowed.
