Sonora Studio 1.0

Sonora Studio 1.0

First public release of Sonora Studio: a free, local-first music creation studio built around ComfyUI and ACE-Step 1.5. No subscription, no credits.

What it does

• Create music: write a style prompt and lyrics, or let Auto pick tempo, time signature and key. Options include reference audio, styles to avoid, a melody-freedom slider and saved prompts.
• Remix and edit: upload your own song, then remix or repaint a section.
• Library: browse, favorite and organize your tracks in workspaces.
• Audio editor and stems: separate vocals from instrumental and rebalance the mix.
• Audio Lab: analysis and mastering tools.
• Prompt studio: build prompts and lyrics from categories, with optional AI assistance.
• Optional LoRA trainer on RunPod.

Where it runs

• On your own computer with ComfyUI. Sonora downloads the missing ACE-Step model files for you (about 19.9 GB, after you confirm).
• On RunPod Serverless or an existing Vast.ai instance, if your PC has no suitable GPU. These are third-party services that bill you directly.

Before you start

• Plan on an NVIDIA GPU with 12 GB VRAM at the very least (16 GB or more is better) and about 22 GB of free disk space. Without a suitable GPU, use RunPod.
• Sonora does not install ComfyUI, Node.js, FFmpeg or NVIDIA drivers. The README has a step-by-step Quick start.
• Windows is the platform it has been used on so far.
