Good prompting practices
A good prompt for the Stable Audio Open Small model can include the following elements:

- Musical elements (texture, rhythm and articulation).
- Musical atmosphere (mood and emotion).
- Tempo, using beats per minute (BPM).
The order of prompt parameters matters. For more information, see the Prompt structure user guide .
