Stages AI previews Audio Studio v1.01 with stem-separation in v1.02 plans

• dustinhollywood's preview thread said STAGES AI's Audio Studio is being tested ahead of a release next week, and a follow-up in the same thread said v1.01 had finished checks for a next-day drop.
• According to dustinhollywood's reply about studio access, the company plans to let users try the studio directly, while dustinhollywood's mobile demo showed the interface running on a phone.
• dustinhollywood's music demo framed the new workflow as strong enough that he "may never use Suno again," and dustinhollywood's short comparison clip hinted at replacing a more fragmented audio stack.
• In the v1.01 rollout thread, dustinhollywood's thread context also said v1.02 is planned to add stem separation and a multi-project editing workflow.
• Outside the tweets, the live STAGES Pro site already describes STAGES as a unified creative workspace with audio agents and an /audio-lab, even though the main STAGES site still presents broader access as a beta signup.

You can already browse the live STAGES Pro workspace, where the product copy mentions audio agents and an /audio-lab; NAKID's April launch post lists Signal, Stage, CUE, and Agentix as the wider system around it. Meanwhile dustinhollywood's Voice Design clip shows narration-style voice work inside STAGES, dustinhollywood's mobile video shows the interface on a phone, and dustinhollywood's promo post points to a live Pro app plus a free-month launch code.

The clearest product news is tucked into dustinhollywood's preview thread and the linked thread context on dustinhollywood's music demo: Audio Studio is slated for release next week, v1.01 was under checks, and v1.02 is planned to add stem separation.

That matters because STAGES has mostly been framed as a broad creative operating system. On the live STAGES Pro site, the platform describes CUE as an orchestration layer for vision, audio, and QA jobs, and its surfaced tool list includes an /audio-lab, which matches the new audio push.

The bigger claim came from dustinhollywood's music demo, where he said he may never use Suno again. The evidence in the thread is narrower than that boast, but it does show STAGES moving from generation into arrangement and editing.

In a June 15 thread update attached to dustinhollywood's music demo, dustinhollywood said he had "basically reinvented sound editing to be done on multiple projects simultaneously." That is the most concrete workflow claim in the preview.

The surrounding tweets suggest three separate pieces of the workflow:

• Audio generation and arrangement, per the main music demo
• Planned stem separation in v1.02, per the thread context on v1.02
• Faster switching across pieces of work, which the short comparison clip frames as relief from an older, more cumbersome process

None of that is documented yet in public product docs, so the current story is still a preview story, not a spec sheet.

dustinhollywood's Voice Design post adds a second lane beyond music. The clip is labeled "Voice Design inside @stages_ai," which points to narration, character voice, or spoken-audio work living in the same environment as the music tools.

A reply in the same preview thread, dustinhollywood's randomizer comment, says he is designing "prompt injection randomizers." The phrase is vague, but it suggests prompt-level controls or variation tools around generated audio rather than a fixed preset workflow.

dustinhollywood's mobile demo is one of the more useful receipts in the batch because it answers a practical question fast: the Audio Studio interface is being shown on mobile, not just on desktop.

Access is still split across two surfaces. The main STAGES site asks users to join a list to hear about beta and new tool releases, while dustinhollywood's promo post links directly to the live Pro app at pro.stages-ai.io and advertises a free month of Pro plus model credits with the code LAUNCH2026.
