STAGES AI releases Resolve Audio Studio v1.01 for paid users

• STAGES said Resolve Audio Studio v1.01 shipped to paid users on launch day, and dustinhollywood's launch post paired it with a one-day LAUNCH2026 code for a free month of STAGES Pro.
• The main product claim came from dustinhollywood's v1.01 post, which said the update "reinvented sound editing" across multiple projects at once, while keeping stem separation penciled in for v1.02.
• STAGES' own Pro Creative AI-OS page lists both /audio-lab and /audio-studio inside a broader single-canvas production system, and labels the public build "Version 1.0.1 Alpha."
• dustinhollywood's tutorial checklist and a follow-up tutorial teaser show the audio release landing inside a bigger workflow stack that also includes model favorites, image references, CASTING characters, CUE prompt tools, and SIGNAL social posting.
• The same launch window also introduced STAGES GREENLIGHT, a Discord pitch program offering production credits and promotion instead of cash grants.

You can inspect the live STAGES Pro workspace, which exposes routes for Audio Studio, Casting, Signal, and CUE orchestration. There is also an older NAKID launch post that frames STAGES as an AI-OS for multi-medium production, while the tutorial list quietly sketches how image generation, character casting, animation, and social packaging are supposed to connect.

STAGES treated the audio drop as a real product release, not another preview. dustinhollywood's launch post said Resolve Audio Studio was live for all paid users, while the earlier v1.01 update said the build had cleared checks and would ship the next day.

The official STAGES Pro page now shows "Version 1.0.1 Alpha" in an operational state. In its route map, the page lists both Audio Lab and Audio Studio, which suggests the shipped audio surface is part of a larger media pipeline rather than a one-off tool.

The sharpest claim in the launch run came from dustinhollywood's v1.01 post, which said the new build lets sound editing happen across multiple projects simultaneously.

That matters because STAGES is already marketed as a single-canvas production system. On the official product page, AGENTIX is described as routing vision, audio, and QA agents in one workspace, and CUE is described as the command layer for planning, generation, orchestration, and delivery.

The public demos stayed closer to vibes than specs. one preview video showed the Audio Studio before release, and a second demo came with the line that the creator "may never use Suno again," which at least signals STAGES is aiming at music-first creation, not just cleanup utilities.

The first tutorial checklist is more revealing than the launch copy. It breaks the STAGES flow into nine steps:

1. Dashboard to Generate
2. Model browsing
3. Favorite-model presets
4. Featured-model switching
5. Image references
6. CUE IMAGE PROMPT and CUE EFFECTS PROMPT
7. CASTING characters
8. Grid-to-animation
9. SIGNAL social posting

That list makes Resolve Audio Studio look like one room inside a much wider creator OS. The official STAGES Pro page backs that up with separate routes for Casting, Signal, Stage, Storyboard, Video Gen, Audio Studio, and Audio Lab.

The next audio milestone is already on the record. dustinhollywood's v1.01 post said v1.02 will add stem separation.

There is no public ETA beyond "working on it," and no official doc yet explains how stem splitting will work. For now, the roadmap item is useful mostly because it shows STAGES shipping the audio module in increments instead of holding it until every music feature is finished.

STAGES used the same launch window to open GREENLIGHT, a Discord-based pitch program for films, trailers, documentaries, commercials, music videos, and other projects. According to dustinhollywood's GREENLIGHT thread, selected submissions may get production credits, creator spotlights, editorial features through NAKID, promotion across STAGES channels, interviews, workflow breakdowns, and access to its creative network.

The unusual bit is what it does not offer. that same thread explicitly said there are no cash grants yet, only visibility and production overhead.

One extra launch-week detail did not come from the audio announcement at all. dustinhollywood's website post said every STAGES tier now gets a free customizable STAGES website, built on the platform's assets engine and MEMORX system.

That sits neatly beside the official pricing page section, which lists plans from Free through Enterprise and says feature access changes by tier in the terms. If STAGES is trying to make its canvas the place where work is generated, organized, and shown off, the free site builder is a distribution feature, not just account garnish.
