Question 1

What is SonusLab?

Accepted Answer

SonusLab is an audio processing platform that lets you clip audio from 16 platforms, clone voices using Fish Audio, and generate speech with ElevenLabs — all from a web dashboard or a REST API.

Question 2

Is SonusLab free?

Accepted Answer

SonusLab is free to get started. You can create clips, generate speech, and clone voices right away. API usage is tracked per key so you can monitor your consumption.

Question 3

Which platforms can I clip audio from?

Accepted Answer

YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit, Twitch, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Pinterest, Tumblr, Bilibili, Rutube, and OK.ru. We extract audio using yt-dlp and normalize loudness with FFmpeg.

Question 4

How long can audio clips be?

Accepted Answer

Audio clips can be up to 15 seconds long. You select the precise start and end time using the waveform editor in the dashboard, or specify start/end timestamps via the API.

Question 5

What audio format do clips output?

Accepted Answer

All audio is output as MP3 with loudness normalization (EBU R128) applied via FFmpeg. Clips are limited to 15 seconds and 8MB.

Question 6

How does voice cloning work?

Accepted Answer

Upload a 3-60 second reference audio file or paste a URL. Fish Audio creates an instant voice clone from the reference — no training queue, no waiting. You can then use that clone to generate speech from any text.

Question 7

What TTS providers do you support?

Accepted Answer

Fish Audio for voice cloning and text-to-speech with your cloned voices, and ElevenLabs for high-quality TTS with their premade voice library. Both are accessible via the dashboard and the REST API.

Question 8

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every feature — clips, TTS, voice cloning — is available as a REST endpoint. Generate API keys from the dashboard, authenticate with a single X-API-Key header, and integrate audio processing into your apps.

Question 9

How do I authenticate with the API?

Accepted Answer

Create an API key from the dashboard. Include it in the X-API-Key header of your requests. Keys are hashed on our end — the full key is shown once on creation and never stored in plain text.

Question 10

Can I use SonusLab with my Discord bot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SonusLab was designed to be consumed by external services like Discord bots. Generate an API key, call the REST endpoints to create clips or generate speech, and use the returned audio URLs in your bot.
