# ACE Step Audio To Audio API

> Remistura uma faixa existente ou troca as respetivas letras, orientada por tags originais e novas

Começa com um `audio_url` e as respetivas `original_tags`, aplicando novas `tags` para alterar o estilo. `edit_mode` pode ser remix, que altera o som geral, ou lyrics, que edita apenas o que é cantado. Pode fornecer `original_lyrics` e novas `lyrics`, bem como `original_seed`, se conhecido. Os parâmetros de passos e orientação são iguais aos do resto da família.

- Model id: `ace-step/audio-to-audio`
- Made by: ACE Studio
- Category: Text to Music
- Output: audio
- Price per second of your input audio: $0.0002 / second of input audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ace-step/audio-to-audio`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-to-audio`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/pt-PT/developers/models/ace-step/audio-to-audio

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0002 / second of input audio**. Price per second of your input audio: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.002 = 2 API credits (10 s input audio × $0.0002).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ace-step/audio-to-audio` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  |  | URL do ficheiro de áudio para outpainting. |
| `edit_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `remix` | `lyrics`, `remix` | Modo de edição: alterar apenas as letras ou fazer um remix do áudio. |
| `original_tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Etiquetas originalmente associadas ao ficheiro de áudio. |
| `original_lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Letras originalmente associadas ao ficheiro de áudio. |
| `tags` |  | string | yes |  |  | Etiquetas de estilo de áudio fornecidas como géneros separados por vírgulas, com `prompt` disponível como forma alternativa de as fornecer. |
| `lyrics` |  | string | no | `` |  | Letras cantadas, com as secções da canção organizadas através de controlos como [verse], [chorus] e [bridge]. Para áudio sem letras cantadas, omita esta entrada ou forneça apenas [inst] ou [instrumental]. |
| `number_of_steps` |  | integer | no | `27` | 3 – 60 | Número de passos utilizado durante a geração de áudio. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed para geração reproduzível, escolhido aleatoriamente salvo se fornecer um valor. |

| `guidance_interval` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Parte do agendamento de geração que recebe orientação: escolher 0.5 restringe-a aos passos de 0.25 * infer_steps até 0.75 * infer_steps, deixando o início e o fim sem orientação. |
| `guidance_interval_decay` |  | number | no | `0` | 0 – 1 | Decaimento da orientação dentro do intervalo de geração: 0.0 mantém o decaimento desativado; caso contrário, a escala diminui nesse intervalo de guidance_scale para min_guidance_scale. |

| `lyric_guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1.5` | 0 – 10 | Escala da orientação das letras aplicada durante a geração. |
| `original_seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed originalmente associada ao ficheiro de áudio. |

File parameters (`audio`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ace-step/audio-to-audio?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
    "original_tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",

    "original_tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/ace-step/audio-to-audio", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "ace-step/audio-to-audio",
      "input": {
        "tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill",
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
        "original_tags": "lofi, hiphop, drum and bass, trap, chill"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
