Quick Start

1. Install Requirements

1.1 General Setup

Follow the original repo to test if you got all environment ready. **Python 3.7 or higher ** is needed to run the toolbox.

Install PyTorch.

If you get an ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==1.9.0+cu102 (from versions: 0.1.2, 0.1.2.post1, 0.1.2.post2 ) This error is probably due to a low version of python, try using 3.9 and it will install successfully

Install ffmpeg.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the remaining necessary packages.

The recommended environment here is Repo Tag 0.0.1 Pytorch1.9.0 with Torchvision0.10.0 and cudatoolkit10.2 requirements.txt webrtcvad-wheels because requirements. txt was exported a few months ago, so it doesn't work with newer versions

Install webrtcvad pip install webrtcvad-wheels(If you need)

or

install dependencies with conda or mamba

conda env create -n env_name -f env.yml

mamba env create -n env_name -f env.yml

will create a virtual environment where necessary dependencies are installed. Switch to the new environment by conda activate env_name and enjoy it.

env.yml only includes the necessary dependencies to run the project，temporarily without monotonic-align. You can check the official website to install the GPU version of pytorch.

1.2 Setup with a M1 Mac

The following steps are a workaround to directly use the original demo_toolbox.pywithout the changing of codes.

Since the major issue comes with the PyQt5 packages used in demo_toolbox.py not compatible with M1 chips, were one to attempt on training models with the M1 chip, either that person can forgo demo_toolbox.py, or one can try the web.py in the project.

1.2.1 Install `PyQt5`, with ref here.

Create and open a Rosetta Terminal, with ref here.

Use system Python to create a virtual environment for the project

/usr/bin/python3 -m venv /PathToMockingBird/venv
source /PathToMockingBird/venv/bin/activate

Upgrade pip and install PyQt5

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install pyqt5

1.2.2 Install `pyworld` and `ctc-segmentation`

Both packages seem to be unique to this project and are not seen in the original Real-Time Voice Cloning project. When installing with pip install, both packages lack wheels so the program tries to directly compile from c code and could not find Python.h.

Install pyworld
- brew install python Python.h can come with Python installed by brew
- export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers The filepath of brew-installed Python.h is unique to M1 MacOS and listed above. One needs to manually add the path to the environment variables.
- pip install pyworld that should do.
Installctc-segmentation

Same method does not apply to ctc-segmentation, and one needs to compile it from the source code on github.
- git clone https://github.com/lumaku/ctc-segmentation.git
- cd ctc-segmentation
- source /PathToMockingBird/venv/bin/activate If the virtual environment hasn't been deployed, activate it.
- cythonize -3 ctc_segmentation/ctc_segmentation_dyn.pyx
- /usr/bin/arch -x86_64 python setup.py build Build with x86 architecture.
- /usr/bin/arch -x86_64 python setup.py install --optimize=1 --skip-buildInstall with x86 architecture.

1.2.3 Other dependencies

/usr/bin/arch -x86_64 pip install torch torchvision torchaudio Pip installing PyTorch as an example, articulate that it's installed with x86 architecture
pip install ffmpeg Install ffmpeg
pip install -r requirements.txt Install other requirements.

1.2.4 Run the Inference Time (with Toolbox)

To run the project on x86 architecture. ref.

vim /PathToMockingBird/venv/bin/pythonM1 Create an executable file pythonM1 to condition python interpreter at /PathToMockingBird/venv/bin.

Write in the following content:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
mydir=${0:a:h}
/usr/bin/arch -x86_64 $mydir/python "$@"

chmod +x pythonM1 Set the file as executable.
If using PyCharm IDE, configure project interpreter to pythonM1(steps here), if using command line python, run /PathToMockingBird/venv/bin/pythonM1 demo_toolbox.py

2. Prepare your models

Note that we are using the pretrained encoder/vocoder but not synthesizer, since the original model is incompatible with the Chinese symbols. It means the demo_cli is not working at this moment, so additional synthesizer models are required.

You can either train your models or use existing ones:

2.1 Train encoder with your dataset (Optional)

Preprocess with the audios and the mel spectrograms: python encoder_preprocess.py <datasets_root> Allowing parameter --dataset {dataset} to support the datasets you want to preprocess. Only the train set of these datasets will be used. Possible names: librispeech_other, voxceleb1, voxceleb2. Use comma to sperate multiple datasets.
Train the encoder: python encoder_train.py my_run <datasets_root>/SV2TTS/encoder

For training, the encoder uses visdom. You can disable it with --no_visdom, but it's nice to have. Run "visdom" in a separate CLI/process to start your visdom server.

2.2 Train synthesizer with your dataset

Download dataset and unzip: make sure you can access all .wav in folder
Preprocess with the audios and the mel spectrograms: python pre.py <datasets_root> Allowing parameter --dataset {dataset} to support aidatatang_200zh, magicdata, aishell3, data_aishell, etc.If this parameter is not passed, the default dataset will be aidatatang_200zh.
Train the synthesizer: python train.py --type=synth mandarin <datasets_root>/SV2TTS/synthesizer
Go to next step when you see attention line show and loss meet your need in training folder synthesizer/saved_models/.

2.3 Use pretrained model of synthesizer

Thanks to the community, some models will be shared:

2.4 Train vocoder (Optional)

note: vocoder has little difference in effect, so you may not need to train a new one.

Preprocess the data: python vocoder_preprocess.py <datasets_root> -m <synthesizer_model_path>

<datasets_root> replace with your dataset root，<synthesizer_model_path>replace with directory of your best trained models of sythensizer, e.g. sythensizer\saved_mode\xxx

Train the wavernn vocoder: python vocoder_train.py mandarin <datasets_root>
Train the hifigan vocoder python vocoder_train.py mandarin <datasets_root> hifigan

3. Launch

3.1 Using the web server

You can then try to run:python web.py and open it in browser, default as http://localhost:8080

3.2 Using the Toolbox

You can then try the toolbox: python demo_toolbox.py -d <datasets_root>

3.3 Using the command line

You can then try the command: python gen_voice.py <text_file.txt> your_wav_file.wav you may need to install cn2an by "pip install cn2an" for better digital number result.

F Q&A

1.Where can I download the dataset?

Dataset	Original Source	Alternative Sources
aidatatang_200zh	OpenSLR	Google Drive
magicdata	OpenSLR	Google Drive (Dev set)
aishell3	OpenSLR	Google Drive
data_aishell	OpenSLR

After unzip aidatatang_200zh, you need to unzip all the files under aidatatang_200zh\corpus\train

2.What is`<datasets_root>`?

If the dataset path is D:\data\aidatatang_200zh,then <datasets_root> isD:\data

3.Not enough VRAM

Train the synthesizer：adjust the batch_size in synthesizer/hparams.py

//Before
tts_schedule = [(2,  1e-3,  20_000,  12),   # Progressive training schedule
                (2,  5e-4,  40_000,  12),   # (r, lr, step, batch_size)
                (2,  2e-4,  80_000,  12),   #
                (2,  1e-4, 160_000,  12),   # r = reduction factor (# of mel frames
                (2,  3e-5, 320_000,  12),   #     synthesized for each decoder iteration)
                (2,  1e-5, 640_000,  12)],  # lr = learning rate
//After
tts_schedule = [(2,  1e-3,  20_000,  8),   # Progressive training schedule
                (2,  5e-4,  40_000,  8),   # (r, lr, step, batch_size)
                (2,  2e-4,  80_000,  8),   #
                (2,  1e-4, 160_000,  8),   # r = reduction factor (# of mel frames
                (2,  3e-5, 320_000,  8),   #     synthesized for each decoder iteration)
                (2,  1e-5, 640_000,  8)],  # lr = learning rate

Train Vocoder-Preprocess the data：adjust the batch_size in synthesizer/hparams.py

//Before
### Data Preprocessing
        max_mel_frames = 900,
        rescale = True,
        rescaling_max = 0.9,
        synthesis_batch_size = 16,                  # For vocoder preprocessing and inference.
//After
### Data Preprocessing
        max_mel_frames = 900,
        rescale = True,
        rescaling_max = 0.9,
        synthesis_batch_size = 8,                  # For vocoder preprocessing and inference.

Train Vocoder-Train the vocoder：adjust the batch_size in vocoder/wavernn/hparams.py

//Before
# Training
voc_batch_size = 100
voc_lr = 1e-4
voc_gen_at_checkpoint = 5
voc_pad = 2

//After
# Training
voc_batch_size = 6
voc_lr = 1e-4
voc_gen_at_checkpoint = 5
voc_pad =2

4.If it happens `RuntimeError: Error(s) in loading state_dict for Tacotron: size mismatch for encoder.embedding.weight: copying a param with shape torch.Size([70, 512]) from checkpoint, the shape in current model is torch.Size([75, 512]).`

Please refer to issue #37

5. How to improve CPU and GPU occupancy rate?

Adjust the batch_size as appropriate to improve

6. What if it happens `the page file is too small to complete the operation`

Please refer to this video and change the virtual memory to 100G (102400), for example : When the file is placed in the D disk, the virtual memory of the D disk is changed.

7. When should I stop during training?

FYI, my attention came after 18k steps and loss became lower than 0.4 after 50k steps.
