I've been experimenting with this for a bit, and I'm disappointed by how vague and incomplete the English documentation on these settings is. In an effort to remedy this, here's my breakdown of each setting: Response threshold: Controls the noise gate. Any sound below the threshold is suppressed. This is used to prevent background noise and hiss from being turned into strange mumbling. Equivalent to "S. Threshold" in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Pitch settings: Applies a pitch offset to your input voice. Every multiple of 12 setting increases or decreases the voice by an octave. Adjustments by 1 increase or decrease by a semitone. Using whole octaves is primarily used to ensure you can sing in the same key. Equivalent to "TUNE" in w-okada. Equivalent to "Transpose" in RVC WebUI. Index rate: When an index file is provided, this slider augments the target voice by preserving more of its accent and less of the input voice (to reduce tone leakage). This is particularly useful for voices trained with a low epoch count (around 200-ish or less). If set too high, it can cause strange pronunciation artifacts. I usually find something around 0.30 to sound good, but it varies by voice model. Equivalent to "INDEX" in w-okada. Equivalent to "Search feature ratio" in RVC WebUI. Loudness factor: How little to preserve the loudness of the input performance. At 0, the loudness of the cloned voice should match the loudness of the input voice. At 1, the cloned voice will always be at full loudness. 0 is useful if you want to distinguish between whispers, talking, screaming, etc. 1 is useful to have the cloned voice always speak loudly and clearly, as loud as the loudest things it was trained on (which can have artifacts such as mic clipping depending on the training set). Values in-between provide partial volume control biased toward being louder, the closer you get to 1. There is no equivalent in w-okada. Equivalent to "volume envelope scaling" in RVC WebUI. Pitch detection algorithm: Different algorithms are better at different things. rmvpe is the current state-of-the-art and works fastest and usually with the highest quality. Equivalent to "F0 Det." in w-okada. Equivalent to "pitch extraction algorithm" in RVC WebUI. Sample length: The realtime voice changer works by sending small chunks of audio for quick conversion, then stitching them together. Longer sample lengths feed in longer chunks, making the stitches less obvious and reducing GPU requirements but increasing output latency. On a low end GPU, setting this too low will make the GPU unable to keep up and produces stutters. On a high end GPU, setting this too low will cause warbling as an artifact of stitching many overly-short chunks together. Equivalent to "CHUNK" in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Number of CPUs: Self explanatory. Note, however, that rmvpe is a GPU-based pitch extractor and should be relatively unaffected by this setting. There is no equivalent in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Fade length: The length between chunks to crossfade together. Longer may reduce warbling. Equivalent to "overlap" in w-okada advanced settings. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Extra inference time: How much old audio to load into each chunk. The extra context usually improves voice quality for the generated chunk but is more demanding for the GPU. Equivalent to "EXTRA" in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Input noise reduction: Attempts to remove non-speech background noise from the input to prevent sounds from being turned into strange mumbling. Equivalent to "NOISE" in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Output noise reduction: Applies the same noise reduction to the output voice. Possibly good for poorly trained voices with lots of background noise. There is no equivalent in w-okada, but the usefulness of this setting is dubious. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Input voice monitor: Lets you hear the voice audio being passed in to the voice changer, sent to the target output device. Useful to ensure you are passing in the audio you actually want or to passthrough your audio without voice changing. Comparable to "monitor" settings in w-okada. Not applicable in RVC WebUI. Output converted voice: Outputs the voice conversion to the target output device. Main features RVC realtime has that w-okoda doesn't: Loudness factor controls. W-okoda seems to always use a value of 0. Significantly lower CPU usage at equivalent performance settings, in my experience. Main features that w-okoda has that RVC realtime doesn't: No system to save model presets. Input/output gain is missing. Input noise reduction is less robust compared to w-okoda, which offers echo reduction and multiple noise suppression techniques. Unlike w-okoda, you cannot passthrough to the input mic, instead requiring the use of virtual audio cable to pass the cloned voice into voice calls and microphone recording programs. In w-okoda, when the mic loudness falls below the response threshold, the tool is paused until speech is once again loud enough, saving GPU and CPU resources. RVC realtime always passes audio whenever it is running. Unlike w-okoda, you cannot monitor the cloned voice while outputting it. You can work around this by using the "listen" feature in the Windows sounds panel on a virtual audio cable instead. No built-in recording functionality. Missing most of the settings in the w-okoda "advanced settings" menu. No way to choose which GPU to run the voice model on. You can get around this by setting CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=# in a terminal before launching the tool from there, where # is the index of your target GPU (0, 1, 2, etc.).

it mostly scales w your gpu. nvidia cuda gpus work best. other gpu models won't be used, so it'll resort to your cpu

thanks for the video ,i have been using it for 2 weeks now ,but this voice changer has some problems of pronouncing certain sounds , starting from " u and o " sounds , it just can't pronounce certain words , do you have any settings that can fix these issues? When i pronounce : " wukong " ,the vc just pronounce something else like : "blerong " , and when i try to pronounce " form " , it pronounced as " ferm " , this voice changer just cant pronounce certain sounds , i don't understand why , even i used multiple different voice models , still have the same issues.

[@Molandria]

Yeah, i dont have examples off the top of my head but, too many words i say, turn into completely differemt words.

[@1shuv]

AHEM, if anyone is struggling to get it running or crashing, if your top INPUT device has (MME), go to your output and look for your sound system that you use to hear things that also has (MME), since they need to match, which is important because if you download it, it doesn't come packaged with matching MME

What Graphic card is recommended for Rvc voice changer that wont be choppy.

[@VeteranX999]

Will this work better on AMD video cards compared to W-Okada?

[@theAIsearch]

I don't have one, so I'm not sure. Let's see if anyone else can share their experience here

[@user-ei4ol4dw7i]

AMD cards have problems for some reason. When working with neural networks, some special settings or libraries are required. Not always, but often.

[@mhmdisnob]

what is the best ai voice changer for amd gpus ?

[@MrGuitarguy16]

W-okada works good with AMD gpus, BUT it does take some EXTRA messing around, like having the RVC files on the desktop, having to switch to cpu to convert your voices to ONYX, you have to do a lot of app resets at a few stages in the conversion just to clear the cache too (have to do this process for every voice conversion to ONYX). Found the delay could be changed from 380ms to the 100ms afterwards on my 7900xtx and 7950x3d, still learning and tweaking though to get it faster

[@linkyx]

@@MrGuitarguy16 have you found the best settings for it? using my AMD and honestly it isnt too bad but I'd honestly like it way better without all the lag.

you need to upgrade your gpu. Gpus with more cuda cores. I've seen people with 1080 ti and 2070 super doing ok with 3500/2500 cuda cores. Even a 3060/3060 ti is good enough.
