Necessary preprocessing for inference wav data about freevc HOT 6 OPEN

16kHz

For source wav, it is better to denoise it if it is too noisy, normalize it if the volume is too loud or too low; for target wav, it is better to trim its silent segments.

@OlaWod Thanks a lot for the answer! Understood. I'll try the above. Also, would there be a preferred sampling rate for both source and target wav?

Great, thanks for your response :)

For the target wav, do you have recommendations as to the length? Does performance of the model improve/deteriorate with longer target wavs? If so, where's the sweet spot?

haven't explored yet, but I think longer target wav might contain longer silent, which can deteriorate the performance. I think the sweet spot is a target wav that is not too short and contain almost no silent.
