PyTorch Implementation of [AudioLCM]: an efficient and high-quality text-to-audio generation with latent consistency model.

We provide our implementation and pretrained models as open-source in this repository.

Visit our demo page for audio samples.

AudioLCM HuggingFace Space

• June, 2024: [AudioLCM] released in Github and HuggingFace.

We provide an example of how you can generate high-fidelity samples quickly using AudioLCM.

To try on your own dataset, simply clone this repo in your local machine provided with NVIDIA GPU + CUDA cuDNN and follow the below instructions.

Simply download the weights from Huggingface.

Download:
    audiolcm.ckpt and put it into ./ckpts  
    BigVGAN vocoder and put it into ./vocoder/logs/bigvnat16k93.5w  
    t5-v1_1-large and put it into ./ldm/modules/encoders/CLAP
    bert-base-uncased and put it into ./ldm/modules/encoders/CLAP
    CLAP_weights_2022.pth and put it into ./wav_evaluation/useful_ckpts/CLAP

See requirements in requirement.txt:

python scripts/txt2audio_for_lcm.py  --ddim_steps 2 -b configs/audiolcm.yaml --sample_rate 16000 --vocoder-ckpt  vocoder/logs/bigvnat16k93.5w --outdir results --test-dataset audiocaps  -r ckpt/audiolcm.ckpt

• We can't provide the dataset download link for copyright issues. We provide the process code to generate melspec.
• Before training, we need to construct the dataset information into a tsv file, which includes the name (id for each audio), dataset (which dataset the audio belongs to), audio_path (the path of .wav file),caption (the caption of the audio) ,mel_path (the processed melspec file path of each audio).
• We provide a tsv file of the audiocaps test set: ./audiocaps_test_16000_struct.tsv as a sample.

Assume you have already got a tsv file to link each caption to its audio_path, which means the tsv_file has "name","audio_path","dataset" and "caption" columns in it. To get the melspec of audio, run the following command, which will save mels in ./processed

python ldm/data/preprocess/mel_spec.py --tsv_path tmp.tsv

Add the duration into the tsv file

python ldm/data/preprocess/add_duration.py

Assume we have processed several datasets, and save the .tsv files in data/*.tsv . Replace data.params.spec_dir_path with the data(the directory that contain tsvs) in the config file. Then we can train VAE with the following command. If you don't have 8 gpus in your machine, you can replace --gpus 0,1,...,gpu_nums

python main.py --base configs/train/vae.yaml -t --gpus 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

The training result will be saved in ./logs/

After Training VAE, replace model.params.first_stage_config.params.ckpt_path with your trained VAE checkpoint path in the config file. Run the following command to train the Diffusion model

python main.py --base configs/autoencoder1d.yaml -t  --gpus 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

The training result will be saved in ./logs/

Please refer to Make-An-Audio

This implementation uses parts of the code from the following Github repos: Make-An-Audio CLAP, Stable Diffusion, as described in our code.
