Wavenext-mel-22khz
Model Details
Model Description
Wavenext is a modification of Vocos, where the last ISTFT layer is replaced with a a trainable linear layer that can directly predict speech waveform samples.
This version of Wavenext uses 80-bin mel spectrograms as acoustic features which are widespread in the TTS domain since the introduction of hifi-gan The goal of this model is to provide an alternative to hifi-gan that is faster and compatible with the acoustic output of several TTS models.
Intended Uses and limitations
The model is aimed to serve as a vocoder to synthesize audio waveforms from mel spectrograms. Is trained to generate speech and if is used in other audio domain is possible that the model won't produce high quality samples.
Usage
Installation
To use Wavenext only in inference mode, install it using:
pip install git+https://github.com/langtech-bsc/wavenext_pytorch
Reconstruct audio from mel-spectrogram
import torch
from vocos import Vocos
vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("BSC-LT/wavenext-mel")
mel = torch.randn(1, 80, 256) # B, C, T
audio = vocos.decode(mel)
Copy-synthesis from a file:
import torchaudio
y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
if y.size(0) > 1: # mix to mono
y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=22050)
y_hat = vocos(y)

Training Details
Training Data
The model was trained on 4 speech datasets
Dataset | Language | Hours |
---|---|---|
LibriTTS-r | en | 585 |
LJSpeech | en | 24 |
Festcat | ca | 22 |
OpenSLR69 | ca | 5 |
Training Procedure
The model was trained for 1M steps and 96 epochs with a batch size of 16 for stability. We used a Cosine scheduler with a initial learning rate of 1e-4. We also modified the mel spectrogram loss to use 128 bins and fmax of 11025 instead of the same input mel spectrogram.
Training Hyperparameters
- initial_learning_rate: 1e-4
- scheduler: cosine without warmup or restarts
- mel_loss_coeff: 45
- mrd_loss_coeff: 0.1
- batch_size: 16
- num_samples: 16384
Evaluation
Evaluation was done using the metrics on the original repo, after 96 epochs we achieve:
- val_loss: 3.79
- f1_score: 0.94
- mel_loss: 0.27
- periodicity_loss:0.128
- pesq_score: 3.27
- pitch_loss: 31.33
- utmos_score: 3.20
