# AudioLDM ## Overview AudioLDM was proposed in [AudioLDM: Text-to-Audio Generation with Latent Diffusion Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12503) by Haohe Liu et al. Inspired by [Stable Diffusion](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/api/pipelines/stable_diffusion/overview), AudioLDM is a text-to-audio _latent diffusion model (LDM)_ that learns continuous audio representations from [CLAP](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/clap) latents. AudioLDM takes a text prompt as input and predicts the corresponding audio. It can generate text-conditional sound effects, human speech and music. This pipeline was contributed by [sanchit-gandhi](https://huggingface.co/sanchit-gandhi). The original codebase can be found [here](https://github.com/haoheliu/AudioLDM). ## Text-to-Audio The [`AudioLDMPipeline`] can be used to load pre-trained weights from [cvssp/audioldm](https://huggingface.co/cvssp/audioldm) and generate text-conditional audio outputs: ```python from diffusers import AudioLDMPipeline import torch import scipy repo_id = "cvssp/audioldm" pipe = AudioLDMPipeline.from_pretrained(repo_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16) pipe = pipe.to("cuda") prompt = "Techno music with a strong, upbeat tempo and high melodic riffs" audio = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=10, audio_length_in_s=5.0).audios[0] # save the audio sample as a .wav file scipy.io.wavfile.write("techno.wav", rate=16000, data=audio) ``` ### Tips Prompts: * Descriptive prompt inputs work best: you can use adjectives to describe the sound (e.g. "high quality" or "clear") and make the prompt context specific (e.g., "water stream in a forest" instead of "stream"). * It's best to use general terms like 'cat' or 'dog' instead of specific names or abstract objects that the model may not be familiar with. Inference: * The _quality_ of the predicted audio sample can be controlled by the `num_inference_steps` argument: higher steps give higher quality audio at the expense of slower inference. * The _length_ of the predicted audio sample can be controlled by varying the `audio_length_in_s` argument. ### How to load and use different schedulers The AudioLDM pipeline uses [`DDIMScheduler`] scheduler by default. But `diffusers` provides many other schedulers that can be used with the AudioLDM pipeline such as [`PNDMScheduler`], [`LMSDiscreteScheduler`], [`EulerDiscreteScheduler`], [`EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler`] etc. We recommend using the [`DPMSolverMultistepScheduler`] as it's currently the fastest scheduler there is. To use a different scheduler, you can either change it via the [`ConfigMixin.from_config`] method, or pass the `scheduler` argument to the `from_pretrained` method of the pipeline. For example, to use the [`DPMSolverMultistepScheduler`], you can do the following: ```python >>> from diffusers import AudioLDMPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler >>> import torch >>> pipeline = AudioLDMPipeline.from_pretrained("cvssp/audioldm", torch_dtype=torch.float16) >>> pipeline.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipeline.scheduler.config) >>> # or >>> dpm_scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_pretrained("cvssp/audioldm", subfolder="scheduler") >>> pipeline = AudioLDMPipeline.from_pretrained("cvssp/audioldm", scheduler=dpm_scheduler, torch_dtype=torch.float16) ``` ## AudioLDMPipeline [[autodoc]] AudioLDMPipeline - all - __call__
