# Music2Latent |
|
Encode and decode audio samples to/from compressed representations! Useful for efficient generative modelling applications and for other downstream tasks. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Read the ISMIR 2024 paper [here](https://arxiv.org/). |
|
|
|
Under the hood, __Music2Latent__ uses a __Consistency Autoencoder__ model to efficiently encode and decode audio samples. |
|
|
|
44.1 kHz audio is encoded into a sequence of __~10 Hz__, and each of the latents has 64 channels. |
|
48 kHz audio can also be encoded, which results in a sequence of ~12 Hz. |
|
A generative model can then be trained on these embeddings, or they can be used for other downstream tasks. |
|
|
|
Music2Latent was trained on __music__ and on __speech__. Refer to the [paper](https://arxiv.org/) for more details. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
pip install music2latent |
|
``` |
|
The model weights will be downloaded automatically the first time the code is run. |
|
|
|
|
|
## How to use |
|
To encode and decode audio samples to/from latent embeddings: |
|
```bash |
|
audio_path = librosa.example('trumpet') |
|
wv, sr = librosa.load(audio_path, sr=44100) |
|
|
|
from music2latent import EncoderDecoder |
|
encdec = EncoderDecoder() |
|
|
|
latent = encdec.encode(wv) |
|
# latent has shape (batch_size/audio_channels, dim (64), sequence_length) |
|
|
|
wv_rec = encdec.decode(latent) |
|
``` |
|
To extract encoder features to use in downstream tasks: |
|
```bash |
|
features = encoder.encode(wv, extract_features=True) |
|
``` |
|
These features are extracted before the encoder bottleneck, and thus have more channels (contain more information) than the latents used for reconstruction. It will not be possible to directly decode these features back to audio. |
|
|
|
music2latent supports more advanced usage, including GPU memory management controls. Please refer to __tutorial.ipynb__. |
