Real-Time Voice Changing: A Comprehensive Guide

Real-time voice changing has become a reality, and the best part is that it's now available for free with minimal performance impact. In this article, we'll take you through the process of setting up and using real-time voice changing software, its various applications, and how to optimize its performance.

Setting Up and Installing Real-Time Voice Changing

To get started, you'll need to download the software from the provided link. The download page is in Japanese, but you can easily navigate through it to select the correct version for your computer. There are three versions available: Mac and two Windows versions (one for AMD and one for normal computers). Choose the correct version based on your computer's graphics card or specifications. For this example, we'll be using the Windows Cuda version.

Downloading and Unzipping the Software

Once you've downloaded the selected version, you'll need to unzip the file. The file is quite large, so be patient during the download process. It's recommended to unzip the file to a new folder, such as a directory named "Voice Changing". You can use software like 7-Zip to extract the files.

Extracting the Files

Right-click on the extracted folder and select "Extract Here" to extract the files. This will create a new folder with the extracted files. If you're using Windows 11, you'll need to right-click the extracted folder, go to "Show more options", and then select "7-Zip" and "Extract here" to extract the contents.

Once the extraction is complete, you can open the folder and find the "start_http" or "start_https" file at the bottom. Double-clicking this file will open a command prompt and start downloading dependencies. Wait for the download to finish, and then a Windows security alert will pop up. Click "Allow access" to give the program permission to run. The program will then install the necessary dependencies and present you with a UI.

If you don't see the UI at first, try restarting the program and closing any other running applications. Once the UI is open, you can select one of the presets, such as "RVC" (Real-Time Voice Changer), to try out the real-time voice changing feature. The RVC preset comes with a selection of preloaded voices, and you can also download additional voices by clicking on the "Download" button in the UI. To switch to a different voice, simply select it from the available options in the RVC preset.

Setting Up and Using DeepVoice

DeepVoice is a powerful tool that allows you to add your own pre-trained voice models for better results. The performance and settings will depend on your computer's capabilities, graphics card, and processing power. For example, those with 30 series cards (like 3090 or 40 series cards) can adjust settings for better results.

You can also adjust feature detection to optimize results. The author recommends setting it to "Harvest" for better results. Additionally, you can run DeepVoice as a client or a server, with the server mode providing better results. To run as a server, change your microphone selection to ensure it's from the same bracket group, select your speaker output, and press start to begin processing the voice.

You can also adjust audio settings to optimize the AI voice output. The author recommends changing the delay to 5.12 for better results. DeepVoice can be used by YouTubers and streamers to add AI-generated voices to their content. The processing or chunk used will determine the output.

Using DeepVoice with OBS for Streaming and Recording

DeepVoice can be used with OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) for streaming and recording. The render delay calculated in OBS is important to ensure proper rendering of video and audio. The audio and video streams must match up perfectly, which is important for a smooth streaming and recording experience.

Using OBS for V-Tubing and VR Chat

OBS is a popular streaming and recording software that can be used for V-Tubing and VR Chat. It allows for customization of audio and video settings, allowing users to tailor their stream to their needs.

Using OBS as a Microphone

OBS can be used as a microphone with the help of a Go XLR audio interface or Voice Meter software mixer. Voice Meter can be used to route audio output to the virtual microphone input. A diagram will be provided to illustrate how to set up Voice Meter to use as a microphone in OBS.

Audio Output

The music output is being sent to the broadcast, but the microphone output is not. The Broadcast Remix is registered as a microphone, allowing it to be used in Discord, VR Chat, and other platforms.

Compatibility

The system is compatible with voice training software, allowing users to experiment with different voice models. Users can also find and use online voice models to enhance their stream. The speaker output is being used as the virtual microphone output for the Four Builds and Ones, allowing for a unique audio experience.

In conclusion, real-time voice changing is a powerful tool that can be used in various applications, including V-Tubing, VR Chat, and streaming. With the right settings and computer capabilities, DeepVoice can provide high-quality AI-generated voices for various applications.
