steve-adminandClaude Sonnet 5 d890736445 Add De-accent/Volume/Whisper/Nonverbal tasks and a Flash/Base model toggle
Four more AuK tasks exposed in the Pipeline Studio (vendor/AuK/docs/
COOKBOOK.md sections 3.3, 4.3-4.5), grouped in a collapsed accordion so
they do not crowd the main flow:

- De-accent: remove a regional accent, keep the voice.
- Volume: simple +/-5/10/15 dB.
- Whisper conversion: speech <-> a soft whisper, same content/speaker.
- Nonverbal editing: add/remove breaths, laughs, coughs - directly
  relevant to this project's original brief (make a character sound
  surprised or laugh). Needs an explicit --gen_seconds like Speed does,
  but unlike Speed there is no way to auto-derive the target (add/remove
  both change duration unpredictably per AuK's own cookbook) - defaults
  to the current reference's own duration if left blank.

Also added a Flash/Base model toggle (ckpts/AuK-Flash, downloaded - same
architecture distilled to 4 fixed steps with CFG=0, ~4.6GB since it
shares the Qwen text encoder with Base rather than needing its own
copy). Verified end-to-end: 37s wall-clock including model load vs the
60-90s+ typical for Base on similar edits. Intended workflow: draft and
iterate fast with Flash, confirm the take you are actually keeping with
Base before promoting a voice or emotion - surfaced as an explicit
reminder in the emotion-candidate flow, which defaults to Flash since
that one is inherently exploratory.

audio-demo

Audio processing demos: WhisperX, Demucs, and TTS technology proofs-of-concept.

Structure

  • whisperx/ — speech-to-text with word-level alignment and diarization
  • demucs/ — source separation (vocals/instrumentals stem splitting)
  • tts/ — text-to-speech service demos (voice cloning via MOSS-TTS)
  • auk/ — voice editing demos (emotion/pitch/speed/content editing on existing recordings, as opposed to tts/'s clone-and-generate approach)
  • webui/ — interactive pipeline studio chaining demucs -> AuK -> MOSS-TTS with previews

Each subdirectory has its own README with setup and run instructions.

Requirements

Some demos are GPU-accelerated and are best run on a CUDA-capable machine (e.g. an RTX 3090).

Planned: full audio-translation demo

Chain the three demos together on media-files/ into an end-to-end pipeline:

  1. demucs — separate the source clip into vocals / instrumental stems
  2. whisperx — transcribe the isolated vocal stem, then machine-translate the transcript
  3. tts — clone the original speaker's voice (from the isolated vocal stem) and synthesize the translated text in that voice, then remix with the original instrumental stem

Stem separation and transcription are already working end to end (see demucs/README.md and whisperx/README.md); translation and voice-cloning TTS are not yet implemented.
