This repository contains training and inference scripts for the Descript Audio Codec (.dac), a high fidelity general neural audio codec, introduced in the paper titled High-Fidelity Audio Compression with Improved RVQGAN.
📈 Demo Site
⚙ Model Weights
👉 With Descript Audio Codec, you can compress 44.1 KHz audio into discrete codes at a low 8 kbps bitrate.
🤌 That's approximately 90x compression while maintaining exceptional fidelity and minimizing artifacts.
💪 Our universal model works on all domains (speech, environment, music, etc.), making it widely applicable to generative modeling of all audio.
👌 It can be used as a drop-in replacement for EnCodec for all audio language modeling applications (such as AudioLMs, MusicLMs, MusicGen, etc.)
pip install descript-audio-codec
OR
pip install git+https://github.com/descriptinc/descript-audio-codec
Weights are released as part of this repo under MIT license.
They are automatically downloaded when you first run encode or decode command. They can be cached locally with
python3 -m dac download
We provide a Dockerfile that installs all required dependencies for encoding and decoding. The build process caches model weights inside the image. This allows the image to be used without an internet connection. Please refer to instructions below.
python3 -m dac encode /path/to/input --output /path/to/output/codes
This command will create .dac files with the same name as the input files.
It will also preserve the directory structure relative to input root and
re-create it in the output directory. Please use python -m dac encode --help
for more options.
python3 -m dac decode /path/to/output/codes --output /path/to/reconstructed_input
This command will create .wav files with the same name as the input files.
It will also preserve the directory structure relative to input root and
re-create it in the output directory. Please use python -m dac decode --help
for more options.

Building the image.
docker build -t dac . -
Using the image.
Usage on CPU:
docker run dac <command>Usage on GPU:
docker run --gpus=all dac <command><command>can be one of the compression and reconstruction commands listed above. For example, if you want to run compression,docker run --gpus=all dac python3 -m dac encode ...
The baseline model configuration can be trained using the following commands.
Please install the correct dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python scripts/train.py --args.load conf/ablations/baseline.yml --save_path runs/baseline/
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1
torchrun --nproc_per_node gpu scripts/train.py --args.load conf/ablations/baseline.yml --save_path runs/baseline/
We provide two test scripts to test CLI + training functionality. Please make sure that the trainig pre-requisites are satisfied before launching these tests. To launch these tests please run
python -m pytest tests
