I just recently started playing with Coqui XTTS and I have to say my results have been horrid. I am familiar with 11labs, and have always had great results. My background is originally in audio/video production, so I am very capable of giving it whatever exact formats it needs, however my results so far sound NOTHING like the source material. Very robotic, very distorted. I am assume from all the gushing I have seen regarding this tool that it must be user error. Currently I am just using it as a extension on Oobabooga as that was the easiest way to get it up with a UI. Please let me know any tips and tricks you guys have learned! Thank you!
Current workflow:
Record in Adobe Audition
24bit, sample rate 22050
WAV Format
I had to go back to the previous version that’s on huggingface to get good audio. Somehow the latest version sounds much worse.
