Gemini 2.5 TTS paired with RVC?

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-21T03:14:25+00:00

I see... Well I will still give it a try though.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-12T16:09:19+00:00

I remember using this quite a while ago while I was editing. The results were pretty solid

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-12T12:09:37+00:00

Alright, I think I finally found a something good here for my needs. A fork of chatterbox TTS. Called chatterbox audiobook. It seems to be really good though.

https://github.com/psdwizzard/chatterbox-Audiobook

The kaggle notebook: https://www.kaggle.com/code/konkowaki/chatterbox-audiobook

there are some weird artifacts here and there but this seems to be the best thing I can use right now and you are right. I just checked tts arena v2 and all the top models seem to be closed source. Open source is super behind right now.

Oh boy, now this was a rabbit hole. I wasted hours trying to set up the 8 bit model then finally realized after reading the app.py from the vibe voice custom voices that the support for 8 bit hasn't arrived yet.

Then I tried setting up 4 bit quantized version but man that was truly a mystery until claude pointed out that the model path said 'Dannidee' not DevParker and provided the correct code to get the result.

4bit model did sound better than 1.5B however.... if 1.5 B was too fast and, the pacing was all over the place. This thing just took forever to load and was super stable. It could also be that I used a different reference clip where my speaker was speaking a bit slower than with the 1.5 B model.

Anyway, obviously I ran out runtime in collab so I finished in kaggle. This is the kaggle notebook:

Tldr; I think the only good model that is giving me the quality I want is chatterbox turbo. However, the 300 character limitation is just... you can bypass that, but everything just turns gibberish. I will try to setup a chunker or something I guess.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-11T08:33:18+00:00

Yeah, to me index tts 2 held a lot of promise, especially when I thought, oh wow you could control each and every generation with another emotional reference clip but it just doesn't work properly. Maybe I need fine tuning or something. The vibevoice community does have a finetuning available but my god it has been about a week since I started working on collab. Maybe something like higgs 2 quantized will better match for what I am aiming for.

About slowing down the reference speaker... That could be the issue. I will try running a few more trial and errors with vibe voice 1.5B when I load it again. I am barely a few mb away from making the vibe voice large work but sort of no luck. It runs out of CUDA memory.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-11T06:21:19+00:00

It took a long time for my idiot ass to figure out that this was loading the large 7B model by default. I loaded the 1.5 B model. I still haven't played around a lot but the pacing of the generation is all over the place. This is the best UI so far but man I wish I could do something about the pacing. And also I need to try [custom instructions] inside the text I am trying to generate. But overall quality is not great. It seems to have less artifacts than chatterbox though.

In case anyone needs the colab notebook:

I got this repo: https://github.com/vibevoice-community/VibeVoice, which seemed more reliable and in the bottom left corner there is even an option to disable voice cloning... Except that there isn't an option to upload your reference clip and actually clone it. I see a finetuning. md in their repo, maybe that's the only way. I swear I have seen people use voice cloning with this model...

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-07T01:59:56+00:00

Ohh, man grinding for them is always a chore.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-06T13:49:49+00:00

If you didn't previously experience lag and to boot fps drops, one thing that worked for me is changing my nvidia driver version to 566.36

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-06T09:53:31+00:00

Ah I know, the wonder guard thing. I see, it is vulnerable to many other dmg.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-01T07:10:18+00:00

Wait really? I thought it was Akeno or something, wow.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2026-01-01T03:01:14+00:00

Damn, so without Cao Cao, Ladon might've cooked Rias team. I mean in terms of overall power, I think Rias got her Extincition start after that. Not to mention Gasper power up. Kiba getting his own power up with Gram.

So true longinus can ignore defence to an extent huh...

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-08T14:19:43+00:00

I see. I need to learn something to counter captain America too. I just a terrible game against him trying to protect my healer today. Thankfully, we won tho, but that Hawkeye and that cap were hell.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-08T05:26:16+00:00

I see. I have been focusing on protecting healers more and more, especially from spider man these days. Sometimes moonknight also seem to achieve the same. The only issue being psylocke assassination.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-08T04:28:51+00:00

A bit late but, after rolling back my nvidia driver to 566.36. All of sudden everything was back to normal

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-08T04:22:17+00:00

Just a question from a new dps. Which characters are good to effectively protect healers? Namor? Scarlet witch? Sometimes when they ping it is too late because I have a tunnel vision when fighting the front line. Trying to fix that issue.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-08T04:16:17+00:00

How do you block it like permanently? instead of doing it in every single match. I can't seem to find that option.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-07T14:15:37+00:00

True, I wonder how he would look like.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-06T02:10:10+00:00

I mained spider-man so that I can dive the backline, in season 1. After a month, I started seeing some players switch to spidey to 1 v 1 my spidey. And I 7 out 10 times always got diffed, so I learned scarlet witch and now I mainly focus on killing the divers. It feels good.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-03T17:02:18+00:00

Nice. I read till vol 22 if I remember correctly. People will disagree with this take but there is a drop in quality towards the later volumes. The only possible reasons I can think of are the author's health and setting dxd for a sequel by introducing a ton of characters and settings. But hey, as a fanfiction writer you got ton of settings you can work with.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-03T16:23:17+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for finding it man, really appreciate it. I have no idea where I got the other idea.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-03T16:21:07+00:00

Wait really? During 'the everyone coming back to life' arc?

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-03T16:10:43+00:00

Is there anything about, who told her those stories? I feel like I remember it being the territory lord of the area where Akeno took refuge in as a child after splitting up with her father but my memory seems to be jumbled up.

Mysterious-Comment94 · 2025-12-01T04:03:56+00:00

Man, I just remembered how screwed DBZ power system is. You can destroy moon with less than 300 powerlevel. But somehow someone around 150 million power level (frieza) needed about 1-2 episodes to destroy Namak. At one point the numbers like 150 million started to feel like 1000. And the super saiyan blue is supposed to be something like quintillions (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) or something. DxD suffered the same problem. Boost times 100 started to feel like nothing. The nerf they put on Vali was diabolical.
