[hts-users:03189] Re: Building a voice from scratch

Hi,

When I try to run "make mgc" or "make lf0", I have no error, but no file is created in mgc folder nor in lf0. Here is what displays exactly in the terminal for make mgc :

# Extracting MGC or MGC-LSP coefficients from raw audio

mkdir -p mgc
for raw in raw/*.raw; do \
        base=`basename ${raw} .raw`; \
        min=`/home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/x2x +sf ${raw} | /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/minmax | /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/x2x +fa | head -n 1`; \

        max=`/home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/x2x +sf ${raw} | /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/minmax | /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/x2x +fa | tail -n 1`; \
        if [ -s ${raw} -a ${min} -gt -32768 -a ${max} -lt 32767 ]; then \

            /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/x2x +sf ${raw} > tmp; \
            if [ 0       -eq 0 ]; then \
                echo "Extracting MGC coefficients from ${raw}"; \
                /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/frame -l 400    -p 80  tmp | \

            else \

                echo "Extracting MGC-LSP coefficients from ${raw}"; \
                SAMPKHZ=`expr 16000    / 1000`; \
                if [ 1      -eq 1 ]; then \
                    GAINOPT="-l"; \

                fi; \
                /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/frame -l 400    -p 80  tmp | \
                /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/window -l 400    -L 2048      -w 1  -n 1   | \
                /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/mcep -a 0.55    -c 0       -m 34    -l 2048      -e 1.0E-08 -o 4 | \

                /home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/lpc2lsp -m 34    -s ${SAMPKHZ} ${GAINOPT} -n 2048      -p 8 -d 1.0E-08 > mgc/${base}.mgc; \
            fi; \
            if [ -n "`/home/fastnet/htk_temp/bin/nan mgc/${base}.mgc`" ]; then \

                echo " Failed to extract MGC coefficients from ${raw}"; \
                rm -f mgc/${base}.mgc; \
            fi; \
        fi; \
    done
rm -f tmp


Maybe it cannot read the raw files (because they have no header) ? Thanks

hi,

 

Go to 'data' directory and run "make mgc" and "make lf0" (previously run "make straight" if you are using a STRAIGHT demo) and see what is printed.

Hi,

I am new in the domain of speech synthesis (at least in practice), and I would like to build an hts voice from the data of my lab. I first built a voice with the HTS-demo-CMU-Arctic in order to understand how it works, but now I try to use the scripts of this demo to build my own voice. I have .lab and .raw files, and I changed the makefiles and script of the demo, but I cannot build the voice. During the first steps (MGC coefficients extraction, lf0 extraction ...), no file is created, so I cannot go further.

These data have already been used to build a voice in the past, and I have some other files which have certainly been created but I don't know how, I don't know what they are and I don't know how to use them. Here is the list of these files :
beep_def.ch,
f2b_features_maps.ch,
f2b_lrdur.ch,
f2b_tobi_lrf0_model.ch,
files, mjb.about,
mjb.chatr98,
mjb.concat,
mjb_discretetables.ch,
mjb.lbg,
mjb_lrdurstats.ch,
mjb.phonetable,
mjb.prosody,
mjb.sdf,
mjb.tdf,
mjb_tobif0.ch,
mjb.udb,
mjb.vqdist,
mjb.wavlib,
mjb_weights0.ch,
pause_prediction_tree.ch,
tobi_accent_tree.ch,
tobi_boundary_tone_tree.ch

Could anyone tell me how I could use these files, or how to build the voice using raw and labels only ? Thanks
