Welcome to the exciting world of text-to-audio generation with Tango 2. Inspired by the power of diffusion models, Tango 2 elevates your ability to create audio content from written prompts efficiently. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps required to get started with Tango 2, allowing you to transform text into audio with ease!

What is Tango 2?

Tango 2 is a cutting-edge model that builds upon its predecessor, Tango, leveraging a preference dataset called audio-alpaca to enhance the audio output quality. With alignment training facilitated through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), Tango 2 is designed for efficient and high-quality text-to-audio generation.

Quickstart Guide

Here’s how to download the Tango 2 model and generate audio from a text prompt:

Step 1: Download the Model

Before you start generating audio, ensure you have the necessary libraries installed. You can begin by downloading Tango 2 directly from the repository.

Step 2: Code to Generate Audio

Using Tango 2 to generate an audio file is simple. Here’s a quick snippet of the code you will need:

python
import IPython
import soundfile as sf
from tango import Tango

tango = Tango('declare-lab/tango2')
prompt = "An audience cheering and clapping"
audio = tango.generate(prompt)

sf.write(f'prompt.wav', audio, samplerate=16000)
IPython.display.Audio(data=audio, rate=16000)

Understanding the Code

Imagine Tango 2 as a magical chef that can create a delicious audio dish by following your recipe (or text prompt). The above code works like this:

• First, you import the required ingredients (libraries): IPython for audio display and soundfile for writing audio files.
• You then call your chef (the Tango class), providing it with the essential formula (model path) to create the audio.
• Next, you offer the chef your desired dish detail (the prompt) – in this case, cheering and clapping sounds.
• By invoking the chef’s magic (the generate function), a delectable audio is prepared and saved as a WAV file.
• Lastly, the finished dish is displayed for you to enjoy!

Generating Higher Quality Audio

The default configuration of the generate function uses 100 steps. For a richer audio experience, you may consider upping this to 200 steps by adjusting the code:

python
prompt = "Rolling thunder with lightning strikes"
audio = tango.generate(prompt, steps=200)
IPython.display.Audio(data=audio, rate=16000)

Generating Multiple Audio Samples

If you want to generate several audio pieces at once, just use the generate_for_batch function:

python
prompts = [
    "A car engine revving",
    "A dog barks and rustles with some clicking",
    "Water flowing and trickling"
]
audios = tango.generate_for_batch(prompts, samples=2)

This command allows you to produce two audio samples for each text prompt in the list, enriching your collection of soundscapes.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while using Tango 2, here’s what you can do:

• Ensure all required libraries are properly installed. You can verify this by running pip install for each library.
• If you experience slow performance, double-check the number of steps you are using for generation; larger values can increase processing time.
• Clear your cache if your audio model fails to download properly. Sometimes, corrupted cache files can cause issues.
