Rewrite (some formatting will be done later), some information changed, and made for Windows+Nvidia only now : To see the guide from before the changes go to rentry.co/VoiceChangerOG

This means AMD/Mac was removed, but the information still exists from the link above.

Tutorial


This Tutorial is for "manual" install for the voice changer, it fixes bugs, and runs better from the prebuilts. Quick instructions can be found here: https://github.com/VTArcelia/okada

You need the following : Python 3.10.11 (added to path), Git, MS Build Tools ("Desktop Development with C++" which should have MSVC VS 2022 & Win10/11 SDK) and any chrome based browser, to open the interface, 127.0.0.1:18888 this is shown on the bat file that will be used.

After you have all prerequisites it's fairly easy, on my Github repo there is an automated installer, that all you have to do is answer what it asks you, and thats it.

https://github.com/VTArcelia/okada/blob/main/Okada.bat is the bat file that will open up the voice changer for you, as well as download the repo, install all of its requirements, and keep it updated.


Virtual Audio Cable (mandatory)


VAC (Virtual-Audio-Cable by Muzychenko) - this virtual cable is called Line 1 on In/Output, if you look it up yourself make sure you get the LITE version it'll come as a ZIP.

It is also the preferred Virtual Cable as it's lower latency, and it doesn't mess with audio quality. If you are using an XLR interface, and it has a loopback feature, you do not need a virtual audio cable, as that's the same thing.

Just remember that when you do install the virtual cable it can take over your default audio devices, so you may lose sound, all you have to do is open your windows sound control panel and change it back to what you had before.


Audio Setup


S. Threshold: The minimum required sound for it to start converting audio, if you raise IN Gain at the top nothing you do here will matter. If its below it is considered silence, hence the name Silence Threshhold

Voice Changer

INPUT - Your Microphone
OUTPUT - Virtual Audio Cable
MONITOR - Headphones if you want to have listen to it as well

volume controls in the voice changer

Input should always be 1.0 or lower, there is never a good reason to raise this.
Output volume is 1.0 or higher, you raise this to get to a good volume level.

Game \ Discord

INPUT - Virtual Audio Cable
OUTPUT - Headphones

If you do not have headphones, earbuds, or iems, you will cause an echo and every sound will most likely go back into the voice changer, even 1$ earbuds is better than using your speakers.

Bluetooth devices can also have some issues, if you have it too loud it'll also do the same thing.


How to Find Settings for Gaming


  • Start with the very basic settings for gaming 128 Chunk with 32768 Extra
    • Launch whatever game you want to be playing, and CAP YOUR FPS ideally use RTSS but you can use Nvidia Control Panel or the in game settings to do so
    • With your FPS capped in game you should change your output in okada to your headphones, so you can hear any audio glitches that will happen when you mess with the chunk value, you will ideally decrease it to as low of a value as you can without it doing the following
      • massive frame drops when you talk (this can still happen depending on how chaotic your game gets, hence why we cap fps so you are already giving yourself headroom)
      • causing the voice to stutter or repeat itself multiple times in a row
    • Whatever value you find here should be the values you always use, just get used to the delay it has, and never worry about it again. this should be done on your main game.
  • Lastly you can mess with the Extra value, aka something that can increase clarity on your voice, it's not much but keep in mind it does use more CPU usage the higher it goes.

Since this is the manual install of okada, extra shouldnt really bother your system, but your mileage may vary.

The reason why we start with these settings is because we don't want to use 100% of our gpu without even having a game open. You should be aiming for around 20% gpu usage, and around the same for CPU usage, some games are GPU heavy, some are CPU heavy.

If you have your settings too "fast" example: say you have 48 chunk, and you are using 90% gpu, the game will attempt to use it and will without a doubt, cause your voice to bug out, whether its cutting in and out, staticy, or just outright not even work.

If your cpu usage is too high, then you could have similar issues, but you can do the same fix by lowering extra, so from 32768 to 16384, you should never need to go below 8192, if you do, you are better off not even running the voice changer in my opinion.

Advanced Settings

Protocol : Rest
Crossfade 4096 start 0.2 end 0.8
Trancate 300
Silencefront Off
Protect 0.5
RVC Quality Low, changing to high CRANKS that GPU and CPU usage, for basically no real difference


Crackle Fixes Part 1


open task manager hit details

right click audiodg.exe and set Priority to HIGH

right click it again and press set affinity and only have an EVEN number CPU core set, 2 is what I use. AKA everything unchecked except CPU 2

This gets rid of any potential static or crackles from happening.

ProcessLasso can make the audiodg.exe setting continuously reapply every boot


Crackle Fixes Part 2


In discord go to voice and video settings and find the following things

Echo Cancellation : Turn this off, when testing in voice & video it causes your voice to cut in and out when you are testing in Voice & Video settings, and with a voice changer since it has a delay, will never work

Audio Subsystem : Legacy if you are still experiencing crackles, if not Standard.
