How come models are still frequently uploaded here?

[reef shell]

is there any training colab that still works today

[keen lava]

there are, but cloud (remote good pc) shouldn’t be ur first option

could you please tell me your pc gpu and operating system?

[keen lava]

@reef shell do you still need help?

[reef shell]

how do i gain more gpu?

[keen lava]

wdym? can you tell your pc gpu and operating system?

[reef shell]

sadly i have 0 nvidia gpu

[keen lava]

do you have an amd gpu? did u check in task manager on windows?

I'm guessing not, based on your answer

#✨│ai-help message
where did you get this google colab link? it says it's restricted access

[reef shell]

yeah, i accidentally gave the copy of the link. i'll give the real link in a second

[reef shell]

there, that's the real link https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1PorBmm4bUjY1-dk4f7XKrO7Mx51wbqYU#scrollTo=w4wXvoez9Rce

[keen lava]

that seems to be a very outdated google colab notebook

don't use youtube/video tutorials

Train (make) RVC Models on cloud:

1. Prepare the Dataset
2. Setup RVC:
   Choose a cloud way to use RVC,

• Google Colabs (max 4 hours of daily T4 16gb gpu not granted for free, but easy to use, there's a paid tier):
  • Applio (UI)
  • Mainline (U, END OF LIFE)
• Kaggles (a bit harder to use and needs phone number but gives 30 hours weekly of better gpus, either T4x2 16gb each or P100 16gb, only free):
  • Applio (UI)
  • Mainline (UI, END OF LIFE)
• Lightning.ai (Kinda hard, needs login, no issue with web uis or anything, but only free 15 credits monthly, Free Studios run 24/7 but require restart every 4 hours. There's a paid tier):
  • Applio (UI)

3. Be sure to know about the tensorboard

Google Colab = Easier but risk of getting disconnected
Kaggle = Harder but more gpu time
If you want the easiest way and for free, is using https://weights.com/ which uses RVC

RVC Inference (use models) on pre-recorded audio on Cloud

You can use either:

• Weights.com: Easiest Possible Ever Automatic
• Ilaria RVC Zero: Fast and free on cloud
• Applio UI Colab: RVC Fork with some extra features like TTS
• RVC AI Cover Maker UI: Automatically Separates the Vocals and Instrumentals, converts the voice and mixes them back

[reef shell]

so applio and mainline are the only training colabs that work nowdays?

[keen lava]

applio is more suggested

and it's more suggested you use another cloud jupyter notebook service

like kaggle and lightning.ai

or weights.com

because google colab offers only random max 4 hours weekly of free gpu

[reef shell]

lightning ai and kaggle are sites where you can tain voices for free?

[keen lava]

lightning.ai and kaggle are other Cloud (remote good pc) sites to use Jupyter Notebook, which include RVC ones

if instead you want the easiest experience possible because you don't want to mess with RVC, use https://Weights.com/models

it's your choice

[reef shell]

yeah... that's the problem. i'm looking for other ways to train voices because weights completely derailed as a site and got worse.

[keen lava]

i'm looking for other ways to train voices because weights completely derailed as a site and got worse.
Weights, other than expanding to other things, still does RVC training and is sponsored by AI Hub, so what do you mean with derailed?

perhaps you mean the free limits got stricter? yeah that's true because they were paying for the GPUs to run the site, but no one paid for the service, hence losing money

https://weights.com/pricing

it's still easier to use compared to lightning.ai, kaggle and google colab,
that's why I suggested it in case you don't want to mess with RVC and things

[reef shell]

yeah. that. it used to be a fun site, untill they made unecessary updates like training models takes too long, only 20 covers a day, ads everywhere, and i can only do 1 cover until said one cover will be ready.

for that reason, i need another, easier way to train models.

[keen lava]

They weren't unnecessary, the updates were because they have to pay for running a whole server with powerful GPUs that are expensive, they have to pay to run the services, although everyone (me included) wishes for everything to be free, it was either that or even more loss of money hence shutdown

[keen lava]

There are other options, but there's nothing easier

[reef shell]

what other (free) options?

[keen lava]

The ones I mentioned above that are harder to use

[reef shell]

You mean lightening.ai, kaggle, applio and mainline?

[keen lava]

Lightning.ai, Kaggle and Google colab are the cloud Jupyter notebook services
