Voicebank Installation Problems

Man_It · May 11, 2021, 6:07pm

Hi, I’m kind of new getting into DeepVocal, so I’m having some trouble with the installation of the voice banks.

I did the standard installation of DeepVocal, so I see the singer folder in ProgramFiles(x86)/DeepVocal, and put the voice banks in the singer folder. Although when I open up Deepvoice, I don’t see any option for any of the singers I put in the folder, it’s just a blank.

Can anyone help me with this? I tried everything I could think of, even reinstalling the previous versions of DeepVocal.

Much appreciated if someone could help out. Been wrapping my head around this for some time now.

Are you putting the voicebanks in separate folders inside DeepVocal/singers?
Your singers folder need to look like this

Yep, but sadly, somehow its not working

Please ensure that the folder containing the voicebank has the necessary SKC, SKI, and voice.sksd, and that they are not in a subfolder. Additionally, try running DeepVocal in administrator mode.

Thank you guys for helping out! I really appreciate it! I finally got it to work now! So happy right now that it’s working properly!

I checked and did each of your guys’ suggestion and realised another main problem why it wasn’t working… I downloaded the voiceband files on a Mac (because of faster internet connection) and unzipped them there, but then I transferred the unzipped voicebank folders to windows. The voicebank folders I used from the Mac didn’t work. Although when I directly downloaded (which took a long time) and unzipped the folders on Windows, it worked! I guess, unzipping folders on different operating systems rewrote the formatting of the files so DeepVocal couldn’t recognise the voicebank folders. Oh well, lesson learned.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions! I’m just really happy right now that it’s working!
