AGC (Audiogen Codec) is a convolutional autoencoder based on the DAC architecture, which holds SOTA. We found that training with EMA and adding a perceptual loss term with CLAP features improved performance. These codecs, being low compression, outperform Meta's EnCodec and DAC on general audio as validated from internal blind ELO games. We trained (relatively) very low compression codecs in the pursuit of solving a core issue regarding general music and audio generation, low acoustic quality, and audible artifacts, which hinder industry use for these models. ...
