Practical overview
When it fits
Use the precompiled tool for supported 48 kHz WAV files, the Python framework for Python-based enhancement or model work, and the LADSPA/PipeWire integration for a real-time microphone path.
Who it is for
- People processing noisy 48 kHz WAV recordings.
- Audio application developers exploring speech enhancement components.
- Linux users configuring real-time microphone noise reduction through PipeWire and LADSPA.
- Researchers and developers preparing datasets or training speech-enhancement models.
Documented uses
- Suppress noise in supported WAV recordings using the precompiled command-line tool.
- Use the Python package and PyTorch backend for audio enhancement workflows.
- Integrate a noise-suppression microphone path using the LADSPA plugin and PipeWire filter-chain integration.
- Prepare speech, noise and room-impulse-response datasets and train models.
Requirements & limits
- The precompiled deep-filter binary is documented for 48 kHz WAV inputs.
- The Python installation requires PyTorch; the training extra is described as Linux-only.
- The framework is described as supporting Linux, macOS and Windows, while training is tested only under Linux.
- The bundled demo’s run instructions are Linux-only and require Rust nightly.
- The repository separates file processing, Python framework components, Rust audio/data components and real-time LADSPA integration.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Suppress noise in a 48 kHz WAV file with the precompiled binary
Process noisy WAV audio with the documented command-line tool.
Before you start
- A precompiled deep-filter binary downloaded from the project’s release page.
- A noisy WAV file sampled at 48 kHz.
Steps
Download the precompiled binary from the DeepFilterNet releases page.
Run deep-filter with the WAV file as its input; optionally set an output directory with -o.
Expected outcome
The tool processes the input WAV and writes output to the selected directory, or to its default out directory.
Guide limitations
- The documented binary supports WAV files sampled at 48 kHz.
- The command-line binary is distinct from the Python backend and framework installation.
