(Note: OBS caps this at 500ms, so you must stack **two** Render Delay filters: one at 500ms and another at 250ms).\n\u003e * **Desktop Audio:** Click the gear icon in the Audio Mixer -\u003e *Advanced Audio Properties* -\u003e find your Desktop Audio and set the *Sync Offset* to 750ms.\n\n---\n\n## Model Performance\nThe plugin relies on a pruned and quantised int8 ONNX model to achieve real-time inference in just ~0.3 ms per buffer. \n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"images/AI_Inference.png\" alt=\"AI_Inference\" width=\"500\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n### ROC \nThe pruned and quantised model has better performance in both inference time and ability on the test set (it is better generalised).\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"images/roc_curve_comparison1.png\" alt=\"roc_curve_comparison\" width=\"500\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n### Dataset Energies\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"images/dataset_energy_comparison.png\" alt=\"dataset_energy_comparison\" width=\"500\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n### Training Loss \n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"images/loss_curve.png\" alt=\"loss_curve\" width=\"500\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdan-k-k%2Fvocal-gate","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdan-k-k%2Fvocal-gate","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdan-k-k%2Fvocal-gate/lists"}
