How to Install MOSS-Audio: AI That Listens, Captions, and Explains Audio

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]every once in a while another app comes along that kind of sparks things up again and you go hey this is sort of like the old days or at least that's been my experience and I'm going to tell you uh today new thing um well you know in the last couple weeks new thing do come out is what is called Moss audio okay very cool captioning software um if you've ever worked with Joy caption you remember that joy caption you throw in um images right and it captions it tells you what's in the image, the different aspects. It's good for role playing.

[00:00:32]It's good for recreation of images. U mostly, you know, one of the big things is for training of Lauras because you want to train a model on a particular thing. Now, what uh this is doing over here is this moss audio is doing that with your videos, with your audio, all of that. So that we can actually start getting to the next level here. Oh my gosh. Maybe even training our own audio luras. Hang in there. Let's talk more about it just now.

[00:01:16]All right. Well, welcome back to Get Going Fast where um we're in this AI hobby, you know, for the glory, the guts and the glory cuz we like doing this kind of stuff, man. like tapping around on the um the keyboard, learning a few things, and sometimes you just want to make stuff, right? And uh so I'm here for you. All right? No matter what you're doing. And we're going to be looking, as I said, at the um Moss Audio, okay? Which is by this team I'm out here. It's called Ma Mosy.

[00:01:47]Not Not Most Eley, but that is like most eye. Uh they should have put an L after there, dude. mostly.

[00:01:55]Anyway, um Hive of Villain and Scum. I'm sure these guys are much better. They put together a great app. Um again, essentially what this is doing, I'm going to go over here and show you the guey here, is um it is actually just taking whatever you throw in it, whether it's your audio, whether it's your video. I have added onto here, um the ability to use YouTube URL, uh as well as to do stuff batch. So, a lot of stuff going here, but essentially throw your stuff in here and get things like this where it explains it. Look at it. Even explains the music. An instrumental hip-hop track rooted in the trap genre.

[00:02:31]Unfolds over, you know, however many seconds. Built on a foundation, blah blah blah blah. Okay, that's kind of verbose, but you know, the point is it got it. We can look at some of this other stuff. Look at what we got here. I threw in somebody reading a chapter of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I asked it down here, transcribe the audio with timestamps. And guess what?

[00:02:52]It did it. And it didn't take that long either. Okay. So, incredibly powerful thing. Um, you could be using for all sorts of stuff. Um, you could throw stuff in here and just say, "Hey, summarize this." You're going to notice in here under the prompt, you can really write whatever you want. You can say, "Summarize this article. Do you think it's a man or a woman speaking?"

[00:03:14]You can isolate um sounds in the background. So, say you've got a thing and you've got uh wind in the background, you know, like because you're training, it needs to know every little sound. So, uh and it'll pick up that wind is blowing or a dog barks in the background or a car passes away.

[00:03:30]It'll actually be able to parse that stuff. This is an incredible app. Um I have marked this as uh one of my favorite apps over here at getgoingfast.pro.

[00:03:41]Um, one of the things that I do here over at the tools, you can always click here and you can find uh there's a button here that says editor's favorites and it always shows what are my absolute favorite apps. And I have added this one to it because um it's it's it's really fun. It's it's good and it's getting me excited to want to um train LTX with it.

[00:04:06]So, sure, I'm probably going to have to spend some money to uh to, you know, get a run pod or something like that, but for this case, it's kind of worth it because it's got me interested, which is what this hobby is really about. It's about finding stuff that you're fascinated um with. So, really easy here. Um let me see if there's any other features that I'm going to show you, and then I'll show you how to install it. Uh do so here you can put your URL and it downloads it. Notice over here we've got a processing terminal. We can actually open that up so you can see what's happening. Um it doesn't really say it says it's generating but you know so you might be like hey is this still running?

[00:04:49]So often you can just pop open that terminal just to make sure it's still working. Um obviously this is where your output is. It does save it to a file. Um over here you put in your prompt. So, this is like describe the audio, you know, what type of person is uh is speaking, you know, all this kind of, you know, what a lot of different stuff that you can talk to it about. Notice also I've got a little button here. It says uh when you get a larger file in there, you can actually save um chunks.

[00:05:18]So, I will say once we get this thing going, be careful about throwing too large of files in there. I I said let just you know I was like hey yolo let it ride I threw in a one gigabyte file and I about killed my computer and then I was like you know what chunk batching would be better so you can throw in larger files this will chunk it for you.

[00:05:44]Okay by the way that's uh you can thank get going fast for that. We added that feature to the app. Okay so we're like a little raora fish. You ever seen that?

[00:05:54]You get the big sharks and you get these little raoras. They come and they clean the shark. That's what we're doing over here. Uh cleaning this up for you. Okay.

[00:06:02]All right. Any rate, uh you can go on, you can see how this goes. And then you've got your advanced settings if you want to play with it. Um you can do set your, you know, your tokens higher or lower. If it's getting too much output, put it down. Okay. Um you can change the temperature. again, the precision of words versus a creative fluidity of words. Okay, that's what that does. The higher the the temperature, the more creative words it's going to use. The lower the temperature, more precise it's going to be. Um, these other ones I wouldn't ever even touch and you can play with that. Now, notice down here we've got batch processing. And this is where I'm saying you can type in a folder name and if that folder has both audio or video in it, it will go through each file and it will create a text file of the same name. Okay? So like if it's you got a file called 001.mpp3, you will get a 001 point.txt. or if you had a 002.mpp4, which would be a video file, you would get a um 002 txt. That of course is important for when you're training things because when you're training, you need to have a folder that has the thing that you're training it on plus the text. Okay? I mean, that's that's another topic, but I'm just letting you know this app does it. We take care of it for you over here. Now the um default app does not look like this nor does it have um these features. Okay. Uh again this is a get going fast guey but the good news is that um I went ahead and I uploaded it to here and I given you instructions. So if you we're going to follow this all right you can go over of course to getgoingfast.pro.

[00:08:00]All right. And do that search for uh do that search for um MOSA audio captioning. And if you're a member, you get it'll do it all for you right off the bat. Or if you want us want to buy it once, you can do it all done for you.

[00:08:14]But I've put everything up here as well.

[00:08:17]Okay. So, uh you know, this is this is a good I don't always put everything up, but this is a really important and good app.

[00:08:28]So, you know, I wanted to give it to you all. All right, let's uh with that said, let's get into it and I'm going to show you how to actually do the install.

[00:08:39]We're going to go step by step every single thing you could imagine. We'll do it right now.

[00:08:49]>> First thing we're going to do is we're going to pop over uh to our browser and you're going to go to github.com and then you're going to go to my repository here. Now, uh I'm going to go ahead and put this in the um the description or whatever. So, you can get this link and um this is this is the other repository, but I've added stuff to it. Okay, so we got stuff in here. So, we're going to go down here. If we scroll all the way down, you can see this is all the original stuff. So, you can find all the information on there, but I've gone ahead and put some instructions on how to install this version of it here. So, what we're going to do is follow these bad boys right here. Hi.

[00:09:30]Okay. So, let's uh open up our command prompt as usual. Okay.

[00:09:38]Warp. I'm going to make this a little bit bigger there. Put down there. Okay.

[00:09:43]Now, if we um go back to our browser, you can see we need to get clone this as usual. That means that we need to get the repository down. So, I'm going to do a couple things. I'm going to highlight this and I'm going to copy this. Okay, because I want to get close. But I I'm going to do one step first. I'm going to go over to my command prompt. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to type mkdir. That means make directory. And I'm going to put temp. I'm going to just make a temp directory. Now, normally I would put this in like an AI tools folder. You could say like NKDIR uh AI tools and it would do the same thing. Okay. Uh but I just we'll put it in a temp file since for me this is just a template uh for the video. I'm going to type cd temp. That means change directory to the temp directory. And now if I type diir which means directory.

[00:10:33]There's nothing there. Okay, cool. So now going back to here, I'm going to grab this line, this git clone. Going to go over here and I'm going to paste that in there. Now, the importance of git is what git does. This this right here is an app that we're calling. This is if your system is set up correctly, you will have this installed.

[00:10:58]If you don't have it installed correctly, then you need to go to get going fast and get the system checker at checker.getgoingfast get going fast and it'll it'll get uh tell you what the problem is and then you can get setup.getgoing.pro.

[00:11:10]It'll get your system set up for you.

[00:11:11]All right. Anyway, um so get is the program we're calling it.

[00:11:16]We type in get and then we tell it what we want it to do. We want it to clone.

[00:11:20]Okay. And what do we want to clone?

[00:11:22]Well, we want to clone this directory.

[00:11:24]And what it will do is it will create a folder with that part there. It'll ignore this.get, but it'll create that folder. So, let's go ahead and press enter. See it clones in there. Goes from like that. Okay. Comes down. Now she's all done. Oops. Hold on. Just a second.

[00:11:42]What did I do?

[00:11:44]All right. There you go. Now, um, now what if we can do is we, uh, can type our diir. And we'll see that it created that directory. So, our next instructions say right here, CD Moss Audio GGF. So, let's grab that. go back over to here and we'll just paste it in with pressingt control +v. And what this is going to do is it's going to put us in the directory. That's what cd stands for. Change directory. There we go.

[00:12:10]Okay. Now we see we're in the d on for me I'm on the d drive but then in the temp drive and then in the moss audio.

[00:12:18]If I type diir now you'll see all the files that we just downloaded that we get cloned.

[00:12:27]So, all right, we're on the path. Next thing we're going to do is we're going to go back over here and it says python-im.

[00:12:35]Essentially, what this is is that we're creating a virtual environment. So, um we have what's called our base system.

[00:12:45]Our base system is like when we install Windows, it's what makes everything work the way it is. It's working good. Hey.

[00:12:51]Um then we create what are called virtual environments so that we can play. It's like a playroom. It's like given a room to the kids and you've put cellophane on the walls or something.

[00:13:00]You put you put paper on the walls and give them crayons to say, "Hey, go write on the walls. Who cares, right?" Um, and it doesn't matter because when they're done, you can just pull the paper down.

[00:13:10]That's what a virtual environment does.

[00:13:11]It keeps your system clean from things you're trying. It also keeps the things you're trying clean from your base system. Vital. Okay. If you pollute your system, you're not a happy camper. Uh so let's go back over to here and we'll run this. Python of course is the app that we're running. That's you know the uh the programming language that we're using, but it can also be used as an app. We put this dash m which just means we want to use something as a module like an app within an app kind of thing.

[00:13:42]Um a program within a program and we're going to call vim.

[00:13:47]So we're saying hey python I want you to run vim. And then we're sending to Vim.

[00:13:52]We're saying, "Hey, Vim, I want you to create a virtual environment." And you can call it Vim. We could call it whatever we want. I could call it my favorite virtual environment ever if I wanted, but then I would have to type that out every time. I don't want to do that. So, what you do is just call it and then if people see it, they know what it is. So, I'm going to go ahead and press that.

[00:14:13]I'll let that that's going to go create that. And then you notice over here, um, I still have to activate it. So, we'll uh we'll copy this over here. Get this ready.

[00:14:24]Go here. Okay. So, look at it's all done. So, now I'm going to type in this.

[00:14:29]I'm going to say call. Call is a Windows command. It means basically go and execute something. Um go find this thing and run it is what that's saying. Uh so, I'm saying call this folder. Go into the Vim folder that we just created. Then inside of that folder, there's another folder called scripts. And then inside of that folder, there is a file called activate. Um, and that's going to activate our virtual environment. So now I'm going to hit enter. And notice now we're in the virtual environment right there. You can see it. If I press enter a bunch, see it all is there. You can see all that V. So that tells you you're in the virtual environment. Now, um, a side note, after this is done being installed and you've ran it for the first time, when you come back to run it again, like tomorrow or another day, you have to activate the virtual environment.

[00:15:21]Okay, before you run it because the ver that's where the app is actually going to be installed.

[00:15:27]Okay, let's go back over here. And now what we got to do is we need to uh start installing our dependencies. So, first thing we'll do is we'll just grab this uh command. Essentially, you always just kind of want to update your tools. It's um what we're doing is the package installer, which I will explain later.

[00:15:49]The package installer that installs our dependencies. We want to make sure we have the latest version. So, we type Python and then remember we're saying, hey, I want you to call an app within an app sort of thing. Would you call pip and then I want pip to uh we're typing in pip. I want you to install something.

[00:16:05]I want you to And then we're giving it this d-upgrade. That means I want you to install something. It's going to be an upgrade. Okay? So, it's not something new. I want you to upgrade. I want you to get the newest of something. Um, and then the app is going to upgrade is pip.

[00:16:19]So, we're basically saying, "Hey, pip update yourself." Okay? That's what that does. So, we go through that and notice it's going to uninstall it. And then it reinstalled it. So, it went from version 23 to 26 right there. All right. Now we'll go over here. Now we get into some of the big boys. So this is a torch thing here. Okay. So torch of course is our CUDA. CUDA is um what makes our computers our AI go fast. Okay. It's an Nvidia thing and it's like um say you had a bunch of Legos and you have you have to pick them up but you're like oh it takes me so long. But say you trained a robot specifically on nothing but um picking up Legos. that thing is like. So that's what CUDA is with AI. It's um it's uh optimize. Okay. Very powerful.

[00:17:12]So let's go back over to our command prompt.

[00:17:18]Can you guys see that? Yeah. Okay. Now I'm going to hit I'm going to hit CLS.

[00:17:22]That means clear screen. Clear screen.

[00:17:25]Clear mind. Now I'm going to go controlV. Okay. Now notice what we're doing. I'm calling pip. Remember before I had Python call pip, right? Because theoretically since we were installing pip, pip can't really install itself.

[00:17:38]You can't call it and then say, hey, you're going to have to shut yourself down. Um, so, hey, I need you to update yourself.

[00:17:48]And to update yourself, you're going to have to be shut down while you do some work on yourself. That doesn't make sense. You can't do that. So, what that Python-m did was essentially Python saying, "Hey, I'm going to make I'm going to open up a copy of pip. then it can go and update itself over here while I'm keeping this version of it open.

[00:18:04]When we do it like this, we're just straight calling pip. We're just going, "Hey, pip, I want you to install this thing." We put this, we're saying, "I want you to install something, but I want you to get it from a particular language." That's I mean language from particular location. That's what that is. And then here we say this is the location. And then we're saying once you actually download this, I want you to install it. Uh I want you to install it.

[00:18:27]So that's actually kind of a funky command. Normally we wouldn't use a um longer command like that but for this project uh we are. Okay.

[00:18:38]So basically it's downloading and installing itself.

[00:18:42]All right. So that's going to come down there. And this always takes a little bit of time. CUDA is just one of those things. Um you always have to install it when you're doing these programs and it always takes time. Okay. So it's one of the longer things. While we're waiting for that though, we can go over here, get our next instructions, and we're going to grab this thing called uh torch codec, which is going to help with the uh audio stuff as well. So, let's go over here.

[00:19:09]And notice we've still got quite a bit of time. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to pause the video and we will be right we'll be right back.

[00:19:21]And we're back. So uh let's go ahead and controlV this one. Notice this time we're going to pip install torch codec.

[00:19:29]So this was a much easier one. Hey pip, I want you to install court torch codec.

[00:19:33]We're not telling it where to go. Uh hey, I'll tell you where to go. No, we ain't telling it where to go. Um we're just saying go get whatever version. So that means it'll actually get the newest version. By the way, this is why sometimes your apps stop working um when they've been working before because when you pip install something, you don't give it a version, it grabs the latest.

[00:19:55]So, if they update it and it changes stuff, that means you go to load an old app, it tries to load a dependency and that dependency has changed and it doesn't work. Okay. Anyway, that one's free. You can have that. You can hear that one. All right. Um little bit of information for you. So, okay, we've installed Torch Kodak. Now, we're going to go ahead and install this hug and face hub.

[00:20:19]I now um we'll go back over here. Oh, we didn't actually install the port torch correct. Let's hit enter really quick.

[00:20:25]That'll take just a second. There we go.

[00:20:28]Now, I'm going to type CLS. Clear the screen and once again, oh, I didn't get it that time. Let's There we go.

[00:20:37]Now, we're going to pip install two things. Notice there's a space and a thing. So, we're actually going to pip install YTDLP. That's going to help us get videos. Um, and then we're also going to install hug and face hub CLI. So, hugging and face hub is um what it does is it goes to hugging face where the models live. So, just like how GitHub is a repository for the files, right? Like that's where you go to get these files. GitHub hugging faces like that but for the actual AI models. Think of it like this. GitHub stores the app, okay? Or the shell and or the logic, right? Kind of behind this and the uh hugging face stores the brain the mind the intelligence what what actually does the uh you know the AI itself hug your face. Boy, I feel like I should have been easier for me to get that out.

[00:21:34]Okay. So, now hitting enter will go ahead and uh install those two things.

[00:21:41]Again, these things can take a little bit of time. Oh, that took not very much time at all, but uh there it is. So, let's go back over. We're getting close.

[00:21:53]So, we need to get um these models. So, we're going to copy this. It's kind of a big command.

[00:22:01]Excuse me. Boy, I had the hiccups there all of a sudden. Uh, okay. Now, notice what we're doing. We just installed that hugandface hub, right? Now, we're going to call it hf download and then we're giving it a repository. So, if you went to hugenface.co and then added all of this, it would actually take you to the location. So, we're going to this is their hugenface place just like you can get your this is their account and this is the model that we're grabbing. And then we're using this d-local do the middle of diir to say that we want to download it to a particular place. So we're saying don't just download it to where I'm at. I want you to put it somewhere. And what we did here is we put this dot which means the location I'm in.

[00:22:51]Then in a folder called weights and then in a folder called moss audio for v instruct. Okay. So we're saying put it in a folder called weights is what we're doing. So, we'll go ahead and hit enter.

[00:23:02]This one's going to take a bit of time because uh it's got to download a bunch of models.

[00:23:10]So, there you go. So, that's going to go like that. I'll probably pause this uh so that we don't have to um wait for this.

[00:23:20]But, uh while we're doing that, let's go over here once those those models will take a while. They're they're not small.

[00:23:27]Okay.

[00:23:29]got them fast, not slow. Um, they take a while. All right, so we're gonna go over here and grab this and we'll go back over to our uh command prompt. I'm going to go ahead and cancel that out.

[00:23:51]Now that that's uh done and cleared out, we'll paste this last one in. So, copy this. And what we're doing here is we're setting a variable. Okay. So, what we're doing is we're telling it um where the model's at. Set is setting a variable. The variable name is MOSS audio model ID. And then what we're doing here is we're saying that equals.

[00:24:16]So, that means that's the location this location.

[00:24:19]So that way then later on when the app's looking for say hey where do I find the model in the app somewhere this is actually used. Okay. So we set it do um we press enter. All right. Very easy. I mean that's like the easiest command at all for your computer. All right. Going back to here now. Check out. All you got to do now is go to pythonapp.py.

[00:24:48]So go back to your command prompt.

[00:24:51]You're in your virtual environment.

[00:24:55]You paste in um app.py like that. So the Python is your is your uh what do you call it? Um that's your uh that's your programming language. Boy, sometimes my brain just turns south. Anyway, uh you type that, it'll load up and then you go it'll load up to this. you know, the same same thing that we had over here. All right.

[00:25:20]Uh you load your things, do your stuff, you got it going. Um not that difficult of an install. A good one to practice with. Um powerful app. Before we wrap up, I want to show you uh this app over here that we have for members to get going fast. I will be releasing this soon. If you'd like to get on the early list for this, let me know and I will give you a link. But essentially what you can do with this is you can log in to your get going fast um account. We've got all sorts of things here for you to convert images, take first frame, last frame, convert videos, but one of the most powerful things for this for members here is the ability to search the catalog. So notice if I'm in here, I've logged in. I'm a farm hand. I click MOSS audio captioning. All I got to do is click this download install. It recognizes that I'm logged in.

[00:26:13]brings up uh brings up the installer.

[00:26:16]You'll see it pop up here in just a second. There you go.

[00:26:20]Get me over here. Get my foolish self out of here. And you see, you just put yourself in the choose the folder that you want to install it. Press okay. And it actually will um start to install it. See, it puts it here. I could give it I'm going to call this uh we'll call it Moss audio test.

[00:26:42]Okay, it'll actually create that folder and then um run the installer for you.

[00:26:48]Uh I appreciate you guys being around here. Hope you enjoy Moss Audio Captioning. Really great app. Okay, very cool stuff. Um again, one of my new favorites. This I love utility stuff like this. This is fun to me and like I said, it's got me wanting to train LTX2.3, which is great. Anytime your hobby produces something that gets you all uh excited again, that's a good thing. Hey.

[00:27:16]All right, you guys hang in there. I sure enjoy hanging out with you and doing this. You guys are the best, man.

[00:27:23]Uh if you did like the video, I appreciate you liking um sharing, subscribing, word of mouth, telling people about it. Say, "Hey man, getting to get going fast. Let's do some AI." Y.

[00:27:34]All right. You can always hit that special thanks button down there if you want to give me a special thanks. You're like, "Man, that really helped." You go yo, bro. Um, meanwhile, come over to the Discord as well. We're always over there hanging out. You're welcome to come chill with us and uh just chat during the day. All right? But the more you chat, the more you get chatted back. So, come and be part of that. Meanwhile, you guys be good to yourself. uh be good to others and you know call your mom, tell her you love her and you're thinking about her cuz I'm sure she's thinking about you. All right, with that said, we will catch you on the other side. L.
