# Sheikh Muhammad Refaat (RVC v2) - 250 Epochs

This is a high-quality RVC v2 model of **Sheikh Muhammad Refaat**, trained on 30 minutes of restored vintage audio. 

## Usage Recommendations
To get the authentic "Vintage Radio" sound, use these settings in RVC/Applio:

* **Pitch (Transpose):**
    * `-2` or `-3` (If your voice is higher/younger).
    * `0` (If using a professional imitator as input).
* **Index Rate:** `0.75` (Critical for the grainy texture).
* **Resample:** `0` (Do not change).
* **Protect Voiceless Consonants:** `0.33` (Keeps breathing natural).
* **Hop Length:** `128` (Better for slow recitation).

##  Pipeline for Best Results
Since Sheikh Refaat has a unique Maqam style, do not use your own voice directly.
1.  Find a recording of **Sheikh Muhammad Omran** (imitating Refaat).
2.  Remove reverb using UVR5.
3.  Use that clean audio as the input for this model.

## Files Included
* `.pth`: The model weights (250 Epochs).
* `.index`: The feature index (Essential for texture).
