 The `--voice` argument can also take a plain wav file as input for voice cloning.
 You can use your own or check out our [voice repository](https://huggingface.co/kyutai/tts-voices).
+We recommend [cleaning the sample](https://podcast.adobe.com/en/enhance) before using it with Pocket TTS, because the audio quality of the sample is also reproduced.
 
 Feel free to check out the [generate documentation](https://github.com/kyutai-labs/pocket-tts/tree/main/docs/generate.md) for more details and examples.
 For trying multiple voices and prompts quickly, prefer using the `serve` command.
