# LTXVAudioVAEEncode - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The LTXV Audio VAE Encode node takes an audio input and compresses it into a smaller, latent representation using a specified Audio VAE model.

The LTXV Audio VAE Encode node takes an audio input and compresses it into a smaller, latent representation using a specified Audio VAE model. This process is essential for generating or manipulating audio within a latent space workflow, as it converts raw audio data into a format that other nodes in the pipeline can understand and process.

## Inputs

| Parameter | Description | Data Type | Required | Range |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `audio` | The audio to be encoded. | AUDIO | Yes | - |
| `audio_vae` | The Audio VAE model to use for encoding. | VAE | Yes | - |

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description | Data Type |
| - | - | - |
| `Audio Latent` | The compressed latent representation of the input audio. The output includes the latent samples, the sample rate of the VAE model, and a type identifier. | LATENT |
