In this work, we aim to analyze and optimize the EnCLAP framework, a state-of-the-art model in automated audio captioning. We investigate the impact of modifying the acoustic encoder components, explore pretraining with different dataset scales, and study the effectiveness of a reranking scheme. Through extensive experimentation and quantitative analysis of generated captions, we develop EnCLAP++, an enhanced version that significantly surpasses the original.
