Hey, first of all, as I've been silently watching for a long time, amazing work! I'm a live event technical director and audiovisual engineer and own a post-prod (color grading and mixing) studio in France. I've been migrating to Fairlight for mixing and been looking for some videos about pros using the desktop mixing console and your videos are making such a huge service to the profession, 'cause without your careful analysis there would be absolutely no infos about it. AAF and XML are a nightmare and I truly believe Fairlight, for audio to pictures, have the ability to replace ProTools, and so I completely switched my whole facility to it. I'm currently working on 30 hours of audio I got to clean, it's archive audio recorded on camcorders through a decade without proper care or technical knowledge and it's all other the place and interviews in the most noisy places, using RX 9 advanced that I know very well and appreciate over RX 8 Advanced I was using before, but on this project, it's so clunky, there's so many things to correct, it leaves so many artifacts, the processing time is a nightmare, I cannot get rid of the damn hums in a way that doesn't leave RX trademark noise print/artifacts and reduce the damn clarity that is not so present to begin with. It's dreadful. So after watching your videos I downloaded the plugin's trial and gave it a try and compared it to the treatment I did in RX, and would you know it, I arrived to a better result with completely fine and near inaudible artifacts in a matter of stupid seconds!!!! And the clarity, it's ridiculous, it works so brilliantly and live and so simple. So I just bought it using your affiliate link, thanks for the great work, honestly, it's gonna make my life much MUCH easier, I'm am very impressed!
Fabien, thanks so much for the kind words and taking the time to share with the community. I'm glad that my video helped you decide to try Clarity and even more so for using my links. You're a legend.
Tried this and I think I like it more than what dialogue isolate in RX9 can achieve! It’s better at recognising breaths as dialogue than dialogue isolate does IMO.
As I mentioned many times and in the comments below this video was about real time reduction. RX 9 you had to process offline in the app. It wouldn’t be a fair comparison.
bought VX standard and a/b ing against klevgrand brusfi for a voiceover track. Clarity is immediately "clearer" on the noise in my room, PC & PS fans. Brusfi has more options, seems to retain more pleasing low mids maybe and does a good job in general, but Clarity standard version seems to do a good /better job with one mouse dial. Clarity after Brusfri cleans up everything.
It is a game changer Unbelievable, for 29 its amazing. I find that the pro isn't really necessary for my needs. I do like the fact that you could keep the ambient sound only. I've needed that before only a few times.
So why mention it again? 😜 As I’ve mentioned, that was an error on my behalf but RX Dialogue Isolate isn’t a real time plugin which was what I was comparing. I still don’t think isolate is as good as Clarity is most situations. Thanks for your contribution.
Check out those high beams!!!... I didn't think the studio was that cold. So does anyone have a good idea for a 'noisy' sign off catch phrase? Remember the current prices are introductory prices, so grab your copy quick!.. PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY USING MY AFFILIATE LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION!
I don't think Waves will raise the "initial price" ;) The experience with Waves plugins contradicts this :) I bought "Clarity Vx" and it is much better than NS-1, but I will wait for the Pro version until Black Friday ;) Waves = constantly promotions :)
Sure you can hear how Clarity affects the voice, and yes, there are artefacts! If I had used RX in your examples, I would probably have used de-hum and later most likely dialogue-isolate, and I wouldn't have used the music, but the dialogue algorithm. It's almost as if you used your RX expertise to the advantage of Clarity. But that is certainly only a superficial impression, of course ;-) Personally, I use RX and C-suite C-vox. A dream team.
I still use RX all the time. This was just a comparison of how to quickly clean up your dialogue. I didn't notice when recording the video I had the music not dialogue algorithm set. That was my bad. Each tool has their own use cases. It's definitely not an RX killer. They all have their place. I use tools like Clear as well these days.
I just bought this and I am happy with it. I wanted to get additional info but listening to this video and hearing the amateurish music behind it is extremely annoying.. I would consider supporting the channel if you took out the noise
Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. You’re the first out of thousands to complain about the music. I think at this stage I’ll keep doing what I’m doing but I appreciate you taking the time to let me know why you didn’t support the channel.
I would use RX Voice Isolate over Voice DeNoise - I own both, just bought clarity, money will test on existing footage, will let you know. RX Voice Isolate is pretty amazing.
I’ve said it in the video and replied to a lot of comments. This was a real-time test. You can use Dialogue Isolate without sending it to RX and doing an offline process. I don’t disagree that it great but it’s not as easy at clarity. They are all good for different things but honestly I’m still blown away by Clarity. I’m using it as a clip effect on Resolve and it’s killer when cleaning up dialogue.
Rx9 advanced has so many surgical tools to only use one seems unfair. Maybe this vs rx9 elements is a better comp if only using adaptive mode. I’m starting a feature tomorrow….gonna put this to the test tho.
I totally agree with this statement, but as I said in the review/overview I'm comparing their real-time plugin. I don't think it's fair to compare importing your audio and using the suite of plugins within RX editor and having to print your effects. The fact that you can get the reduction quality you can with a real-time plugin is amazing.
@@benniknop I'm curious what you think of the Clarity Vx lite version compared to the Voice De-Noise. The lite version have very noticeable artifacts compared to the Pro version from my own tests. I still think it's better than Voice De-Noise. It also works in real-time.
@@Hzuuuu my plan is to do tests with it and make a video this week. Let me get back to you. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notified.
For real-time, RX is stuck with Voice De-noise. If real-time isn't a requirement, then RX Spectral De-noise is much better at cleaning things up. I have a video on my channel comparing RX8 Voice De-noise to CEDAR Audio. The CEDAR does way better. It would be interesting to see how this Waves plugin does against CEDAR. There is also something to be said for the DNS8D being a rack mount 8 channel device so you don't need to rely on a laptop running your plugins in a live situation, as well...
Hey, Christopher. I've asked iZotope several times now if it's possible to use voice denoise or other nodule in real time instead of a noise gate but they said their plugins are not meant for real time but then they have adaptive mode which seems to be a real time processing option so I'm confused. Have you tried using voice denoise in real time without much latency and do you have a video on it ? All the best.
@@igorsenayoutube I used Voice De-noise in real-time for months before switching to the CEDAR. In my video you see it running in real-time as well. But I don't use adaptive mode as mentioned in the video, since it wasn't smart enough to detect no signal when the gate in front of it closed. The Spectral De-noise plugin is NOT suitable for real-time, as also mentioned in the video. With all the quality settings cranked to max, it adds over two seconds of latency. Even at minimal quality settings (which is basically useless from a sound quality point of view), it has non-zero latency. Edit to add: the video I reference is on my channel, comparing RX Voice De-noise to a CEDAR DNS 8D. I missed that this was a reply in a different channel...
Acon Digital Dialog extract is the Izotope killer. I've had a, chance to compare it with RX and Acon Digital Dialog extract. Both are better sounding. With Acon still being the most transparent.
Have you got a video or some audio samples we can hear? I'll have to get a copy of Icon and have a play. I've been an RX user from the beginning and although I don't think it's fair to just compare the voice de-noise plugin, I want to keep it true to real-time processing.
You're welcome to try - Clarity Vx is MUCH better than Dialogue:Extract - AND it does it at 4096 latency, against almost 13,000 latency for Acon. No comparison - in sound, performance, features and latency.
Thanks for pointing this out. Apologies for not giving RX the right representation. I never have it on the Music selection but I did a pretest on the 'Cafe Background Music Scene' before I recorded the demo and left it on. I'm going to do a video for the standard version soon. I'll correct that for the next comparison.
@@machoman7655 clarity is a cpu killer for sure. You can only have a few of instances and then the computer craps itself. I’m using it on a live music concert. Great for bleed from the band. Better for quick and simple projects.
Yeah mate... I can see that Clarity is good but, honestly... you weren't really using the best iZotope module by comparison. Also... you have the Izotope module set to Music instead of the Dialogue mode... cheers for the intro but I'll download the demo and compare for myself I think.
I don't disagree. You can achieve a lot more with RX audio editor BUT this was a real-time comparison and I wanted people to see how easy Clarity is and how quick you can get good results. You definitely can't get results like this with RX without doing offline processing. Thanks for pointing out the music mode. Other's have as well. I always have it in dialogue mode but before I started the demo recording, I checked music mode for the last 'Cafe Background Music Scene' and didn't notice during the recording. I'm going to compare the standard version of Clarity soon and I'll make sure I don't make the same mistake.
I have Vx (non-Pro, just the big knob) and it is just outstanding. I find that 70-80% works best, with very little artifacting. Best $29 I've ever spent on a plug-in. Waves has a winner here. I still use other RX-10 functions, but not it's de-noiser. I suspect Waves will drop the Pro's price soon, because honestly, It's not worth 8x the regular Vx, maybe 2X as it just gives you a bit more control.
Just curious if you are able to run two instances of Waves Clarity Vx? I'm only testing it out, have an 8 Core 4GHz and 32GB Ram Win 10 PC-- and as soon as I try to put clarity Vx on a second stereo track my DAW either shuts down playback or (Pro Tools) reports not enough CPU. Seems like I'd have to put it on a Master or Bus channel and print the cleaned up tracks, then disable the plugin to do anything else?
@@marcov9581 I’ve found this a little hit and miss. On my Mac in Resolve I could maybe get two instances on my PC I can get 4 but some times it chocks a little. Might be best to do an offline process of it and print the changes.
Very subtly. I like to use a small amount of Vocal Rider to just bring up some of the quieter dialogue but mostly bring down the louder dialogue before I compress is a little. This is after I've done noise reduction. LoAir is great on your LFE channel.
The ordinary version is an amazing plugin, shame I can't use it on my new M1 Mac though. Come on Waves for goodness sake. I'll even pay your "update plan" of another $29 if you do the conversion.
Wow, as a realtime tool, it's pretty impressive. I wonder how good it would be on different sources, for example an acoustic guitar recorded with some street noise. Also, I guess a great comparison would be about a full cleanup, without workflow restrictions (i.e. use all the tools in the RX suite), and check what gets you the best faster (or just the "best" results).
It’s only made for voice so I don’t think an acoustic would work. I’d be interested to test this on a live band performance to get rid of cymbal bleed. I think it’ll work a treat.
These neural network noise removals are usually only tuned for one thing so acoustic guitar wouldn't work unless it was specifically designed to do so. Putting acoustic guitars through this will result in no sound sadly.
It seems to me you could use a combination of the $29 version of Clarity with a noise gate (and maybe Waves's W43) to approximate what the pro plugin is offering. So I'm not sure spending $200+ more for the pro version is worth it.
I completely agree, the Vx is fantastic, you get very little for 8x the price with the Pro version. Seems oddly priced to me. I suspect the Pro version will be down to $49 or $59 soon.
Thanks for pointing this out. Apologies for not giving RX the right representation. I never have it on the Music selection but I did a pretest on the 'Cafe Background Music Scene' before I recorded the demo and left it on. I'm going to do a video for the standard version soon.

@@benniknop all good dude, i am doing location sound ,and i start using iztope denoise since RX5 , diff setting yield pretty diff outcome , but for sure i admit for mild to moderate ,RX is not best sounding denoise software
@@joinwoo1 RX is a killer bit of software. If you have the time and know how it does amazing things. This comparison was more about real-time and when you don't have the luxury of time, how do you get good results?.. I think #ClarityVx is the way to go for a quick real-time alternative. I think it sounds great. I was a bit shocked to be honest.
Excellent Video on how to use Clarity VXPRO this was very helpful to me to understand how to use the tool better. Are you using RX plugins with Davinci ? Or do you have to buy the Izotope program ?
I was skeptical when they first told me they were doing noise reduction and that they have a game changer but I’m sold. I won’t be getting rid of RX but for a quick and easy fix on projects and for some noise that RX just can’t get rid of… I’ll be pulling out Clarity
This was just an example of real time correction and to show off the plugin. I use whatever tool is best for the job in productions. I don’t use spectral demonise often. I don’t like what it does to the dialogue. On occasion it is the right tool though.
I noticed you've set RX's Voice De-noise to "Music", instead of "Dialogue" (better). I always end up using the Spectral Denoise feature in RX, even on voices/lectures/speakers... you have much more granular control over the algos used, especially for extremely 'dirty' recordings.
The crazy thing is how long it took for the audio industry to figure this out. This tech has been out for a few years now, even being a in popular chat apps like Discord.
I'd really love to use this in Davinci like it seems you are! But my copy of Clarity Vx doesn't do anything when I try to apply it as an effect in Davinci. It works fine in Premiere... any help? On macOS Big Sur
GReat Video....I noticed you are using Davinci Resolve ............Does WAVES CLARITY VX PRO work or is a plugin with davinci....How do you install to Davinci?
Can someone please explain HOW to install this in Edius 9.5 (as VST plugin) or Adobe Preniere 2022? I download the clarity plugin demo via waves central but seems i can;t make it....Please ....
I'm planning on making a video of the standard version of Clarity Vx, I might use that time to use dialogue isolate as well on these samples and see how it does. This test was more about real-time noise reduction.
Thanks Is it possible to isolate individual people singing, for example a male and a female singing together and maybe acoustic guitar playing too? I wanted to isolate two voices, male and female from a jam a friend sent me, so i can pan them and add effects etc
You could probably isolate the voices from the acoustic but not from each other. You’re asking a lot of any software at that point. Maybe one day AI will be good enough
Just for clarification: When using the RX plugin, why did you leave it set to "music" instead of "dialogue" with the optimization setting? It seems like that was tipping the scale a bit against Izotope, by not using it the way it was meant to be used.
That was an error on my behalf. I never use the music setting. I just had tested the music scene with the setting before shooting and didn’t change it back.
For the lazy yess....cause clients don't care what happens in audio post. All they want is profits...and move on to next project. And make more money. Truth!!!!
Hello ! I haz a question , it might be a tough one... I use a voice FX changer.. quite a few ppl i know do these days for using with our animated avatars... some ppl using Vocal Bender, some ppl are using Polyverse Manipulator, some ppl using the all in one thingy like Morphvox... what would be the best type of plugin to use in the chain after a vocal fx changer to clean up any artifacts made by the Vocal Bender or Manipulator plugins.... there has to be something, because i know these voice fx plugins have been around a while with Izotope vocal synth and little alter boy... if you have any sort of suggestion that would be great and i will give you a sub lol. i was looking at this plugin but probably not what i am looking for as it seems to be for room or atmosphere noise adjustment.
That's a difficult question when I don't know exactly what artefacts you're trying to get rid off. I'd use the Izotope RX suite do deal with most of this. It's great for getting rid of clicks and pops. Does it make it sound more mp3 like? Have you got some examples?
@@benniknop I know it is really hard question, sorry, my voice is on my page here. I think it might be kind of an impossible question as what we are doing is kind of experimental i guess. Have you tried Antares SoundSoap yet? i noticed they just released a new version a month or so ago, Yes i should get RX suite on the next sale and try that as well, thanks for the reply.
I tried this and thank god I only got the demo, because I was honestly disappointed. The plugin chewed up and ate half of my voice. I ended up using Wave's x-noise which is fine but not perfect. So disappointed, I'm seeing other UA-camrs gives this a thumbs up, however I feel like it depends on the voice, I have a husky voice so I'm having a hard time finding the right noise plug-in.
Considering during your RX attempt first, you had it set to MUSIC, not DIALOGUE, so not really an endorsement for or against RX. I bought Clarity VX way before seeing this post, and will never use any other plugin for avoiding ADR, and I'm in now way with my previous comment, promoting RX, by any means, but your test should have been focused on Dialogue during RX test.
Thanks Thomas, It's been pointed out many times and that was my mistake due to running a test before shooting and forgetting to put it back. I still stand by this plugin as well as RX. They both have their place.
A question. Do you duck music volume so it does not compete with dialog. It seems you are not. Makes is quite distracting because on top of you reading of teleprompter and sounding robotic, background music that its not needed in teh first place is competing with your voice. I would suggest you ditch the teleprompter and speak like you normally would, which you do when you record the screen to demo. Looks and sounds much better. As for music, ither get rid of distracting and unnecessary background music, or duck it when your voice is heard. Cheers!
Appreciate the feedback. I'm not really doing anything different to some of the bigger youtubers. I'll make sure I keep an eye on the music so it is less distracting on future videos. I tend to only use music on intros and outros but it depends on the content. I don't often use a teleprompter but I did on the main intro camera. I've just watched it back again and I don't personally agree and haven't had anyone else comment on it. The main reason I use it is to make sure the script is quality, not repetitive but also keeps my editing times down so I can make more content. Does anyone else have an issue with me using the teleprompter? Thanks for the feedback Krunoslav.
@@benniknop No problem. About ducking music so it doesn't interfere with the voiceover, or dialog, if you have iZotope RX you can open up your video clip and you can even see it visually. Its pretty obvious how the dialog is burried under tones of other sound, the music. And that is what I can hear when I watch the video here. Its quite distracting and its not just me saying it, the iZotope RX or any program that can show it in spectograph can show you visually the problem. Sadly I can't post screenshots here on youtube to show you, but trust me, its there and its obvious. That is why I didn't even have to look at it, I could hear it. If you don't hear it, probably its that your "ear" is not trained... yet. If you are interested in ducking, again I can't post a screenshot here to illustrate, but here are some useful resources: The Davinci resolve release 15.1 and newer has Audio Ducking throgh Sidechain. Under Fairlight page --> Dynamics --> Compressor --> SideChain. The SideChain option now has 'Send' and 'Listen' options. You select 'Send' in Voice channel and 'Listen' for the background music channel.. You can find how to do it by screenshot in the forums here. forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=59619 Video tutorial if you prefer that. AUDIO DUCKING in Davinci Resolve ua-cam.com/video/_AyXx35hb3w/v-deo.html And another tutorial - Audio Auto Ducking with Davinci Resolve 15 Fairlight ua-cam.com/video/kFF8KrkIE6Y/v-deo.html .............. About teleprompter. I know many youtubers, borrowing from corporate talking heads have and do use teleprompters, and most people don't comment on it. Personally to me its very obvious and takes away from authenticity of the presenter. Because its like the weather girl. You just read and at least in the weather girl scenario they try to distract us with tight skirts. My point is that if you are going to read from teleprompter or something similar, my advice is that you do not record yourself reading. I can always tell because in order for you to read, you must have a thousand yard stare, with almost no blinking and steady head so you don't lose the track of what you are reading. Its very obvious. I would suggest for the sake of authenticity, and generally more compelling presentation to simply learn those few minutes you have to say something to the camera and say it, or re.record it. You are not giving live presentation. And I know you know the topic since you don't use teleprompter for the whole duration of video. So you are just using it out of fear you won't be prepared enough, and that creates precisely that impression. I don't mind when people read the text, just when they record themselves reading the text. Show roll B while you read and when camera is back on you, act authentically and speak with authority. Cheers and good luck with your channel.
Also, I’d like to add that I was playing music in one scene. That isn’t a constant ambient noise. It’s changing frequencies and there are long sounds and transient sounds.
Waves looks great!!!! but this is an unfair comparison to Izotope Rx's Dialogue Denoise. They are not the same tool. They don't do the same thing. Izotope has "dialogue Isolate" in addition to "Dialogue Denoise" and you were pretty much sloppy with the izotope's settings, it was like you were setting up izotope to fail against waves.
As I’ve previously said this was a real-time comparison using real-time dialogue restoration plugins. If I was to do things offline using all the RX modules you could get a lot better results than you can with just dialogue de-noise but that also wouldn’t be fair to Clarify as it’s a real-time plugin.
Doing Dialoge Editing for Film, sorting ,adding atmosphere etc.. I never , ever use a Plugin for real time , ever.. There isnt enough Control... Use RX as a APP with a Suite of its Modules.... I only ever use it Via Connect.. If you don't use connect, your NOT uncovering what makes RX sooooo Good. USE CONNECT..Though not sure if davinci supports it.. The round robin works with protools and Logic on Mac.. As for other App and platforms.. I can't answer.... Waves is the one size fits all , and Im not suggesting for your needs its not the perfect Plugin , with a great Algo, and suitable for your Workflow....... That is not RX... There a reason RX is use in gov/police depts for Audio Forensics... But Then Again... On some indy films (that I didnt do location on) was so bad, Not your standard, broadband noise issues, Boom hits.. No Dead cat on the Shotty on a windays day... so on and so forth... My problem is.... I don't generally do what DX editors do.. I DX edit so it sounds like ADR, Still with the Boom and Lal signatures and room.. But the difference it makes for Atmaos, FX ect... It becomes Additive, instead of subtractive.. Yep.. Spectral editing, manually selecting a noise floor and the way it allows interpolation with in the Spectrum , where you can choose what to learn from .. Yeh.. Its a lot more work... But The difference... It can be as clean as ADR, (Sure sometimes there is a base recording, where you need to hang around., But again.... Sure.,... A time saver its a time saver.. But I prefer to spend more time for better results.. Just my Take. (pardon the pun) No one has to agree....But Again, The depth and capabilities of RX, well like the Line in Risky Business.. RX, There is no Substitute.
I don’t disagree at all and when working on most projects I’m in Pro Tools using Connect. You can do it in Resolve as well. This is not my usual process with a feature film or anything serious. I’m just showing that Clarity is a great way to get results quick for projects with short timelines and small budgets. Clarity is definitely not an RX killer but I will definitely have a place for both pieces of kit. Thanks for your insights!
@@benniknop Thanks for the thoughtful response... I guess , Depending on what people expect, This plug in can do more in the "Insert an Instance" and your away.. Dont get me wrong , I used too Use wave x/z noise ect, Great for setting up a threshold curve, Say over the Guitar, like plugins running realtime.. I get it.. But working shot by shot , Take by take , with a different order of Modules , and settings, I create a Playlist (mainly Post In tools,...But I hate Avid.. And I refuse to upgrade being sucked ion to thier egregious subscription service.. Little Lone Upgrading from 10HD is Extortion, and of course , Only Protools Ultimate does Surround,...Like..WTF!) But yes, When I doing Compostion in logic, (And not doing Audio Post) the Bigger Post Houses , Ill always hand in my deliverables (stems etc) with a session and name conforming factor we agree to use.. , That way , The Remixer can import the session data right into the Master Session... And that compatibility , and supplying at such, means Ill never be the fall guy ! lol Anyway, the reason for all this rant, Ive always wanted a Fairlight, and with the Company getting liquidated 3 times, Its amazing that an OZ company ended up with theIP,.. Mate.. In the Noughties, Their first real product , The Decklink, around 2002, we couldn't get enough.. And here we are.. Like Rode, They've really taken alot of the pro market no one thought they could.. So , iWork with a mate in our company.. His the Video Guy, And Im the Audio Guy.. Plus Our DP Who has a BM 4k? , and also Used Final Cut than with FCx , Moved to Premiere.. Now, There all on DR studio... It took a while, but thats the hobbits youve got to break, And once they did, They'll never go back... Classic was they Both Hated the Cut page...Like , Why? It's stupid, etc.. Now they get it, and LOVE it. Especially projects that dont involve Post houses, I want to keep it all in Resolve.. But the Audio editing was a Bitch when they added Fairlight...Id Dowload every Release , Knowing how capable it was , but a monstrosity to use.. Video Editors jargon and works flow is not of that of someone that does audio.. Many informed BM as why it just wasnt there.. And damn It.. 17 was the Moment..The Fairlight Page is actually becoming more Audio workflow ecentric.. Its not fully there yet, but I'm excited.. But it'll be in downtime, and a Test project..... Its good to know Connect works without issues int Resolve.. Just never had a chance to try it.. So again, good info. As Im doing 2 shorts at the moment , Im not going to move to DR yet... But Its great to know Conncet works... I had a Feeling it would, But in Hitech and computers , we know not to ever Assume. No , I dopnt work for Black Magic.. But Did work For a Sydney HiTech shop that where the only Digi dealers, (we imported digi, becuase they decided the market wasnt worth it..I shit you not) .. But Then , With Avid Failing, The acquired Digi..Yep the suits and accountants saved their company by buying a better one.. Now they've made it the same way Avid lost its market share... Basically, These days , The only reason toileting use Protools, Is in film .. If it wasnt for that, Theryed be gone. So Ill reiterate. BM Good 👍🏻 Avid and Adobe Bad.👎🏻
To add.. I do enjoy your content.. as you will already know as I have Sub and the Bell icon selected.. Plus, Your an Ozzy! ;) I do appreciate your response I guess the only thing I was trying to convey, Some new , upcoming audio guys may make a decision without fully understanding what makes the waves straight forward and quick, but also by not showing what RX can really do.. (Though yes, more complicated) In a perfect world, you'd have both.. But One thing is Certain...The RX I Use is Advanced.. And it aint Cheap.. That , if anything, really is what is a great purchase for what it does.. Again, just txting my mind. Cheers
@@Rhythmattica you have some knowledge and history behind you.. Have you tried spectralayers pro 8? i ask because im on the fence about upgrade to rx9 advanced or spectralayers 8 pro. you mentioned you like to do a lot of spectral editing. wouldnt spectralayers be more suitable for surgical cleanup or is rx9 advanced still better? thanks.
you don't have to use Connect in Resolve. You can just set RX as an extension, which will open that audio clip in RX and will "replace" the previous audio soon as you hit save in RX (tehcnically, it still keeps the original clip too)
LOL I see you deleted your ignorant comments and just remade the original comment without the giveaway that you're a consumer with no skills. Probably the smartest move you've made. If you have really been working for 30 years, learn how to solder a cable LMAO
I was comparing two real time dialogue noise reductions plugins. It’s definitely not an RX killer (click bait title) but it definitely competes when it comes to real time processing.

I'm a live event technical director and audiovisual engineer and own a post-prod (color grading and mixing) studio in France.
I've been migrating to Fairlight for mixing and been looking for some videos about pros using the desktop mixing console and your videos are making such a huge service to the profession, 'cause without your careful analysis there would be absolutely no infos about it.

And the clarity, it's ridiculous, it works so brilliantly and live and so simple.
So I just bought it using your affiliate link, thanks for the great work, honestly, it's gonna make my life much MUCH easier, I'm am very impressed!
Fabien, thanks so much for the kind words and taking the time to share with the community. I'm glad that my video helped you decide to try Clarity and even more so for using my links. You're a legend.
Thanks for sharing your insights from a pro standpoint.
Tried this and I think I like it more than what dialogue isolate in RX9 can achieve! It’s better at recognising breaths as dialogue than dialogue isolate does IMO.
I got the standard version of clarity VX for $29 . And all I can say is wow. I also use rx7 voice deNoise and I get better results with clarity.
The Clarity VX Pro test with the background music was impressive!!
I know, right. What you don't know is I have that music cranking in the room. Louder than any cafe would have.
@@benniknop that’s amazing
In Rx consider try use DIALOGUE ISOLATE is more more similar in result.
As I mentioned many times and in the comments below this video was about real time reduction. RX 9 you had to process offline in the app. It wouldn’t be a fair comparison.
bought VX standard and a/b ing against klevgrand brusfi for a voiceover track. Clarity is immediately "clearer" on the noise in my room, PC & PS fans. Brusfi has more options, seems to retain more pleasing low mids maybe and does a good job in general, but Clarity standard version seems to do a good /better job with one mouse dial.
Clarity after Brusfri cleans up everything.
It is a game changer Unbelievable, for 29 its amazing. I find that the pro isn't really necessary for my needs. I do like the fact that you could keep the ambient sound only. I've needed that before only a few times.
Suuper clean thanks for the video! I wish you bring back the twitch streams
They will be back. I’ll just be doing them on UA-cam though. Building a new studio this month. Hoping to start them next month.
as mentioned, you have the Voice De-Noise optimised for music. Plus, RX Dialogue isolate would be a much better comparison tool than V.D.
So why mention it again? 😜
As I’ve mentioned, that was an error on my behalf but RX Dialogue Isolate isn’t a real time plugin which was what I was comparing. I still don’t think isolate is as good as Clarity is most situations. Thanks for your contribution.
@@benniknop no problem brother...oh, did I mention you had de-noise set for music? Lol
Check out those high beams!!!... I didn't think the studio was that cold. So does anyone have a good idea for a 'noisy' sign off catch phrase?
Remember the current prices are introductory prices, so grab your copy quick!..
PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY USING MY AFFILIATE LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION!
I don't think Waves will raise the "initial price" ;) The experience with Waves plugins contradicts this :) I bought "Clarity Vx" and it is much better than NS-1, but I will wait for the Pro version until Black Friday ;) Waves = constantly promotions :)
Sure you can hear how Clarity affects the voice, and yes, there are artefacts!
If I had used RX in your examples, I would probably have used de-hum and later most likely dialogue-isolate, and I wouldn't have used the music, but the dialogue algorithm.
It's almost as if you used your RX expertise to the advantage of Clarity.
But that is certainly only a superficial impression, of course ;-)
Personally, I use RX and C-suite C-vox. A dream team.
I still use RX all the time. This was just a comparison of how to quickly clean up your dialogue. I didn't notice when recording the video I had the music not dialogue algorithm set. That was my bad.
Each tool has their own use cases. It's definitely not an RX killer. They all have their place. I use tools like Clear as well these days.
Catch Phrase: "Keep It On The db". / Nice channel and video! I use both software titles in different situations.
Blown Away... But I Own RX 10 ADVANCED... I Got A Loyalty Deal That I Could Not Pass Up. GREAT DEMOSTRATIONS THOU. 👍🏽👍🏽❗
Pretty amazing!!! I use RX8 for voiceovers but I may have to give the Clarity VX a try!
I would definitely suggest getting a copy and seeing what it can do. I’ll post more videos with comparisons over the coming month.
I use rx7 and just got clarity VX ,and to me clarity is better than voice DeNoise imo
@@jclbuxfan I'm going to check this out!
I just bought this and I am happy with it. I wanted to get additional info but listening to this video and hearing the amateurish music behind it is extremely annoying.. I would consider supporting the channel if you took out the noise
Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. You’re the first out of thousands to complain about the music. I think at this stage I’ll keep doing what I’m doing but I appreciate you taking the time to let me know why you didn’t support the channel.
I would use RX Voice Isolate over Voice DeNoise - I own both, just bought clarity, money will test on existing footage, will let you know. RX Voice Isolate is pretty amazing.
I’ve said it in the video and replied to a lot of comments. This was a real-time test. You can use Dialogue Isolate without sending it to RX and doing an offline process. I don’t disagree that it great but it’s not as easy at clarity.
They are all good for different things but honestly I’m still blown away by Clarity. I’m using it as a clip effect on Resolve and it’s killer when cleaning up dialogue.
5:24 Bwahahahahahaha!!! We had the same reaction. Holy ****!
Waves is awesome, I think I can delete Izotope from my plugin folder now.
Also Waves has away better cpu usage
Rx9 advanced has so many surgical tools to only use one seems unfair. Maybe this vs rx9 elements is a better comp if only using adaptive mode. I’m starting a feature tomorrow….gonna put this to the test tho.
I totally agree with this statement, but as I said in the review/overview I'm comparing their real-time plugin. I don't think it's fair to compare importing your audio and using the suite of plugins within RX editor and having to print your effects. The fact that you can get the reduction quality you can with a real-time plugin is amazing.
@@benniknop I'm curious what you think of the Clarity Vx lite version compared to the Voice De-Noise. The lite version have very noticeable artifacts compared to the Pro version from my own tests. I still think it's better than Voice De-Noise. It also works in real-time.
@@Hzuuuu my plan is to do tests with it and make a video this week. Let me get back to you. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notified.
I'm not getting many artifacts.
superb! thank you!
You are most welcome. Please subscribe and if you decide to purchase please help out the channel by using the links in my description. Many thanks.
Killer Plugin!
Fair comparison would be the nvidia denoising thing or maybe rnnoise
For real-time, RX is stuck with Voice De-noise. If real-time isn't a requirement, then RX Spectral De-noise is much better at cleaning things up.
I have a video on my channel comparing RX8 Voice De-noise to CEDAR Audio. The CEDAR does way better. It would be interesting to see how this Waves plugin does against CEDAR. There is also something to be said for the DNS8D being a rack mount 8 channel device so you don't need to rely on a laptop running your plugins in a live situation, as well...
Can you compare it to C-Vox Suite (UAD)?
@@gaborkiss1425 If you are directing that at me, then no. I don't own any UAD processing hardware.
@@cwichura Okay, thanks.
I am just being curious, because that was the first "intelligent noise reducer" that I ever used before. :)
Hey, Christopher. I've asked iZotope several times now if it's possible to use voice denoise or other nodule in real time instead of a noise gate but they said their plugins are not meant for real time but then they have adaptive mode which seems to be a real time processing option so I'm confused. Have you tried using voice denoise in real time without much latency and do you have a video on it ? All the best.
@@igorsenayoutube I used Voice De-noise in real-time for months before switching to the CEDAR. In my video you see it running in real-time as well. But I don't use adaptive mode as mentioned in the video, since it wasn't smart enough to detect no signal when the gate in front of it closed.
The Spectral De-noise plugin is NOT suitable for real-time, as also mentioned in the video. With all the quality settings cranked to max, it adds over two seconds of latency. Even at minimal quality settings (which is basically useless from a sound quality point of view), it has non-zero latency.
Edit to add: the video I reference is on my channel, comparing RX Voice De-noise to a CEDAR DNS 8D. I missed that this was a reply in a different channel...
Acon Digital Dialog extract is the Izotope killer.
I've had a, chance to compare it with RX and Acon Digital Dialog extract.
Both are better sounding. With Acon still being the most transparent.
Have you got a video or some audio samples we can hear? I'll have to get a copy of Icon and have a play. I've been an RX user from the beginning and although I don't think it's fair to just compare the voice de-noise plugin, I want to keep it true to real-time processing.
Hey Mark- if I can ask, are you still using Cedar DNS on your dialogue tracks? (e.g Cedar on the DX tracks, Dialogue Extract on a bus?)
@@ChrisPFuchs yes. But lightly. When for real problems, or if I don't have access to Cedar. ACON is my go to.
Acon Digital Extract Dialog. I have the Acustica premium Edition. I prefer it in some ways over Izotope RX for ease of use and can get good results .
You're welcome to try - Clarity Vx is MUCH better than Dialogue:Extract - AND it does it at 4096 latency, against almost 13,000 latency for Acon.
No comparison - in sound, performance, features and latency.
You had the wrong setting for Rx should have used dialogue instead of music
Thanks for pointing this out. Apologies for not giving RX the right representation. I never have it on the Music selection but I did a pretest on the 'Cafe Background Music Scene' before I recorded the demo and left it on. I'm going to do a video for the standard version soon. I'll correct that for the next comparison.
@@benniknop I just tested it myself Wave Clarity kills RX
@@machoman7655 there is definitely still a need for RX but for general dialogue restoration, I think Clarity will be my go to from now on.
@@benniknop Did a retest for vocals only RX takes it. For room ambience Clarity. Clarity is a cpu killer!
@@machoman7655 clarity is a cpu killer for sure. You can only have a few of instances and then the computer craps itself. I’m using it on a live music concert. Great for bleed from the band. Better for quick and simple projects.
Great vid
Yeah mate... I can see that Clarity is good but, honestly... you weren't really using the best iZotope module by comparison. Also... you have the Izotope module set to Music instead of the Dialogue mode... cheers for the intro but I'll download the demo and compare for myself I think.
I don't disagree. You can achieve a lot more with RX audio editor BUT this was a real-time comparison and I wanted people to see how easy Clarity is and how quick you can get good results. You definitely can't get results like this with RX without doing offline processing.
Thanks for pointing out the music mode. Other's have as well. I always have it in dialogue mode but before I started the demo recording, I checked music mode for the last 'Cafe Background Music Scene' and didn't notice during the recording. I'm going to compare the standard version of Clarity soon and I'll make sure I don't make the same mistake.
Tell us your results mate !!
Wow! That's insane!
I have Vx (non-Pro, just the big knob) and it is just outstanding. I find that 70-80% works best, with very little artifacting. Best $29 I've ever spent on a plug-in. Waves has a winner here. I still use other RX-10 functions, but not it's de-noiser. I suspect Waves will drop the Pro's price soon, because honestly, It's not worth 8x the regular Vx, maybe 2X as it just gives you a bit more control.
I find with the pro version being able to lesson the effect on different frequencies useful in many cases but either way, it’s a great plugin to have.
Just curious if you are able to run two instances of Waves Clarity Vx? I'm only testing it out, have an 8 Core 4GHz and 32GB Ram Win 10 PC-- and as soon as I try to put clarity Vx on a second stereo track my DAW either shuts down playback or (Pro Tools) reports not enough CPU. Seems like I'd have to put it on a Master or Bus channel and print the cleaned up tracks, then disable the plugin to do anything else?
@@marcov9581 I’ve found this a little hit and miss. On my Mac in Resolve I could maybe get two instances on my PC I can get 4 but some times it chocks a little. Might be best to do an offline process of it and print the changes.
Great video. Welcome back. I got LOAIR and Vocal rider are you using rider for normalizing the dialogue in your film?
Very subtly. I like to use a small amount of Vocal Rider to just bring up some of the quieter dialogue but mostly bring down the louder dialogue before I compress is a little. This is after I've done noise reduction. LoAir is great on your LFE channel.
The ordinary version is an amazing plugin, shame I can't use it on my new M1 Mac though. Come on Waves for goodness sake. I'll even pay your "update plan" of another $29 if you do the conversion.
But it's true you can use it on an M1 Machine if it's running in Rosetta, right?
@@tomookay Indeed. But what do Waves do all day? M1 Macs have been out for over TWO YEARS.
You want to keep the sensitivity to not High and then work the gate to remove that kick!
Wow, as a realtime tool, it's pretty impressive. I wonder how good it would be on different sources, for example an acoustic guitar recorded with some street noise. Also, I guess a great comparison would be about a full cleanup, without workflow restrictions (i.e. use all the tools in the RX suite), and check what gets you the best faster (or just the "best" results).
It’s only made for voice so I don’t think an acoustic would work. I’d be interested to test this on a live band performance to get rid of cymbal bleed. I think it’ll work a treat.
Waves announced they will come out with the Waves Clarity Ax Ax Pro in a few months that will be the "Vx Vx Pro of Audio signals" ROTFLMAO Psych!
I am using it on live vocals and it greatly cleans up the bleed. I love it.
@@tacomamusic I just used it on a live concert. Worked a treat. Cleans the drum kit out of the vocal.
These neural network noise removals are usually only tuned for one thing so acoustic guitar wouldn't work unless it was specifically designed to do so.
Putting acoustic guitars through this will result in no sound sadly.
It seems to me you could use a combination of the $29 version of Clarity with a noise gate (and maybe Waves's W43) to approximate what the pro plugin is offering. So I'm not sure spending $200+ more for the pro version is worth it.
I completely agree, the Vx is fantastic, you get very little for 8x the price with the Pro version. Seems oddly priced to me. I suspect the Pro version will be down to $49 or $59 soon.
Is the standard still a better value person to get over the pro?
This is fing crazy
And u click optimize for music when u doing dialogue in RX , and keep surgical setting.......
Thanks for pointing this out. Apologies for not giving RX the right representation. I never have it on the Music selection but I did a pretest on the 'Cafe Background Music Scene' before I recorded the demo and left it on. I'm going to do a video for the standard version soon. I'll correct that for the next comparison.
@@benniknop all good dude, i am doing location sound ,and i start using iztope denoise since RX5 , diff setting yield pretty diff outcome , but for sure i admit for mild to moderate ,RX is not best sounding denoise software
@@joinwoo1 RX is a killer bit of software. If you have the time and know how it does amazing things. This comparison was more about real-time and when you don't have the luxury of time, how do you get good results?.. I think #ClarityVx is the way to go for a quick real-time alternative. I think it sounds great. I was a bit shocked to be honest.
Excellent Video on how to use Clarity VXPRO this was very helpful to me to understand how to use the tool better.
Are you using RX plugins with Davinci ? Or do you have to buy the Izotope program ?
Thanks for the kind works. You have to buy iZotope separately to use in Davinci.
Amazing presentation. 💚
Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words.
Call it what you want. This is absolutely groundbreaking. Period.
I was skeptical when they first told me they were doing noise reduction and that they have a game changer but I’m sold. I won’t be getting rid of RX but for a quick and easy fix on projects and for some noise that RX just can’t get rid of… I’ll be pulling out Clarity
I see that you are working in Resolve for this demo. Great comparison!
Hmm... Use RX to narrow the noise then Clarity on the end of the chain so it doesn't have to work as hard? 1-2 Punch might be the new way.
I’ve used Fairlights AI noise reduction before Supertone’s Clear as well. The double hit is a great way to do it.
Ooh! This could save the show i'm working on right now.
Please consider using my affiliate links to support the channel. Links in the description.
for the fan situation you should have use rx spectral denoise not voise
This was just an example of real time correction and to show off the plugin. I use whatever tool is best for the job in productions. I don’t use spectral demonise often. I don’t like what it does to the dialogue. On occasion it is the right tool though.
It's crazy that in just 6 months we got this feature absolutely free with Nvidia Broadcast live
Yeah i saw some videos on it.
Free? You payed for that :)
@@Zero-Sun no, Nvidia Broadcast is free to use
I noticed you've set RX's Voice De-noise to "Music", instead of "Dialogue" (better). I always end up using the Spectral Denoise feature in RX, even on voices/lectures/speakers... you have much more granular control over the algos used, especially for extremely 'dirty' recordings.
The crazy thing is how long it took for the audio industry to figure this out.
This tech has been out for a few years now, even being a in popular chat apps like Discord.
wow
I saw in 5:15 you have RX optimised for Music not for Dialogue.
I’ve previously apologised for this mistake. I never normally have it in music mode but was testing on the music scene and didn’t turn it back.
I'd really love to use this in Davinci like it seems you are! But my copy of Clarity Vx doesn't do anything when I try to apply it as an effect in Davinci. It works fine in Premiere... any help? On macOS Big Sur
Are you putting it on the channel insert/plugin or on the clip itself?
@@benniknop Tried both, to no effect unfortunately. The plugin folders are all right and Waves Central doesn't show anything weird either

GReat Video....I noticed you are using Davinci Resolve ............Does WAVES CLARITY VX PRO work or is a plugin with davinci....How do you install to Davinci?
How effective would you say this would be on a poor audience recording of a rock concert like bootlegs??
Hard to say without hearing it but probably not that good. It may help you get some of the dialogue clearer but it won’t help for the music.
Can someone please explain HOW to install this in Edius 9.5 (as VST plugin) or Adobe Preniere 2022? I download the clarity plugin demo via waves central but seems i can;t make it....Please ....
I don't work in Premiere sorry.
What about symbol bleed?
Currently don’t have a project I can use for a demo with cymbal bleed. I mix a bunch of live shows and this could work a treat for that.
Very interesting, have you tested rx9 advanced new dialogue isolate? Against this.
I'm planning on making a video of the standard version of Clarity Vx, I might use that time to use dialogue isolate as well on these samples and see how it does. This test was more about real-time noise reduction.
@Benni Knop it was definitely good. I wanna see the standard version before I decide to have it in the Arsenal

Is it possible to isolate individual people singing, for example a male and a female singing together and maybe acoustic guitar playing too?
I wanted to isolate two voices, male and female from a jam a friend sent me, so i can pan them and add effects etc
You could probably isolate the voices from the acoustic but not from each other. You’re asking a lot of any software at that point. Maybe one day AI will be good enough
@@benniknop lol Yeah I guess AI at some point. If there is a voice recognizer that separates each person. Hopefully soon. Thanks for the reply.
This won't seem to open in Davinci Resolve... What's up?
Are you on an M1 Mac? Make sure you open Resolve in Rosetta.
ua-cam.com/video/RBZsuVA6olg/v-deo.html
Just for clarification: When using the RX plugin, why did you leave it set to "music" instead of "dialogue" with the optimization setting? It seems like that was tipping the scale a bit against Izotope, by not using it the way it was meant to be used.
That was an error on my behalf. I never use the music setting. I just had tested the music scene with the setting before shooting and didn’t change it back.
You mention vx throughout, your using the pro version. It's 6 times the price, yes, it's in the description but not correct version in the voice.
Apologies. The non pro version is still great but you don't have the same control as the pro version.
For the lazy yess....cause clients don't care what happens in audio post. All they want is profits...and move on to next project. And make more money. Truth!!!!
How did you install this into DR17?
Hello ! I haz a question , it might be a tough one... I use a voice FX changer.. quite a few ppl i know do these days for using with our animated avatars... some ppl using Vocal Bender, some ppl are using Polyverse Manipulator, some ppl using the all in one thingy like Morphvox... what would be the best type of plugin to use in the chain after a vocal fx changer to clean up any artifacts made by the Vocal Bender or Manipulator plugins.... there has to be something, because i know these voice fx plugins have been around a while with Izotope vocal synth and little alter boy... if you have any sort of suggestion that would be great and i will give you a sub lol. i was looking at this plugin but probably not what i am looking for as it seems to be for room or atmosphere noise adjustment.
That's a difficult question when I don't know exactly what artefacts you're trying to get rid off. I'd use the Izotope RX suite do deal with most of this. It's great for getting rid of clicks and pops. Does it make it sound more mp3 like? Have you got some examples?
@@benniknop I know it is really hard question, sorry, my voice is on my page here. I think it might be kind of an impossible question as what we are doing is kind of experimental i guess. Have you tried Antares SoundSoap yet? i noticed they just released a new version a month or so ago, Yes i should get RX suite on the next sale and try that as well, thanks for the reply.
I tried this and thank god I only got the demo, because I was honestly disappointed. The plugin chewed up and ate half of my voice. I ended up using Wave's x-noise which is fine but not perfect. So disappointed, I'm seeing other UA-camrs gives this a thumbs up, however I feel like it depends on the voice, I have a husky voice so I'm having a hard time finding the right noise plug-in.
Have you checked out GOYO yet?
Considering during your RX attempt first, you had it set to MUSIC, not DIALOGUE, so not really an endorsement for or against RX. I bought Clarity VX way before seeing this post, and will never use any other plugin for avoiding ADR, and I'm in now way with my previous comment, promoting RX, by any means, but your test should have been focused on Dialogue during RX test.
Thanks Thomas, It's been pointed out many times and that was my mistake due to running a test before shooting and forgetting to put it back. I still stand by this plugin as well as RX. They both have their place.
A question. Do you duck music volume so it does not compete with dialog. It seems you are not. Makes is quite distracting because on top of you reading of teleprompter and sounding robotic, background music that its not needed in teh first place is competing with your voice. I would suggest you ditch the teleprompter and speak like you normally would, which you do when you record the screen to demo. Looks and sounds much better. As for music, ither get rid of distracting and unnecessary background music, or duck it when your voice is heard. Cheers!
Appreciate the feedback. I'm not really doing anything different to some of the bigger youtubers. I'll make sure I keep an eye on the music so it is less distracting on future videos. I tend to only use music on intros and outros but it depends on the content.
I don't often use a teleprompter but I did on the main intro camera. I've just watched it back again and I don't personally agree and haven't had anyone else comment on it. The main reason I use it is to make sure the script is quality, not repetitive but also keeps my editing times down so I can make more content.
Does anyone else have an issue with me using the teleprompter?
Thanks for the feedback Krunoslav.
@@benniknop No problem.
About ducking music so it doesn't interfere with the voiceover, or dialog, if you have iZotope RX you can open up your video clip and you can even see it visually. Its pretty obvious how the dialog is burried under tones of other sound, the music. And that is what I can hear when I watch the video here. Its quite distracting and its not just me saying it, the iZotope RX or any program that can show it in spectograph can show you visually the problem. Sadly I can't post screenshots here on youtube to show you, but trust me, its there and its obvious. That is why I didn't even have to look at it, I could hear it. If you don't hear it, probably its that your "ear" is not trained... yet.
If you are interested in ducking, again I can't post a screenshot here to illustrate, but here are some useful resources: The Davinci resolve release 15.1 and newer has Audio Ducking throgh Sidechain. Under Fairlight page --> Dynamics --> Compressor --> SideChain. The SideChain option now has 'Send' and 'Listen' options. You select 'Send' in Voice channel and 'Listen' for the background music channel.. You can find how to do it by screenshot in the forums here.

About teleprompter. I know many youtubers, borrowing from corporate talking heads have and do use teleprompters, and most people don't comment on it. Personally to me its very obvious and takes away from authenticity of the presenter. Because its like the weather girl. You just read and at least in the weather girl scenario they try to distract us with tight skirts. My point is that if you are going to read from teleprompter or something similar, my advice is that you do not record yourself reading. I can always tell because in order for you to read, you must have a thousand yard stare, with almost no blinking and steady head so you don't lose the track of what you are reading. Its very obvious. I would suggest for the sake of authenticity, and generally more compelling presentation to simply learn those few minutes you have to say something to the camera and say it, or re.record it. You are not giving live presentation. And I know you know the topic since you don't use teleprompter for the whole duration of video. So you are just using it out of fear you won't be prepared enough, and that creates precisely that impression. I don't mind when people read the text, just when they record themselves reading the text. Show roll B while you read and when camera is back on you, act authentically and speak with authority.
Cheers and good luck with your channel.
It wasn't very cool to make the comparison by raising the threshold, because it generates a lot of artifact. Sorry
Fair enough. I'm more just showing the capabilities. In real world use cases I don't use a lot of the plugin. Appreciate your feedback.
Shame you didn't do a comparison where there is no constant ambient noise, but random car horns or dogs barking.
Apologies. I did record on a busy street. Next time I’ll give someone the finger so they beep their horn for you.
Also, I’d like to add that I was playing music in one scene. That isn’t a constant ambient noise. It’s changing frequencies and there are long sounds and transient sounds.
Waves looks great!!!! but this is an unfair comparison to Izotope Rx's Dialogue Denoise. They are not the same tool. They don't do the same thing. Izotope has "dialogue Isolate" in addition to "Dialogue Denoise" and you were pretty much sloppy with the izotope's settings, it was like you were setting up izotope to fail against waves.
As I’ve previously said this was a real-time comparison using real-time dialogue restoration plugins. If I was to do things offline using all the RX modules you could get a lot better results than you can with just dialogue de-noise but that also wouldn’t be fair to Clarify as it’s a real-time plugin.
Doing Dialoge Editing for Film, sorting ,adding atmosphere etc.. I never , ever use a Plugin for real time , ever.. There isnt enough Control... Use RX as a APP with a Suite of its Modules....
I only ever use it Via Connect.. If you don't use connect, your NOT uncovering what makes RX sooooo Good.
USE CONNECT..Though not sure if davinci supports it.. The round robin works with protools and Logic on Mac.. As for other App and platforms.. I can't answer....
Waves is the one size fits all , and Im not suggesting for your needs its not the perfect Plugin , with a great Algo, and suitable for your Workflow.......
That is not RX... There a reason RX is use in gov/police depts for Audio Forensics...
But Then Again... On some indy films (that I didnt do location on) was so bad, Not your standard, broadband noise issues, Boom hits.. No Dead cat on the Shotty on a windays day... so on and so forth...
My problem is.... I don't generally do what DX editors do.. I DX edit so it sounds like ADR, Still with the Boom and Lal signatures and room.. But the difference it makes for Atmaos, FX ect... It becomes Additive, instead of subtractive.. Yep.. Spectral editing, manually selecting a noise floor and the way it allows interpolation with in the Spectrum , where you can choose what to learn from ..
Yeh.. Its a lot more work... But The difference... It can be as clean as ADR, (Sure sometimes there is a base recording, where you need to hang around., But again....
Sure.,... A time saver its a time saver.. But I prefer to spend more time for better results..
Just my Take. (pardon the pun) No one has to agree....But Again, The depth and capabilities of RX, well like the Line in Risky Business.. RX, There is no Substitute.
I don’t disagree at all and when working on most projects I’m in Pro Tools using Connect. You can do it in Resolve as well.
This is not my usual process with a feature film or anything serious. I’m just showing that Clarity is a great way to get results quick for projects with short timelines and small budgets. Clarity is definitely not an RX killer but I will definitely have a place for both pieces of kit. Thanks for your insights!
@@benniknop Thanks for the thoughtful response...
I guess , Depending on what people expect, This plug in can do more in the "Insert an Instance" and your away..
Dont get me wrong , I used too Use wave x/z noise ect, Great for setting up a threshold curve, Say over the Guitar, like plugins running realtime..
I get it..
But working shot by shot , Take by take , with a different order of Modules , and settings, I create a Playlist (mainly Post In tools,...But I hate Avid.. And I refuse to upgrade being sucked ion to thier egregious subscription service.. Little Lone Upgrading from 10HD is Extortion, and of course , Only Protools Ultimate does Surround,...Like..WTF!)
But yes, When I doing Compostion in logic, (And not doing Audio Post) the Bigger Post Houses , Ill always hand in my deliverables (stems etc) with a session and name conforming factor we agree to use.. , That way , The Remixer can import the session data right into the Master Session... And that compatibility , and supplying at such, means Ill never be the fall guy ! lol
Anyway, the reason for all this rant, Ive always wanted a Fairlight, and with the Company getting liquidated 3 times, Its amazing that an OZ company ended up with theIP,.. Mate.. In the Noughties, Their first real product , The Decklink, around 2002, we couldn't get enough..
And here we are.. Like Rode, They've really taken alot of the pro market no one thought they could..
So , iWork with a mate in our company.. His the Video Guy, And Im the Audio Guy..
Plus Our DP Who has a BM 4k? , and also Used Final Cut than with FCx , Moved to Premiere..
Now, There all on DR studio... It took a while, but thats the hobbits youve got to break, And once they did, They'll never go back...
Classic was they Both Hated the Cut page...Like , Why? It's stupid, etc..
Now they get it, and LOVE it.
Especially projects that dont involve Post houses, I want to keep it all in Resolve..
But the Audio editing was a Bitch when they added Fairlight...Id Dowload every Release , Knowing how capable it was , but a monstrosity to use.. Video Editors jargon and works flow is not of that of someone that does audio..
Many informed BM as why it just wasnt there.. And damn It.. 17 was the Moment..The Fairlight Page is actually becoming more Audio workflow ecentric..
Its not fully there yet, but I'm excited.. But it'll be in downtime, and a Test project.....
Its good to know Connect works without issues int Resolve.. Just never had a chance to try it.. So again, good info.
As Im doing 2 shorts at the moment , Im not going to move to DR yet... But Its great to know Conncet works... I had a Feeling it would, But in Hitech and computers , we know not to ever Assume.
No , I dopnt work for Black Magic..
But Did work For a Sydney HiTech shop that where the only Digi dealers, (we imported digi, becuase they decided the market wasnt worth it..I shit you not) .. But Then , With Avid Failing, The acquired Digi..Yep the suits and accountants saved their company by buying a better one.. Now they've made it the same way Avid lost its market share... Basically, These days , The only reason toileting use Protools, Is in film .. If it wasnt for that, Theryed be gone.
So Ill reiterate. BM Good 👍🏻
Avid and Adobe Bad.👎🏻
To add.. I do enjoy your content.. as you will already know as I have Sub and the Bell icon selected.. Plus, Your an Ozzy! ;)
I do appreciate your response
I guess the only thing I was trying to convey, Some new , upcoming audio guys may make a decision without fully understanding what makes the waves straight forward and quick, but also by not showing what RX can really do.. (Though yes, more complicated) In a perfect world, you'd have both.. But One thing is Certain...The RX I Use is Advanced.. And it aint Cheap..
That , if anything, really is what is a great purchase for what it does..
Again, just txting my mind.
Cheers
@@Rhythmattica you have some knowledge and history behind you.. Have you tried spectralayers pro 8? i ask because im on the fence about upgrade to rx9 advanced or spectralayers 8 pro. you mentioned you like to do a lot of spectral editing. wouldnt spectralayers be more suitable for surgical cleanup or is rx9 advanced still better? thanks.
you don't have to use Connect in Resolve. You can just set RX as an extension, which will open that audio clip in RX and will "replace" the previous audio soon as you hit save in RX (tehcnically, it still keeps the original clip too)
Clairty is NOT an RX killer by a long shot. You're comparing apples to oranges.
LOL I see you deleted your ignorant comments and just remade the original comment without the giveaway that you're a consumer with no skills. Probably the smartest move you've made. If you have really been working for 30 years, learn how to solder a cable LMAO
I was comparing two real time dialogue noise reductions plugins. It’s definitely not an RX killer (click bait title) but it definitely competes when it comes to real time processing.
