So I have made it point of stop buying more gear and software and master what I have. I wanted to learn and master RX and you have helped me to do exactly that. RX is strong and powerful and I am learning to use it for more than music rebalance. Thank you for the detail of walking me through the modules. Thank you!
I truly love RX! I use mainly for de-noising samples for my own sample libraries, and also for resampling recordings I get from musicians I collaborate with/hire, as I find the result better than Cubase's automatic resampling facility. Also, I truly like how even with just the standard version I can still accomplish something that the modules featured in the Advanced version do: I was asked to "de-wind" a very short film shot on an iPhone, and I eventually used Spectral Denoise to simulate whet the De-Wind module would do, the results were pretty amazing!
What I like to do with RX is run it after I have mastered in Ozone, standalaone, with Repair Assistant, to see what it finds in the way of anomalies, then render it through RX. Comapre, and usually, my masters come out even better after analysis and addressing what RX finds, to fine tune my masters. This video helps me to understand the real complexities of RX's analysis tools to even better understand what I'm hearing and seeing in the sound information. Again, thanks to you for how deep you go, and how plain you explain.
Love this! You just don't say, you explain and articulate in a way I can understand. All of your videos, from this channel, and in Izotope, I'm learning more than I ever thought I would. Thank you for taking your valuable time to share with us your knowledge and expertise!!!
I bought RX a month or so ago, mostly to create clean a cappella. I learned so much from this vid. Thanks for sharing! By the way, an easy way to remember “contiguous” and “non-contiguous” is to get to the base of the entomology. That is: Contiguous (“continues”) = adjacent elements that continue without interruption. Non-contiguous (“doesn’t continue”) = similar elements that are interrupted by other elements.
I've been an RX advanced user for over a decade, cleaning up lectures & seminars which carry with them all kinds of background noise - coughs, sneezes, doors opening/closing, passing airplanes, plosives, pen clicks, etc. Spectral denoising is outstanding... even better than some AI programs out there now which can over-compress the original signal. I rarely use adaptive mode unless I have a clean, constant signal. Still, better to grab nearby background slice and let it 'learn' (even 1-2 seconds is sufficient). I use advanced settings on spectral denoising quite a bit for signal enhancements. Great program.
Excellent tutorial. One of the things I liked best is you've given some spectrogram-based ear training, so I can visualize in the spectrogram what I'm hearing. You've explained the spectrogram clearly, so now I have more confidence using it in the editing process vs waveform editing. Your before and after examples were also very clear and helpful.
Hey thank you. Even for a not native speaker you're totally good to understand. It's enjoyable to listen to you, nice voice and very informative video. I like.
Thanks for this! I've had RX for a while, but have been a bit intimidated by the sheer size of it and all the possibilities. This breaks everything down nicely :)
I never used the actual software, just the super basic VST from RX8 Elements, later RX10 Elements after I have been using RX10 for some time, I actually noticed, that even RX8 (which I kept around for comparisons) still received an occasional update. So the support is still there. When I got into iZotope RX, I was very sceptical on how good it would really be, but my doubt was put to rest in a single session tinkering with it. I’ve used ReaFir before, but there is just no competition. RX is ridiculously good, not just in attenuation of noise, but also in preservation of the things to record. So just by this very basic noise removal, I can totally see, why RX advanced is so beloved by professionals, because it’s so much more powerful if you put the work in it.
20:55 I'm so amazed at how clean it sounds!! I've been messing around with subtractive EQ noise removal but it was never as precise, and always left my audio sounding hollow. I have a tendency to strongly geek out over really technical and detailed programs like this and it's DEFINITELY going on my wishlist. I had no idea this technology existed. also your explanations were so clear and concise
Brilliant. I’m a videographer who struggles on how to repair audio. In some situations, audio can be really poor. Even though this video was more audio from a good setting, it was extremely helpful. I also have tinnitus. So seeing visually what is happening is massive for me.
Thanks for this explanation and example of some of the tools within RX. I am new to recording and producing music and have RX which I have begun to learn to use for solving problems. Your examples are very helpful.
Thanks so much, Geoff. I’ve been using Rx for a few years, and for how much I’ve paid for it plus upgrades, I wanted to make sure I had the right grasp of this powerful software. As I’ve commented on some of your other vids … “If you want to learn from such tutorials, go straight to the top - Geoff Manchester”. Always excellent.
Grrreat introductory overview. My RX editing focus right now is for on-location dialogue processing, but the tools and steps you presented were easy to see how such can be applied to any audio needing processing. And also thanks for the Advanced De-Noising Techniques demonstration -- too many times for 'run & gun' documentary filming, for one reason or another getting ambience audio reference just doesn't happen.
Hi ! Thank you for the video ! I have an other problem. I want to turn up the volume of a specific spectrum frequency, and it's easy with the tool of selection, but how I can do it with gradation so it doesn't sound strange to the ear.
Great video. I Will definately buy it (newest version of course ). I really like your UA-cam style. Very friendly and informative. And great that you look at products from different manufactures - eg your fabfilter eq video
too cool leaving others in the dust, I bet it can clean that up also haha great job thank you headphones are required to really realize how powerful this really is I subscribed, you did a great job thanks
Hi, thxs for the video. I have one question. Is it in the standard version possible to denoise just music in a master. I want to de-noise old cassettape recordings. Is that possible?
Did I understand it right? The normal De-Click Plugin works for mouth sounds also? I am not sure if I need the Standard Version or if the Elements Version is enough.
Thank you Geoff. This video has been very helpful. I am currently using Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO's but have realised my neighbourhood has become rather noisey. Thus I should switch to closed cans. Might you have a suggestion for some good closed headphones that mgith be suitable for work using iZotope RX ?
Hello again Geoff, You mention you use a trackpad as a mouse alternative for operating RX. Could you please share details about the trackpad? Is that the Apple Magic ? What advantages do you feel the Trackpad offers ? Having used a mouse for so many years, my wrist gets fatigued so am interested in trying different options.
Would it be helpful, if recording in a bedroom or other background noise environment, to purposely capture the background of the day recording to use as a fingerprint for removing that noise from the files meant to be kept? I’m not sure if the noise from one file can be used for removing noise from another file.
Sure, this is referred to as capturing ‘room tone’. Always a good idea to get 10-15 seconds of it on the day of the shoot. If I understand you, you have to be careful using room tone from one day to subtract it from another day in the same room. The noise floor is always shifting.
Great video mate. A constructive criticism for you: When you’re highlighting a specific feature of the plug-in, it would be a great idea if you edit the video to zoom in on that specific area. Since most of us are watching on a phone, things appear small and most of the time it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what you’re talking about. It’ll take a bit more effort from your side but will be well worth the time. Really appreciate all the efforts you put into these videos. Thanks
Nice video, thanks. I have standard RX and I don't understand 90% of the stuff that is in it. Your video shed some light on some of the things. :) I struggle with one thing though. I have a bunch of voice recordings where there is music or TV in the background and I'm lost at how to remove that background. RX's modules are doing great job with all the noise and other pops but always keep the music and TV untouched. Is there a way to remove it?
I’d highly recommend the dialogue isolate module for that challenge. You can use it to rebalance the dialogue(voice recordings) and lift it above the noise of the music/tv recordings in the background.
Waves clarity does this very well for anyone who can't afford the upgraded version.. it's also quite a bit cheaper. I'd download a trial of both. Clarity is way cheaper but it might not work for you. Isolate is amazing but for 1000 bucks you can probably get the work done for cheaper.
I would wanted to know if it's for vinyl restoration. Some friends of me use this, not for vinyl restoration because they say that decracke remove frequencies. They use it for vocal recordings or old speeches to improve the quality. The only thing they do for vinyl restoration, they clean their records in order not to have scratches, then they use a lofi type equalizer with more bass from another song as eqmatch. And they add these, they don't prefer highs because scratches are more audible with high end, even when listening vinyl are not so audible. Then normaling and increase of gain. But it distorts so much
I've been using RX Advanced for a couple years to clean up some very bad production audio, and I still feel like I am sort of just stabbing in the dark when I apply different modules. Is there a place you recommend to learn how to fully maximize the toolset with a focus on post-production?
Dumb question, maybe I'm just that newbe. You are talking about opening RX10 as an independent program. But I can't seem to figure out how to open it as a stand-alone program. I have access to it in Reaper as plug-ins but that's it. I have opened the Izotope product portal (which is kinky with the merge into native Instruments and makes finding any Izotope products extremely difficult, not happy there). When I click on RX 10 (or any program) it takes me to either a web page or error page. Is RX 10 a stand-alone program? If so how do I open the stand-alone program? Thank you! I've been binging your vids since I bought RX10 and they have taught me tons.
RX is a standalone program, yes. If you’ve installed it correctly it should be located in your applications menu like any other application you use on your computer. Double-clicking it should get it to run and then ultimately open for use. That it works in Reaper tells me it’s available in its other forms as well. Consider reaching out to the iZotope’s customer care team if you still can’t find and open it from the applications menu.
@@ManchesterMusic Thank You! When downloading, it auto opens into Reaper. I opened the file as you suggested and did the full install and poof I got the magic RX10 Audio Editor icon to appear. Been editing an audiobook using your vids and it's cut my editing time down from 5:1 to 2:1 , this is 1 kick a$$ program. Thanks for the time you spent making the in-depth vids they are a lifesaver! Recomending you to my VO group.
Geoff, how do you think, will iZotope significant improve RX in 10th version? We have Clarity Vx Pro, DeVerberate 3, Steinberg is leaving VST2.x (VST2 is still the only format to use in RX Audio Editor!). I think this bundle (especially Standard version) needs a lot of improvements. RX9 was for me more or less, but still disappointing...
denoise on the guitar made it sound worse...it killed all the natural overtones....thats the main problem with tools like RX....you end up with very clean, very sterile and very boring music that sounds artificial...yes i agree that for certain things it can save a badly recorded track or really bad problems like hum and clicks\pops...but once you start going down the rabbit hole it's very easy to also suck the life out of music
35:16 Focus your eyes on the Squeak panel. Do you see the Reduction slider? Good. Now slide it down from 4 - to 3, or to 2, or to 1. See how now there's no more sterile, boring, artificial, life-sucked-out "problem?" It's magic.
Also, white noise present in a recording creates naturally a false perception of a brighter sound, but the truth is that before the white noise was allowed in, the sound never was quite that bright. Removing the noise after you first ever heard the track with the noise present, makes you cry out in horror that the sound is now dull. Again, the easy way to compensate for white noise reduction is to lower the reduction slider thus letting a certain level of the noise stay. Still, in my opinion, Geoff did make the mistake of profiling the part of the white noise lying below 1000-2000 cycles, thus letting it all sound a tiny bit hermetic. In my experience, listeners barely, if at all, perceive the low range of white noise; it's the upper range, which creates the hissy sound, that they recognize as extraneous.
I just bought the RX 10 standard for nature recording. It would be helpful if you had some tutorial videos explaining how to use it for that. There's a few on the internet but not a whole lot. I guess this is a music channel so I understand if you wouldn't want to cover that topic.

Rx IZotope is like a 3 in 1 bottle of Wash. It does its job but its better to get different plugins that specialises specifically in those areas.
