Identifying Audio Problems in the RX Spectrogram

The key to successful audio restoration lies in your ability to understand what you're seeing in iZotope RX and distinguish the noises and audio events that need to be corrected. In this video we help you identify the problems with your file and show which tools will give you the results you want.

This is incredibly powerful. The most user friendly spectral editing tool I've seen by far

Excellent explanations. I just upgraded to RX6 Standard (from Elements). This thing is like magic. RX is going to take my location audio to a new level. The online documentation is a bit sketchy, but all the izotope videos are fantastic.

Great tutorial, especially the part where you used spectral repair almost like a photoshop eraser tool! Thank you

[moniquebagwellvo]

Thank you for this great tutorial! It will definitely come in handy when I have to delve deep into a sound file to remove the annoying nose and mouth clicks.

Thank you for the explanation, i going to use this tips for acoustic speech analysis in voice rehabilitation

Oh MAN this was super helpful! I’m still trying to figure out where background traffic noise is sitting in my recordings (got LOTS going on with c/u horse hooves hitting dirt and weeds etc) but this vid can maybe help me learn to isolate certain sounds. If anyone has tips please do let me know!

Where are the tutorials and the cookbook mentioned in this video?

[Themars]

is the rx cook book still operational? can't load the page at all.thx

[robgronotte]

At 8:30 he highlights the portion to remove, which includes the visible vertical lines (which I think is a clicking sound), but then after he deletes the gap, the vertical line is still there. Can anyone explain why?

[mattflores]

this is always just in rx advance? i had bought rx standard just to find out that the settings you showcase are just available in rx advanced, do i had to throw in another 500 $. 😢

I have audio files from ship black box recordings which consist of lot of background noise what modules should I use for those repairs?

[fouried]

Why does the cookbook not exist anymore?

[brianmoore]

So this functions as a stand alone program? I'm not a pro, just an audiophile who owns a few records and tapes that were never released on CD, and I have some old band recordings that have a lot of audio problems. This seems almost miraculous, and for $400 anyone could buy this, if you count music as important in your life.

The main problem for me is trying to install Izotope RX, its a pain in the arse

[laserstar]

I bought rx 8 elements. It says it comes with the spectrogram and stuff. How can i open the spectrogram in my DAW?

[SAULSAAVEDRA]

This is a powerfull program, I wish I can buy it just for personal use.

[generalflux]

I'm having an issue for whenever I import an audio file into iZotope and play it all I hear is a buzzing/static sound.

[florentmagere]

Is it possible to open the repair assistant in a DAW ??

[Неизвестный-юо]

How to just freaking delete the entire spectral wave i have selected instead of removing it a little bit?

[pandeni]

How do I get my audio into rx7?
Coz as for now it's rx7 declick, algorithm, sensitivity, frequency skew, click widening
