Description
What is RX?
iZotope RX is the industry trailblazer for intelligent audio repair and enhancement. Powered by machine learning technology, RX’s comprehensive suite of tools tackles everything from common audio problems to the trickiest of sonic rescues, for both music and audio post production. The result? Clean, clear, and compelling sound.
Time and time again, RX has introduced groundbreaking features that solve the unsolvable – earning major awards that include two Engineering Emmy Awards and a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The quick and reliable “magic” of RX is trusted by audio professionals working across film, TV, music, podcasts, video games, and content of all types.
RX is available as a standalone audio editing application that includes a suite of software plugins for use with digital audio workstations (DAWs).
What does RX do?
RX combines the power of visual-based spectral editing with purpose-built tools for fixing, enhancing, and polishing your audio. With RX’s Spectrogram, you can visually target and replace unwanted sounds like dog barks, string squeaks, and sirens. Tackle specific issues like clicks, clips, hum, rustles, and background noise with bespoke repair modules, and get even more surgical with tools that can re-shape the intonation of dialogue, remove reverb, match ambiences and EQ profiles, and much more. Plus, if you’re looking for a helping hand to get great results fast, RX’s Repair Assistant intelligently recognizes and proposes fixes for specific problems that you can tweak to your liking with easy-to-use dials.
What’s new in RX 11?
With RX 11, we’re introducing new state-of-the-art neural networks that supercharge our machine learning algorithms, enabling real-time, low latency processing for Dialogue Isolate, the highest quality stem separation for Music Rebalance, and improved intelligence and speed for Repair Assistant. We’ve also added an industry-first Loudness Optimize tool alongside the new Streaming Preview so you can release tracks in confidence, major upgrades to our Audio Random Access (ARA) processing for a seamless workflow, and additional ARA host support (coming soon!).
