iZotope, Inc. released updates to its RX family of audio repair and enhancement software. The seventh generation of RX is spread across RX 7 Advanced and the RX Post Production Suite, which focus on the needs of audio post professionals, while RX 7 Standard and RX Elements solve common (and uncommon) audio issues faced by musicians.

The updates in version 7 are said to represent the latest advances in iZotope’s assistive audio technology for a sped-up workflow. Some of the highlights in RX7 Standard include:

Repair Assistant – An intelligent repair tool which analyzes audio to detect noise, clipping, clicks, and more, then offers three processing suggestions at three different intensities.

Music Rebalance – Using an algorithm trained with machine learning, Music Rebalance performs source separation by intelligently identifying vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments. Users can then individually enhance elements of a stereo audio track, making it possible to adjust a mix without multitracks.

Remove/Isolate Vocals – Create instrumental versions of songs by removing the vocal elements, or isolate the vocal to prepare a remix without access to individual tracks or stems.

RX Elements has also been updated with a streamlined version of Repair Assistant, offering a single repair suggestion with a choice of three intensity levels.

Availability & Pricing

RX 7 Standard and RX Elements are now available at www.izotope.com/rx and select retailers. All new products are on sale now through October 31, 2018. Pricing details for new customers and upgrading customers can be found at www.izotope.com/rxpricing. Owners of previous versions of RX can find their upgrade coupons in their iZotope account.

RX Post Production Suite 3

RX Post Production Suite 3 is also available now.

It includes the new RX 7 Advanced and Insight 2, as well as Neutron 2 Advanced, RX Loudness Control, and bonus content from Pro Sound Effects and Groove3.

RX 7 Advanced Features

Compared to RX7 Standard, RX7 Advanced presents deeper control over dialogue alongside workflow enhancements. Some of the highlights include:

Dialogue Contour – reshape the intonation of dialogue to rescue or improve a performance, powered by pitch correction that is tailored to speech and designed to adjust the inflection of words within a phrase.

Dialogue De-reverb – reduce or remove unwanted reverb from dialogue clips using an algorithm trained with machine learning and optimized to separate spoken dialogue from reverberant signal content.

Pro Tools AudioSuite plug-ins – save time when fixing production audio by staying within Pro Tools and using new AudioSuite plug-ins to access features like De-Rustle and Dialogue Isolate.

Multi-channel support – tackle audio issues that appear in any or every surround channel up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2.

In the time since iZotope’s audio metering and analysis plug-in, Insight, first launched, surround sound has prompted new channel standards for film and TV, broadcast loudness targets have changed, and entirely new systems of measuring audio have been developed. Insight 2 has been completely overhauled in this regard, says iZotope. Some of the new features include:

New Intelligibility Meter – get a clearer picture of how an audience will experience the dialogue with a DSP that measures the intelligibility of dialogue compared to the rest of the mix, ensuring that the dialogue level can be clearly heard in different listening environments.

A new look – resize and customize the new user interface, redesigned to be easier to read at a glance

Multichannel support – analyze audio in surround sound up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2.

Global loudness standard support – set loudness targets for latest standards including EBU R128, BS.1770-1, BS.1770-2/3/4, ATSC A/85, and OP-59.
