iZotope RX 11 Audio Editor Is Here

The latest update features machine learning noise reduction, music streaming tools, dialoge isolation, music rebalancing…

If you take a look at the right side of RX’s screen, you can see that fixing or improving pretty much anything you can imagine with audio is within its repertoire. We’ve been working with it in our studio, and a full review is forthcoming. But for now, a spoiler: it’s a remarkable program.

The following is from iZotope’s release:

New in RX 11 

• Dialogue Isolate: Combines dialogue de-noising and de-reverbing in a single, realtime plugin and in an updated module. The Advanced plugin and module also include multi-band processing and a new offline high-quality mode. 
• Streaming Preview: Hear music the way that the rest of the world will by applying the same loudness normalization and lossy data encoding that streaming platforms will apply. 
• Loudness Optimize: Address potential issues where the loudness measurement is higher than it should be. 
• Music Rebalance: A new neural net provides higher quality musical source separation than previously. 
• Repair Assistant: The addition of machine learning technology provides better processing and faster learning of your audio. 
• Dialogue Contour: Change the character and expressivity of a voice with new Formant and Variation controls, and see those changes reflected in the new pitch curve. 
• Mid/Side Channel Mode: visualize and edit audio in Mid / Side configuration in the main RX window. 

Refresh audio devices: Changing audio drivers in a session no longer requires restarting RX. 

iZotope, a part of Native Instruments, today announced RX 11, the latest version of Hollywood’s favorite toolkit for intelligent audio repair. Featuring a powerful standalone editor and a full suite of plugins, RX 11 solves unsolvable problems for audio post production, music, and content creation. Infused with state-of-the-art machine learning technology, RX 11 adds new tools and improves beloved modules to help you handle everything from common audio problems, to the trickiest of sonic rescues. 

What does iZotope RX do? 
RX combines the power of visual-based spectral editing with purpose-built tools for fixing and polishing audio. With the RX Spectrogram, you can visually target specific issues like unwanted reverb, clicks, clipping, hum, and background noise with tailored repair modules. Plus, to get great results fast, the next generation of RX’s Repair Assistant intelligently recognizes and addresses specific problems, which can be adjusted with easy-to-use dials. 

What’s new in iZotope RX 11? 

RX 11 comes in three tiers—Elements, Standards, and Advanced. Each offers new features to help you deliver the highest-quality audio. 

● Mid/Side mode Standard, Advanced]
○ Visualize and manipulate the center and side components of your 

audio in the RX app, so you can apply processing from any module to the center and side components of audio, separately. This opens up greater flexibility for repair tasks, making it possible to address issues only present in the mid channel or just the sides individually. 

● Dialogue Contour Advanced only]
○ The new Formant and Variation controls let you adjust the character 

and expressivity of a voice, ensuring your dialogue edits are delivered 

seamlessly, no matter how many takes are stitched together. ● Spectral Editor ARA Standard, Advanced] 

○ Use the spectrogram to find and fix issues without ever leaving your DAW. Spectral Editor now includes Gain, De-click, and De-hum processing, along with Spectral Repair. Currently available for Apple Logic Pro (in Rosetta mode) with additional host support coming in a free update this summer. 

● Audio Devices Refresh Standard, Advanced]
○ Quickly refresh audio devices in Preferences, without restarting the 

RX app. 

● Multi-seat enterprise licensing
○ RX 11 Advanced and Post Production Suite 8 are now available with 

multi-seat enterprise licensing and deployment options for 10 licenses. Take advantage of dynamic licensing via iLok Server, and optional annual pricing models. For more information, contact enterprise@native-instruments.com.
