The previously available Static mode could generate a looping piece of ambience from a section of dialogue-free audio. This is designed to make (studio-recorded) ADR performances sound like they’re recorded in the same location as the original audio, or you can simply use it to fill in gaps between edited sections of dialogue recorded on location. The next headline feature addition is the Complex mode for Ambience Match. But, ultimately, it’s worth it as you need to put in much less work to get high-quality results. This extra processing power does come at a small price the render times are a bit longer. Where the old algorithm tends to sound a little like the background noise is gated around the vocal, the new one remains stable and clean throughout. The results are quite dramatic on more extreme settings, as the new processing provides noticeably cleaner results. We tested it on a range of problematic vocal recordings and used the compare feature to flick between the old and new algorithms. First up, Dialogue Isolate uses a brand new neural network to separate dialogue from noise much more effectively. Although it comes with a high price tag, it seems pretty reasonable when you look at the number of tools and features RX provides.Įnough with the catch-up though, let’s get on to what’s new in version 9. It comes in standalone and plug-in versions (including Audio Suite), supports surround formats, and even has a time-saving AI Repair Assistant for quick repair jobs. This is alongside the signature spectrogram view, where you can use drawing tools to remove and fix tiny imperfections in a recording, and a suite of more functional sound editing features. You can also change the inflection of a spoken performance, fix wow and flutter in old tape recordings, and isolate and remix the balance of instruments in a music mix. There are several different modules for eliminating noise from vocals, dialogue, guitars and other recordings.

The more obvious modules allow you to remove clicks, rustle, crackle, breath noises, mouth clicks, reverb, mic bleed and more. Suffice to say, it has become an industry staple for a reason, and if you have an audio problem, then it’s likely that RX has a clever solution.
