[@Drfresh1402]

So useless and unreasonably expensive, right?

[@ElFareh]

@@Drfresh1402 Not to mention overkill. Think the end user will pick up on the £500 worth of updates you've bought in the past 3 years? I'm on 10 standard, I bought it for midside distortion.

RX's results get a lot better if you do small changes many times, rather than one big change. Try running a 3 dB cut 4 times instead of 1 12dB cut.

[@Rob.anonymous]

Since izotope and Native Instruments are one they completely lost the ground. I own all plugins latest versions and RX 10 Advanced and they offer me 350$ for a upgrade - seriously? sorry but for me this upgrade policy is unacceptable and need to boycott.

As a beta tester of RX11, i was very impressed with how receptive N.I.'s product team was to our opinions, critiques, and recommendations. The additions, in their full totality, are definitely worth the updgrade

[@s1m0bg]

I never felt that RX updates are worth if you go from 9 to 10 or from 10 to 11. The money just don't worth the small changes they add. + almost every time I try the the new features, 90% of the time I just go back to spectral repair and us it for 80% of the tasks :D When I worked for an organization I was always with the latest versions (maybe this was the time I felt the new updates don't give me that much to worth the money, and the most of the new stuff is just a marketing assets for Izotope to show something "new") :D Right now the only reason I want to update from RX 8 is because RX8 is working under Rosetta and the performance is slightly slow :(

I wished any of the beta testers would made a feedback on the lack of abilities you get when working with selections... At least I wrote a long feedback list 5 or 6 years ago for some great improvements when working with selections, but neither RX8, nor RX 9 nor RX10 nor RX11 brought any quality of life improvements here. Still can't click several regions to quickly add them to a selection. Can't move a range selection locked to a frequency. This frustrates me every day while working.

I agree. I have RX 10, I use it to clean up studio dialogue and that's it. It already has the features I need. There's an arms race on stem separation software so why commit to something when there will be rapid improvement in that area in the short term? RX, while brilliant for so long, now seems too high-end in cost and specific in its feature set. Maybe i'm missing something? In which case I'm happy to wait until there's an obvious reason to buy. And of course next year when 12 comes out, they throw 11 at you for next to nothing such is their marketing practice.

[@FinnbogiRagnarRagnarsson]

Had RX6. Rebalance is a major new feature and works well, other features are similar, but ML has made major improvements in some cases. Right now there is a decent upgrade price from RX standard or advanced.

[@benwolland8987]

You've been able to do the loudness graph in reaper for at least 5 years using the SWS extension. The analyse loudness tool has an option to print the curves to automation lanes. It's not exactly perfect because your scale is obviously not specific to dB. I'm guessing it's just relative. The main thing it tells you is the shape of the lufs values over time. Which is basically what Rx is doing there. More importantly, it's free to reaper users.

Still no ARA support for DAWs that support it. Very little in terms of new features since about RX8. High upgrade pricing, and basically no incentive to spend the money.

Not seeing the incentive to keep supporting iZotope.

[@chrislee8343]

I can't speak to their other software but the stems from RX11's music rebalance have way less artifacts than Acon Digital Remix, which is what I currently use for the same functions

[@elrapanda]

The adobe podcast tool (free) is better for this kind of work, the AI not clean your audio, it rebuild it itself with AI, its like vectorize your vocals. It means is not your voice anymore but you get a clean recording, for outdoors recordings its pretty good and I bet is not the same for music, but in the future who knows. Im an long time Izotope RX user of course.

I mean plosives stick out like a sore thumb in the spectrogram! Where are your neural networks on that one iZotope?! Interestingly, some previously Advanced features are now in Standard - so plenty of Advanced users don't need to be anymore..

[@robertniessner554]

There are so many useful older tools in RX which could have been improved. On regard De-Plosive - I found the setting "Maintain Low Energy" as a very good starting point to remove plosives.

[@AndyMaherVoicePro]

@@robertniessner554 Agreed. De-plosive does well with most low-level pops that live in the frequencies below the human voice. For those big accidental pops that can go up to 200-300Hz or higher though, I have to 'draw' them out in brush mode, which is as time consuming as it is simple.

Honestly I have RX7 and i'm not sure I would upgrade... Unless people here really confirm that the denoising,dialogue isolate, ai tolls, etc are better... I don't need more functionalities, I need these existing algorithms to get better and better at what they are already good at. Also, did someone compare the music stems separation (or music rebalance, etc) ouputs of RX10-11, Lastest LogicX release (11 ?), and Moses app ? Can consistant pattern can be drawn out of this comparaison ?

For a more accurate test with the stem splitter, you should load in a shit quality mp3. RX is gonna have a much easier time with a higher quality file (eg - 48k - 24bit), as opposed to a terrible one (128kbps - 320kbps mp3 if you're lucky). This is how most people are going to use this feature (at least from what I've seen)

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

I am finding that the RX11 new improved Music Rebalance is indeed better than the v10 version. It's separating those stems more cleanly, with far less chirping artifacts than earlier versions of RX . And the new Sensitivity knobs do indeed tweak your results for the better, if you experiment with them.

[@FinnbogiRagnarRagnarsson]

I had the same feeling, in what I have seen. RX11 seems as good as Ripx in stem separation, Ripx stems even sound a bit tinnier in an example I saw, having some ambience missing.

Sounds like you recorded your voice through a megaphone post processing with RX. Though I have had earlier versions of RX save recordings, I find the interface cumbersome and not always great results. My experience with RX 11 is about the same for extract, don't like the ammount of the artifacts. I find that most of the repair plugins have too many artifacts. I also don't like haveing to resort to the IZotope editor for full functionality of some of the plugins and the rendering time is glacial. Rebalance isn't fully functional as a plugin in Reaper but is ok in IZotope editor, it's slow even with an i9 based CPU and 64 gb RAM and I still hear artifacts. Unfortunately, it's still the best audio repair package out there.
