[@johnherdt]

I think I use RX close to the way you describe, going back to version 6. For every guitar or bass part I record I start the session with a short noise sample as a separate file and use it with Spectral De-noise to de-noise takes before I start comping. Then I go through the final comp second by second manually removing noise and clicks using mostly Spectral Repair and Voice De-noise (works great on guitar and bass). I don't use any of the Assistant stuff. If I worked with audio that didn't have a clean noise sample I might try an assistant. I get the upgrades mostly to stay current with my macOS. If I was doing forensic work I'd get way more serious about the Assistant modules.

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.

[@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.

[@KieseMusic]

Updated to RX8 back then because of Music Rebalance - since then I checked every update, but there has never been a groundbreaking new feature added that would justify those upgrade prices...

Can consistant pattern can be drawn out of this comparaison ?

[@RudeRecording]

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.
