My guest is Mike Rozett, Principal Product Manager at iZotope (overseeing RX, Dialogue Match, and Insight).

Mike and I discussed MANY modules of RX including:

  • Breath Control
  • De-click (which saved my skin many times with Zencastr years ago. Also there’s a preset called GSM Cell Phone Buzz!)
  • De-clip
  • De-hum
  • De-plosive
  • De-reverb (this module has been around longer than Dialogue De-reverb)
  • De-rustle
  • De-wind
  • Dialogue De-reverb (AI powered, iZotope’s most sophisticated algorithm, *Use this module for speech instead of regular de-reverb)
  • Guitar De-noise
  • Mouth De-click
  • Spectral De-noise (Using the Learn function. Also, output noise only to hear exactly what this module is removing)
  • Spectral Recovery (AI powered, uses spectral patching which looks for gaps and missing audio, etc.)
  • Voice De-noise

Other Pro tips: 

  • When you need to do more extreme processing, do multiple passes using less processing strength instead of doing one pass of extreme strength. 
  • Start with a preset then tweak to taste.

We also briefly touched on Dialogue Match and Insight.

Thanks for being a great guest and sharing so much with us, Mike!
