Izotope RX2 Tutorials for Post Production

by Shaun Farley

Just doing some cross-posting from my website:

I decided to put these two tutorials together to share some simple tricks that I use in Izotope RX2. They’re nothing overly complex, but they are kind of unique….and handy to boot. I just thought I’d share them and hope you find them useful.


The other video can be viewed in this post.

    It is so inconvenient that RX2 doesn’t has a customizable crossfade function when you copy and paste time/frequency regions and any crossfade capability in general. Yes, there is no clips when I paste a region, but I can’t replace large sections because I can’t create the smooth transition. It’s really strange.

    @Conant – well, it’s not all that surprising, considering that it’s not designed to be an editing program. while i would welcome it’s inclusion, i’m happy to see them focusing on the noise reduction tools and algorithms.

    Hey Shaun,

    Thanks for posting the vids! This is something I’ve been thinking about the last couple of weeks. I reckon it would be good to find a place to share all our tips/techniques in one place. Maybe an SSD topic?

    Been tweeting with a couple of soundies regarding RX techniques and would find it useful to find somewhere to pool all our knowledge (vids, etc included).

    Seems almost one of those ‘black arts’ when it comes to noise reduction at times lol

    Any plans for further modules such as Denoiser?

    Keep up the hard work!

    Sure, a SocialSoundDesign.com thread sounds like the perfect place to do that. I don’t have any plans for other tutorials at the moment, though I did start thinking about it after doing these two. These were just two tricks that I had developed that noone I was speaking with had tried out/discovered yet. I’ll think about it, and will do one if I feel I have anything unique to share.

    hey shaun,

    this is rad, thanks so much for sharing. i’m new to RX2 but am i nuts to want a preview on that attenuate section of SR before processing? is that function hidden somewhere?

    thanks again!

    Great stuff Shaun! Definitely going to use these techniques soon.

    i don’t think you’re nuts, katie. you can at least undo/redo to compare and make sure you’re happy with the results. it’s what i did in the video.

    Thanks Shaun, great tips to add to the toolbox!

    iZotope does crossfade most editing operations. The length of this crossfade is given in Preferences > Misc > Selection feathering.
