mastermixaudiomedia Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Saw a demo at AES with the sound dept. from Deadliest Catch showing how they use RX3 to solve some of the myriad programs they have to deal with with their production sound... I'm putting in my order this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Louis Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Do you think I could throw RX3 at this problem? And am I springing for the dialog denoiser in the advanced package? I like to think my editors don't have to touch my product, so I've utterly fallen out of the nest as to what I can do - eqs, filters, destructive plugins - and what is best left alone. I just came from a shoot having calibrated my mixer to clipping level on the recorder, sending tone and adjusting, and checking my playbacks obsessively (Sounded like I was in the same room hearing the lines for myself, only drier than even monitoring my channels. Good sign, I thought. But once that Red Epic whirls up again...) only to find little piss puttering waves when I got back to my editor. (Would you believe as quoted from the engineers with the mixer manufacturer, the SD card might be the culprit? Or maybe it's the rudimentary visual input increments on the Tascam DR-40? Or maybe it is me ever foolishly concluding that I actually know what I'm doing.) The dialog sounds good, and it's all there. But gain brings a consistent noise floor along with it. (Insert expletive and heart palpitations, midnight mumbling and pacing here.) I can get about 7db gain before the constant background becomes onerous. And I want this to sound good out of laptop speakers. Here's a follow up: is there anything you cannot do in the plug-in version? Does the denoiser work in-line in a DAW or just the stand-alone version? Because I bet I could get this job done within the 10 days they offer as a fully functioning plug-in. In the meantime, I'll read up and see if I can contribute to these answers for the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiasnyc Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 James, The denoiser works also as an insert in a daw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Louis Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Cheers for that Mattias, Still, if it ends up being too expensive, maybe I'll hire you or rent your workstation? I'm also seeing that the standard version does have a single band denoiser. I'd have to analyze it further, but if its just the pre-amps on the recorder, then maybe the problem is consistent enough for me to tackle on my own with the version that I can afford.

James Louis Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Oh Senator, you're such a stinker sometimes and I love you. I hope you are not that hard on yourself when you make mistakes. "Too expensive for my own budget" I should say. Maybe you've read Ayn Rand too many times, but some of us don't have much money and life is not fair. So what does it say about you that you are kicking me while I'm lifeless in the dirt? If you could be any less pragmatic in your answers, not to mention your attempt at hijacking the topic, I would flag you for trolling. By "obsessively playing back," I mean confirming that it sounded good in my RETURN (as well as the phone outs of the recorder) and not taking that for granted. Not, "obsessively changing things trying to fix something that was odd but never getting it just right." No, truly, I like substance, and most likely I'll pay for some resemblance of it-unfortunately ex ante this time. And no, laptop speakers are not my monitors. They are unfortunately the first impression for many consumers and clients. I have the HS80m's and the 10w. Shoot me for not affording Adams. With your logic, it must be because my monitors are more stylish. I genuinely praise your input and always check your related threads, so were good.

mattiasnyc Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 James, If you have a small clip you can send it to me and as long as there's a quiet spot with tone only I can see what I can do on iZotope RX3. If it's sufficient then you know to either hire someone with it or if it's worth buying. I have some time this week so we could do that if you want. I'm also in NYC btw.

James Louis Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks Mattias, I spoke to an Izotope rep, and he thought I should get good results as well-sigh of relief that even he recommended the full band denoiser. I'd spring for it. I'll A/B with the advanced version and the dialog denoiser in order to see if it really weighs in with a better result. (Also, the dereverb - and maybe even pitch - will probably help it to analyze the background as well as cut better with VO dialog.) And I'd be happy to share a file with you here in the city. In the least, let me spot us a bite and touch base. It helps me to know a good dialog editor. Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plug-in versions, but there used to be about a :30 second limitation in track length with RX2 as a Pro Tools plug-in. I dunno if they fixed this or not. At the moment, I'm just using it as a standalone, then reimporting the piece back into Pro Tools as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time restriction is hugely expanded, it's only really an issue if you're at 192khz (I think it's still 30sec there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 There is a new version of Spectral Layers now out (v2), but I continue to hear there are problems with user support by Sony. The support on iZotope is fantastic -- they're very quick to answer emails and solve basic problems in my experience. And an update: I see that iZotope has just posted a 112-page PDF booklet of instructions on how to use iZotope RX 3, which is informative both on what it can do and what it can't do (like get the microphone closer to the subject): http://downloads.izotope.com/guides/iZotope_AudioRepair.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmfreak Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 The 30 seconds limitation was expanded to 45 seconds ( on 44.1 kHz ) - around 42 sec on 48 kHz - and 10 seconds on 192 kHz with an update Izotope released about a year ago. Version 2.10.656 offered the expanded capture time + further improvements. About to jump on the RX3 boat soon and happy to hear that 192 kHz capturing is poped up to 30 seconds. That's 3 times more than what was available on the latest RX2 firmware update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Newton Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks everyone sharing here, I just pulled the trigger on RX3 Adv. will see how it goes this weekend when I get a chance to play with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey everyone, At NAB Izotope mentioned a short-term price cut on RX3 and RX3 Advanced. RX3 Advanced is discounted from $1199USD to $749 until May 1. https://www.izotope.com/en/store/ So perhaps RX4 is around the corner...I have no idea. But thought some of you would be interested...

Mark Orusa Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Didn't RX3 come out just last year (2013)? I'd be surprised if they came out with a new version already. iZotope had a similar sale at the end of last year. I'm sure they sell a lot during these sales. Mark O.

Philip Perkins Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 RX4 has some very cool new stuff. Fave so far is the "make my file legal" app ("loudness"). Spectral Repair has a few more features that are very welcome. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
