  • In this episode, we demonstrate how to use Izotope’s RX Voice De-noise plugin to reduce things like fan or any steady sort of noise in the background. We dive into the details of how the plugins works and what each of the settings do so that you can optimize your recordings and de-noise effectively. The Voice De-noise plugin is part of Izotope RX Elements, Standard, and Advanced.

    Finally, a professional who shows us in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand way how to use RX tools. Thank you!!! I have been hoping for years that Izotope would do this, and have given them customer feedback to this effect (e.g. like starting an "RX Academy"). There is a whole universe of video editors out there who know little about audio editing and need this knowledge! To Curtis: Would you also be so kind to do a short video on the Spectral Denoise plug in? (I have the RX9 plug in embedded in FCPX). Thanks again.

    I love this plugin, and probably use it more than I should, most often with default settings. I'll need to try the gentle setting a few times and see if I notice the difference you're talking about here. When I have too much noise for this plugin, I'll use the spectral denoise plugin with a learning pass to get a noise profile. Amazing what these plugins can do!

    Please could you consider a video on removing breath sounds - maybe using the Rx de-Breath - but also using tools available in standard apps (I use FCP), such as a Noise Gate.

I mostly remove breath sounds by manually ducking them in FCP.

    Hey Curtis ..thanks for starting this series. Been eyeing the iZotope plugins for some time...saving up. Definitely looking forward to any help with de-reverb. My home studio is in good shape, but for a freelance gig I've been working on, we've been filming in a large garage, and while sound blankets have helped, there's still more reverb than I would like...a light reduction would be helpful. Using a shotgun mic about 6 inches from the talent. I know something like a short condenser would also probably help, but for now, Im limited to what I have.
    Anyway, a real lengthy way of saying thanks! Haha.

    A bit late in seeing this one, I'm a big fan of RX. I've been using RX 8 Standard for a while now. I did upgrade to 9, but I haven't really done any recordings recently to need it. Anyway, I've got a nice batch setup that includes this module. Slightly different settings, but achieve good results. My two main issues are AC sound that may or may not be present and, funny enough, the potential of the dishwasher going in the background. I literally use the dining room table and record late at night. But the dishwasher will frequently be started before I'm planning on doing a session. This module effectively eliminates that sound. Even at its loudest point.
    The modules I use, in order, are Mixing (the Zoom H1 is mono for me), De-clip (just in case), De-click, Voice De-Noise, De-reverb (just to flatten things out a bit more), EQ, and Loudness Control. Works really well as a batch. I just now have to import my presets into RX 9 when the time comes when I create more content. Always great videos and you explain things very clearly!

    In clips where we do not have just noise and there's constantly ONLY sound, adaptive mode itself does a pretty great job. Because if you do not have just noise, it is hard to properly utilize learn, or at all. So I find in those cases either adaptive or manually tweaking it myself and listening to the sound leads to decent results.

    This was really great - and wish I'd seen this video when I was struggling with De-Noise in Elements years ago! And your mouth click one - I came to the same opinion - and also had CPU issues with running DeClick or some of the other plugins bar Breath Control - so I have that in the stack just reducing those, and then pre-process the vocals with Mouth DeClick - and your settings were pretty much what I've been using, which is reassuring!
    The one that really confuses me now, and I tend to just tweak existing presets is the Spectral De-Noise in RX Standard. It's like the bridge on Star Trek that plugin! But the quality is so much better I feel, even though there is more processing overheard? I just batch the podcast vocals in the background.

Seems simple enough but not easy to find that tradeoff of losing character. Your video gave me some good ideas to try before the next attempt. Including running it through multiple passes.
    Maybe I had imagined it differently in in my head but it's just kind of a form of advanced EQ'?

    Hello Curtis. This talk was so clear, cordial and helpful! Five months later and I'm looking at denoising 200-plus CDs of informal conversation and talks, some with horrendous noise, captured on cheap casette recorders, late 1970s and early 1980s. I have RX7 Standard and, now, RX Elements Suite with RX8, Ozone, Nectar, and Neutron Elements. I'll be working on an M1 Mac Mini. Nice to know I can do a couple of passes. I wonder if Voice De-Noise or Spectral Noise Reduction will be the best for the really ugly tracks.

    Nice job on this video. I have been using RX8 and RX10 now for a while, and have been trying to learn on my own. This video really helps me understand how to take care of noise. I was just curious if you have a video on Spectral Denoise from Izotope? I tried searching for it, but nothing came back. I would like to have an explanation, not only for the basic functions, but also the functions in the drop down box at the bottom of the screen.

    Hi Curtis, great video thanks for putting in the time to share it!
    I have a question: When do you NOT use adaptive mode? ie. what kind of problems are best solved with the non-adaptive setting?
    I process a 3 track podcast every week where the tracks are 1.5-2.5hrs long each. I have found that non-adaptive gives me better results considering that I am applying the de-noise over such a wide swath of audio with loud and quiet moments.
    Thanks in advance!

    • @curtisjudd
      @curtisjudd  2 года назад +1

      Hi Chad, adaptive mode works pretty well in most situations, but I have encountered one or two where it left some artifacts that sounded like it was obviously changing it's configuration mid-audio-clip. It is usually pretty reliable, though. So I don't hesitate to use adaptive mode most of the time and just keep an ear out for any odd transitions it may leave. But for long-form content like what you describe, the manual "Learn" mode is probably safer.

Have you found any others really useful? Or maybe I'm using them wrong?

      Hi Clayton. To use any plugins during a livestream, you would need a host app which can run VST, VST3, AAX, or AU plugins. I don't know whether you're using Windows or Mac, but on Mac, I'd probably use Audio Hijack as the host app. I haven't used the plugin on music recordings yet.

      It is possible. On Windows, ASIO Link Pro is the best. My setup is REAPER > ASIO Link Pro as output devices > set the ASIO Link Pro's input devices in Windows as default properly > OBS/Discord/games/etc. Then make sure the programs are using the ASIO Link Pro's input devices which it has installed into Windows.
      I use REAPER because sometimes I need to record my own voices while livestreaming, so it's more of an all in one solution.

    I've recently used my RX denoiser ver 5 in the auto/adaptive mode on an odd piece of audiobook I had recorded almost a decade ago with a terribly noisy combination of mic and preamp (the latter being Line6 UX 1 POD Studio). I keep wondering how I used to tolerate such amounts of noise in the past. Anyway, I cranked RX up to max and still got a wonderfully noiseless voice recording, which I could still retouch a bit. No DAW denoiser could achieve such results.

    Just one question. Did you "learn" the plugin where the noice where "manualy" and then adapted it at first or was it just to show the differens between manual and learning and adapt? I got it like my first thaught.

    • @curtisjudd
      @curtisjudd  2 года назад

      Hi Magnus, I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. In cases where you don't have a clear section of only noise, the adaptive mode can work nicely. Also, if the noise changes a bit throughout the clip, the adaptive mode can be helpful. In some cases, however, the adaptive mode can make some rather obvious changes and the manual/learn mode may be preferred. You have to experiment with each audio clip too find which works best for that particular clip.

And never had any issues when I cut my talking head shots. But now when I use the F8n and use the filters the sound is perfect until I start cutting at the beginning of each of cut it muffels the sound and then returns to normal after a few seconds? If I don't use any Adobe filters I can cut all day long and the sound stays the same. But then I have the background hiss?

  • @patrickchase5614
    @patrickchase5614 2 года назад

    Does surgical vs gentle mostly control the frequency selectivity of the gates' control signals? In other words, does it expand (gentle) or narrow (surgical) the bandwidth over which the input is integrated to obtain the control signal for each individual gate, such that neighboring gates will tend to behave similarly (since a loud sound at a single frequency will impact multiple adjacent bands/gates instead of just the one that contains it). At any rate that's what I would instinctively try if somebody asked me to build one of these.
    I'm surprised that applying multiple rounds of the algorithm would perform better than a single, stronger round. Back when I did image- and signal-processing we considered that sort of thing as an indicator that the filter was deficient in how it implements the stronger setting and needed to be fixed.

      Voice De-noise only removes noise. Dialogue Isolate allows you to independently tell the plugin how much ambient sound to keep in the recording. This may sound counter-intuitive, but in film mixing, one often has to match different microphones and having the ability to dial in exactly how much of the ambient sound you remove and how much you keep is really helpful.
