Izotope Rx 7 De Reverb
De-reverb Reduce some of the reverb from a recorded space with the De-reverb audio plug-in and module in iZotope RX 7. Salvage recordings of dialogue containing too much reverb/acoustic space without needing to spend time/money on a reshoot or ADR.
It’s no secret that iZotope’s series of RX de-noising and waveform editing products have dominated the market for several years. They are the go-to processing effects for many post-production engineers and editors. That being said, it may be argued that releasing annual or even biennial paid updates without significant improvements is a bit exploitive. Many developers are guilty of this and sadly, this approach is integral to their business model and to the financial detriment of a loyal customer base.
So when RX7 came out, I was immediately suspicious as to the true value and necessity of yet another update. But as I soon discovered, RX7 represents a significant advancement and builds on the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning in which iZotope seems to be leading the way with other offerings such as the Neutron and Ozone bundles.
New Features
The Repair Assistant detects problems and suggests three ways to repair the problems, giving you a choice of repair processing effects chains that can be auditioned prior to rendering. You select the file and identify the nature of the material as dialog, music or other so the algorithm can be optimized for that purpose. The intensity or aggressiveness of each processing alternative can be changed overall with the slider just beneath the spectrogram displays.
You can mouse over the previews in the interface to see the effects chain that has been applied or click on the [Open as Module Chain] button to edit the effects order, individual parameters, specific frequency ranges to be processed, bypass selected effects or replace, remove or add the effects being used.
The processing by default focuses on clipping, clicks, hum and noise, or you can disable any of these and remove them from the analysis if they seem inappropriate based on the material.
Tools like Dialogue Isolate and Dialogue De-reverb ensure that your audience catches every word with perfect clarity. Professional surround support. With support through Atmos 7.1.2, RX 7 is ready to take on post production jobs in almost any professional multichannel format. IZotope RX 7 Standard is loaded with powerful restoration tools. RX 7 Advanced Reverb Bundle bundles iZotope's most powerful repair, dialogue, and reverb plug-ins—RX 7 Advanced, Dialogue Match, and Stratus.
De-reverb gives you control over the amount of ambient space captured in a recording. It can make large cathedrals sound like small halls and make roomy vocals sound like they were recorded in a treated space. De-reverb processes audio according to the reverberant/direct ratio (also known as wet/dry ratio) detected in the signal. The iZotope RX 7 Advanced Reverb Bundle is a software bundle including RX 7 Advanced, with Exponential Audio surround reverb and industry-first, instant reverb, ambience, and EQ matching for dialogue with Dialogue Match. Dialogue Contour & Dialogue De-Reverb Variable Time & Variable Pitch Available for download, iZotope RX 7 Advanced is the latest update to their audio-repair software, which is considered a staple within the recording, mastering, and audio-for-video, post-production communities. Plus, RX 7 Advanced now lets you repair multichannel audio up to 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos. Advanced-only Features DE-RUSTLE Instantly remove distracting lavalier mic noise and other forms of rustle from your dialogue. DE-WIND Reduce intermittent low-end wind rumble DIALOGUE CONTOUR Reshape the intonation of dialogue to rescue or improve a performance.
For less experienced users, the Repair Assistant will definitely seem like magic and more experienced users will benefit from a faster workflow and the ability to tweak the settings used in the automated process.
