iZotope Introduces RX 11 Audio Processing Software

May 15 2024, 00:35
iZotope, now a part of Native Instruments, announced RX 11, the latest version of the famous audio repair and forensics suite, now featuring new machine learning tools for tackling noise, and loudness management tools for music streaming. The new software update combines the power of visual-based spectral editing with new intelligent real-time dialogue isolation and music repair features, plus new purpose-built tools for fixing and polishing audio.
 

Featuring a powerful standalone editor and a full suite of plugins, iZotope RX 11 focuses on solving difficult problems for audio post production, music, and content creation. Infused with state-of-the-art machine learning technology, RX 11 adds new tools and improves beloved modules to help users handle everything from common audio problems, to the trickiest of sonic rescues.

With the famous iZotope RX Spectrogram, users can visually target specific issues like unwanted reverb, clicks, clipping, hum, and background noise with tailored repair modules. But with the new RX 11 version, iZotope now enables great results faster. The next generation of RX’s Repair Assistant intelligently recognizes and addresses specific problems, which can be adjusted with easy-to-use dials. 

iZotope RX 11 comes in three tiers: Elements, Standards, and Advanced. Each offers new features to help deliver the highest-quality audio. The Dialogue Isolate module [Standard, Advanced] has been overhauled with a new neural network and now includes Dialogue De-Reverb, allowing users to control noise and unwanted reverb in real time. Available in RX Standard for the first time, with the highest-quality mode and multi-band processing reserved for RX Advanced.

Users will also be able to get the most out of their masters with the new Loudness Optimize module, an unprecedented approach for controlling the LUFS algorithm to maximize music’s perceived loudness for streaming platforms. A smart Learn function analyzes every opportunity to optimize a song to sound its best. The new Streaming Preview module lets compare how different services like Spotify, Apple Music, etc, will adjust the music, so there are no surprises after release.
With the new Music Rebalance [Standard, Advanced], using cutting-edge neural networks, RX 11 allows users to easily create instrumentals and vocal stems from a full mix, prep for a remix, or make changes even when there are no stems. And the next generation of Repair Assistant also includes upgraded machine learning for improved quality and speed, and additional controls for more flexibility.

Another important update is the possibility to visualize and manipulate the center and side components of any audio in the RX app, allowing to apply processing from any module to the center and side components of audio, separately. This opens up greater flexibility for repair tasks, making it possible to address issues only present in the mid channel or just the sides individually. 
 
In the Dialogue Contour [Advanced only], the new Formant and Variation controls let users adjust the character and expressivity of a voice, ensuring dialogue edits are delivered seamlessly, no matter how many takes are stitched together. And it's always possible to use the spectrogram to find and fix issues using the Spectral Editor ARA [Standard, Advanced]. This tool now includes Gain, De-click, and De-hum processing, along with Spectral Repair. Currently available for Apple Logic Pro (in Rosetta mode) with additional host support coming in a free update promised for Summer 2024.
 

Other new outstanding features include the possibility to quickly refresh audio devices in Preferences, without restarting the RX app. RX 11 Advanced and Post Production Suite 8 are now available with multi-seat enterprise licensing and deployment options for 10+ licenses. Users can take advantage of dynamic licensing via iLok Server, and optional annual pricing models. 

RX 11 is now available from the iZotope shop and select retailers, with RX 11 Elements starting at $99 USD ($49 introductory pricing); RX 11 Standard costing $399 USD ($299 introductory pricing); and RX 11 Advanced selling for $1199 USD ($799 introductory pricing). iZotope's complete Post Production Suite 8 sells for $1799 USD, with $999 introductory pricing available through June 13, 2024.

In June 2023, iZotope, Brainworx, and Plugin Alliance became part of Native Instruments, following a complicated process of mergers, external investments, and aquisitions. Founded in Berlin in 1996, Native Instruments now encompasses offices in Boston, Langenfeld, London, and Shenzhen.
