I use RX just about everyday. I like how you can set it up as your default editor in Logic (or any DAW probably). I just used it to isolate the vocals from a less than par live recording. I was then able to take the performers vocals and process them individually along with her studio backing tracks. It turned out better than I imagined.

That's a great idea, setting RX as your default editor! I have Wavelab set as mine, but I rarely use it (used to be common practice back in the more destructive-edit days).

This was a quick overview of how I use RX daily for cleaner vocal recordings (these were rather extreme examples. Except for the end, haha.). How do you use RX? What would you like to see in the future about RX? Let me know in the comments below.

I tried the same thing in Audacity and the result was very similar. I used only 2 passes and 2 noise sampling zones. With more passes and more noise samples it can do even better. It just takes more time and more careful sculpting. Another thing is... You should de-hum first and then add the noise reduction after it.

Oh, cool! Yes, a little more time and tuning could probably get it even better. RX is a real gift for voiceovers! Thanks for watching.

Love your plugin reviews man! Super helpful. Could you make a tier list type of video that shows all of your current favourite plugins? Perhaps seperate videos for mixing, mastering, synths, experimental, etc.

Thanks, Tanner! I'm super-glad you're enjoying the videos. Yes, that is a great idea: like, "My Top 5 Mastering Plugins", etc. I'm planning on doing a general "Best of 2021", and I like the idea of being more specific like that. I'll add it to my list! Great to get feedback, and thanks for watching!

@@palebluedotstudios Ya, I think it makes more sense to make separate videos for each plugin type as it'll be hard to make a single tier list for every type! It'll be cool to see which plugins you reach for the most.

@@palebluedotstudios I am so glad to hear that! This week, I overcame so many of my technical issues this week alone. I just uploaded my latest ACX book, but really it was a short poem and the thing I couldn't figure out was the reverb. I just tried the steps per your video on my sample ACX upload and it worked great using WavePad not iZotope. For some reason my RX8 didn't have the reverb plugin. Weird. Anyway, applying your steps, I was able to get that echoey sound out of my sample read and I am thrilled! The area I need assistance with is compression and equalizer. I don't know how or understand when it is necessary to utilize these tools.

@@VEBlessed1 An audiobook! Very cool; congrats on that! Some versions of RX don't have De-Reverb, which is a shame. Accentize DeRoom is an excellent cheap alternative, if you need one. As for compression and equalizer, I will definitely post a "My Vocal Chain" video soon and explain the fundamentals of EQ and compression. Thanks for the feedback! And good luck with the audiobooks!

Good video! You have a great teaching style.

I record my sax in my back-bedroom studio, and would like to get rid of irritating pad noise! When the pads make contact with the tone holes there is a slight sound, not noticeable when playing live or with drums, but in the clinical environment of a recording quite irritating. Could RX help with this, and would I need the full version or the elements? Excellent video by the way!

Why, thank you so much, Roger! Let's see...that's a very original question! It's hard to say for sure without hearing the recording, but what you could try is isolate (or purposely record) just the pad sound, and use the "Learn" feature on De-Noise, teaching RX to remove that "noise". It may work, but it may be too random and percussive too. De-Click in multiband mode would be worth a shot, perhaps in tandem with de-noise. And they're both available on the Elements version. If you want, send me a wave file of your sax recording to info@palebluedot.ca and I can do a quick test, see if anything works for the pad sound, including the full RX 9 suite. Could be a fun challenge! Apart from that, it could be a mic placement issue. But I don't have much sax experience, haha. Cheers!

Thank for your video. What about Voice Dereverb module?

Thanks but I was not clear. My question really was why didn’t u use the Dialog de-Reverb module in your tutorial? You only used the Reverb module. Just curious. Thanks for prompt reply.

@@ClassicCyclingCC Oh pardon me! I haven't seen this video for a long time, haha. Yes, that is a logical choice. Personally, I like using the plugins within my DAW (there is no Dialog De-Reverb plugin, as you probably know), and De-Reverb can be fine-tuned more across four bands. I'm actually surprised how simple Dialog De-Reverb is. But I guess that's the idea!

Why not dialogue reverb?
