Warren...gee thanks! I just spent ANOTHER $30 on a plug-in! However, this one really makes my life a lot easier mixing Voice Over tracks from amateur submitters. Thank you sincerely! Love your channel, I've learned tons!

This is astonishing. I just got it and haven't had a chance to use it yet, but hoping to pick up some knowledge on how to use it, I clicked on your vid. I simply can't believe this. I've used EQ tricks, noise gate tricks, smart noise gates all sorts of things to diminish back ground noise, some more successful than others. But all of them relied on the masking phenomena. However, most always there was some trade off with the vocal sound the more you tried to get rid of the back ground. But this plug is ridiculous. Seems to have very little effect on the vocal while greatly diminishing the background. And the simplicity makes it even more amazing. I can't wait to use this!! Kudos for a well done video! Glad I clicked on it first. What a world we live in, especially for those of us that go back to when we spliced several versions of two track tape with a razor blade to assemble the final master lol! What we have sitting in front of us on a laptop these days is Disney World. Glad I lived long enough to see it and use it!

Wow, such a remarkable tool! So much simpler than other products I use. Thanks Warren.

That's ridiculously good. Not only better than other plugins in results, but gets there so much faster, without twiddling multiple controls. Game changer for spoken word with a lot of ambient noise, like a street interview. Throw on a deverb afterwards to clean up room reflections and you're going to have a damn decent voice track. Imagine this cleaning up old archival audio like radio shows, early field recordings, telephone calls, etc. And if Waves can harness this same "neural" technology to deverb at this quality and price- wow.

This reminds me of when I first saw Melodyne's video of correcting an individual note in a recorded guitar chord. The first comment on the video was: "Where is your god now?" And I totally understand what they were trying to say. SOOTHE2 is a really good problem-solver. A one-dial solution kind of like VX, but for different problems. Really excellent de-esser and fixer if your eq is out of whack. Makes an hour long problem into a 10 second problem. THANK YOU for testing VX with singing. Tons of videos out there demonstrating the VX product with rap and dialogue, but yours is the only one I could find that really tests it well with singing. I live close to the flight paths for both the big city airport and the lower-flying planes landing at the municipal airport. This is going to seriously change my life. Obviously iZotope RX is going to be the main alternative to this.

Wow I got to check this out!!!! Example to get rid of noise like the wind I play with psychoacoustics and the relation of the frequencies to each other - sounds weird and it is - I cut the low end, let's say on a singer songwriter performance with guitar outside - so when the low end is missing it sounds too bright, so I adjust the top frequencies, so the Bass "Seems to sound balanced" compared to the top end, though the is no Bass

I doubt that a professional engineer would try to record a vocal track with a guitarist 'noddling' in the background... ..and there were artefacts (comb filtering) in that section, BUT, this PI is remarkable. Cheers, and keep up that great noodling, mate.

@@Producelikeapro Funny enough, I think Peter Jackson re: GET BACK, let slip they had developed a very sophisticated audio separation tool they used in the Beatles project, that sounded pretty advanced of what is available right now. I may be em getting my hopes up, but given what they have developed, I’m hoping it’s far ahead of what’s available right now for it to be used to create multitracks for the early Beatles albums to see the remix treatment Giles Martin has been doing lately.

For static noise I prefer Klevgrand Brusfri. But this one is adaptive over time. Impressive! Unfortunately the processing still causes artifacts. Will keep an eye on future updates.

I need one of these that removes hiss from fx pedals on a digital piano that doesn't sound like a piano. It's great that this exists for vocals. Not sure how it could work for music that isn't an obviously recognizable instrument timbre, but the hope remains that someday... maybe a visual representation of the sound in which I could highlight and listen to different spectra, and "train" the software to recognize the "instrument" sounds. Anyway, wow, this makes a big difference on vocals. There ARE some artifacts, but an advantage of weird instrument sounds is that there aren't preconceptions about what they sound like. With vocals, everyone recognizes the artifacts pretty easily. Still really a big difference!

It works decently well, but messes with phase far too much.

I actually think the best example of this is you just speaking normally in the vlog review setup. For a lot of people, including me, we have a fine, makeshift vocal booth, but being in a flat, it's not perfect and perhaps a little bit of ambience or room tone can bleed through. It appears this eliminates that, without affecting the quality of the vocal track. Going to come in amazing for voiceover and audiobooks

WOOOW!

This looks like the same processing that AI vocal extraction software like Deep Remix uses. Deep Remix has the best and cleanest vocal extraction from a mix that I have ever heard.

Warren, if you use the plugin right now on the podcast, I hear aggressive gating, which it makes it choppy, I must say this plugin is amazingly good. I know my next buy, hehe, thanks for the review. Now in radio studio's we use pre amps, these are tweaked as a whole, compressor, gate, etc. A little different from studio setups. Tweaking that way is a little more time consuming, but that's is what I like. My studio is not fully treated with stuff. Makes a small reverb in the speaks. But I hide it with compressor/gating as long it sounds natural. But this plugin makes it a lot easier. Thanks again, daaaag = bye :)

My cassettes of my Rumblebugs Band could use some way to clean up the cassettes' background noise. Recording the tapes onto protools at a 32 bit setting, might help. Not sure about that. A lot to consider and weigh in the world of cassette to digital.

Hi and thanx for your video! Can I use Clarity x as a stand alone in real time ? That would be too great...Thanx again

How does this compare to their NS1 noise suppressor? Ns1 is already great. Also does this repair noise within the voice, like nose sounds mouth noise, that maybe rx can't get out?. Or is it just for background noise?

I used it tracking in with the live mix playing but it still had bleed. Maybe it works better as post effect than realtime. Ill have to try it.

One VERY important thing is - This is a VOICE noise reduction plugin, so trying to reduce the voice from the acoustic is not going to work, it makes the plugin look bad for no reason… The Vx stands for voice :) Additionally, the neural networks do not consider instruments to be ambience, and so reducing instruments from voice is also not what this plugin is designed to do, though it will do it to some extent, and as Warren said Broad2 is better for that, but instruments are not “officially” supported, as they are not considered “ambience”.
