17 February 2013

During the recent mixing session of Matshidiso Mohajane, there was a small noise that printed on the lead vocal track on one of the song.
I usually do either: cut the audio region, dip with the volume automation, use pencil tool in Pro Tools to smooth it up, or swap the audio from another bit of the song, but neither of them worked very well. Then I remembered reading about iZotope RX2 in a magazine recently, so I decided to have a go with the demo version. It said fully functioning for 10 days (apart from saving the project). Had a quick look at their website's tutorial video, and imported the problematic vocal track into RX2.

Please take a look at the screenshot, I probably didn't do very neat, nor artistic work but I did manage to eliminate the offending noise around 1.5kHz-3kHz without affecting her voice! (see the red circle)

It is an impressive piece of program, but the standard version £215.00, the advanced version £749.00, umm...very expensive.
