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.
