Is Adobe Audition's noise reduction process a basic version of Izotope RX? I have never seen or tested a 'live' Izotope RX (but might be persuaded to buy the basic version), but from what I see in the demo video's and screenshots there are quite a few similarities. Plus, Adobe Audition does contain some stuff licensed from Izotope. Just wondering.

Tutorial on Commonly Used Modules
This is our 3rd article on iZotope’s audio repair tool RX 7.
We will continue to look at editing using different modules. Though many modules are included, I have chosen a few which I find personally useful and common to take a look at. iZotope RX 7 Tutorial ③ – Video Access![]() ![]() Purchase hereDe-hum
First take a listen to this sample.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hum_Crackle_pre.mp3
We can hear a low humming noise as well as a constant crackling sound as well.
Lets try to get rid of these.
We will be using De-hum to remove the hum noise.
Garageband techno kit download. You can choose a custom AU synthesizer at the top of the stack, and there are hardwired slots for the Compressor and Visual EQ effects, plus four remaining slots for your installed Audio Units plugins.You can reorder them by clicking-dragging them up and down the stack, and the position will have a direct impact on your sound; sounds start at the top and work their way down. Power User note: The latest versions of OS X might try to stop you from installing these plugins (it's a long story), but you'll have success if you use this trick: hold down the Control key while clicking on the installer, and select the 'Open' command from the pop-up menu.Once in GarageBand, you can access your AU plugins by creating a software instrument track, then clicking on the 'Edit' tab in the right-hand Track Info column (see left image).
Hum noise is usually based around low frequencies in the 50-60Hz range, and is a noise that contains a number of harmonics.
We could select 50 or 60Hz from Base Frequency, but if you want AI to make the choice for you, click the Suggest button at the top.
This will analyse the sample and Free mode will allow it to set a more accurate frequency.
The hum noise can been reduced greatly but if the voice has been negatively effected as well, we can lower the number of harmonics down right on the brink of effecting the main sound. We can do this from the Number of harmonics fader.
Next lets adjust the amount of cut. You can make changes from the screen, but the frequency points can get shifted in free mode so we’ll enter numerical changes below.
Find a point where the noise isn’t noticeable yet the vocal remains clean.
For the low end, you can cut up until the point where it starts effecting the vocal. We will turn the High-Pass Filter on and cut under 100Hz.
Though you most likely won’t be using the Low-pass-filter, it may be necessary depending on the type of noise present.
If we want to make more detailed edits on the harmonics we can choose a different Linking Type.

For the default ALL setting, moving the slider here will have a slope effect on all frequencies.
By selecting Odd/even you can control the odd and even harmonics separately. The Slope slider will help lower the reduction effect on higher frequencies. When None is selected the link is removed, allowing you to control the Gain of individual harmonics. De-Crackle
Next lets look at getting rid of the crackling pop-like noises.
We will be using De-crackle.
For noise that couldn’t be completely removed, we can try using Spectral De-noise which we took a look at in our previous article.

As you can hear, we have been able to clean up the audio.
The mapping also makes use of the Smart Strips for parameter tweaks and scratching, with great use of the fader LEDs as Deck level meters. The only real caveat is that you need the track to be ‘clean’, i.e., only a single grid marker in the whole track.DJ TECHTOOLS Midi Fighter Twister sequencerTRAKTOR PRO 2’s Step Sequencer for Remix Decks can be fully MIDI mapped, and enterprising MIDI mappers have the functionality working on all sorts of controllers, including DJ TechTools’ powerful and compact. The hotkeys let you run through the sequence to place a load marker on the first beat, quickly scrub through the track, zoom in and out, move the beatgrid, change the BPM, lock the grid, and load the next track in the playlist.

De-reverb
Now lets change the sample audio and take a look at the unique De-reverb.
As the name implies, this helps remove reverb and room reflections in a recording. First lets hear the sample for this example. https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Reverb_pre.mp3 Rf Noise Filter
We can clearly hear the reverb in this sample.
We will be using De-reverb on this audio.
Though all of these parameters may seem confusing, we can utilise RX 7’s special feature here and get some automatic settings using the Learn button.
To dive a little deeper into the editing, we can leave the Reverb Profile frequency settings set by Learn as is, and adjust the Reduction and Tail length to yield big results.
The resulting audio after adjusting each parameter is as follows:

Though its not a completely dry signal, a considerable amount of reverb has been edited out.
De-clip
Next, if we happen to accidentally distort audio during recording we can use De-clip to remove clipping noise.
We have a sample prepared for this as well.
* Be aware that this sample is louder than the previous examples. https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Clip_pre.mp3 Izotope Rx Rf Noise Review
In de-clip we will first setup the threshold of clip sounds. We will use this histogram as a reference but it looks like nothing is displayed at the moment. The histogram will be updated depending on the selected area, so lets first select the portion with vocal audio contained.
If you still don’t see anything, zoom out in the Histogram. Because the majority of sound is clipping, we can see quite alot reflected in the higher volume areas.
By pressing the Suggest button, it will automatically set the Threshold to the suggested point.
Its clipping to the point that that nothing is visible in the center, so it’s set to 0dB. If the audio isn’t this distorted, we would set the threshold a little below the clip.
The remaining parameters work as follows:
Lets hear how the sample sounds after making adjustments.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Clip_processed.mp3
The sound is much cleaner and its hard to believe it was distorted.
This completes our look at some commonly used modules in RX 7.
