iZotope has released RX 12, the latest iteration of the audio repair and restoration suite. This version introduces new machine learning-driven modules and workflow enhancements designed for post-production, music production, and content creation. Key additions include Scene Rebalance for independent level control of elements within a stereo mix and Stems View for surgical editing of isolated components.
The software continues to function as both a standalone audio editor and a collection of plugins for major digital audio workstations. Version 12 features rebuilt neural networks for its core processing modules, aiming for higher transparency and faster processing speeds, particularly for dialogue isolation and breath control.
Key Features:
- Scene Rebalance (Advanced Only): Allows for the independent adjustment of dialogue, music, and effects levels within a single stereo render.
- Stems View: Provides a track-based workflow within the RX editor to apply processing to individual isolated stems before re-summing.
- Trim Silence (Advanced Only): Automatically detects and standardizes regions of silence in long-form audio files.
- Rebuilt De-bleed: Redesigned algorithm to remove headphone or instrument leakage without the requirement of a reference track; includes a real-time plugin.
- Rebuilt Breath Control: Updated ML technology for increased accuracy in detecting and attenuating breaths in vocal and speech recordings.
- Improved Dialogue Isolate & Music Rebalance: Upgraded neural networks for cleaner stem separation and more transparent voice processing, now featuring real-time plugin versions.
- Interface Updates: Includes a larger spectrogram display, a new module search function, and a resizable history panel.
