I find that this area is lacking in RX8 video examples. I always see examples that are more of a simple fix. The best video is an outdated RX3 tutorial, sadly. I usually find speech videos on youtube, or normal 4 piece band recordings (I guess because it’s more common). What about restoring old LP’s with a wide range of dynamics and quiet passages, such as classical type music, or Big Band? To me, this is a challenge and not a simple task at all. You practically have to go through the entire recording and fix noise manually. What if parts of a live recording are way louder than others? I also want to learn pitch adjustment when an instrument goes slightly out of tune briefly. When using some of the de-noise tools, I end up creating artifacts trying to perfect the background (the classic water noise), regardless of how gentle or harsh I get.
@@josephevans5785 Yes. I notice that most of the recording or record industry treats audio restoration as a bit of an anomaly, or such a joke that it's not worth the trouble. The truth is that restoration of vinyl records has become even more important in light of the relatively recent Universal lot fire. All we have are rare pressed copies to archive. It's a fine art that many take very seriously. I don't know what their feedback is telling Izotope, but, the RX and Ozone user base is far more than just project recording and mastering. The feedback only comes from those who opt-in.
@@platterjockey Do you know if there’s a way to fix a slight wave sound from a cassette tape in RX8 izotope? It was a tape that was damaged and turned slowly, so I had to speed it up digitally to the original speed. Before I upped the speed it was garbled.
thanks for the video, RX is excellent, and so revolutionary, especially the 'music rebalance' tool. i trained myself to surgicaly remove these noises way back in 'audacity'. @10.10 you are explaining the guitar squeek, but not playing the affecetd musical phrase, only afterwards. i'm not sure what to listen out for, when editing similar material.
As a mastering guy, that's my #1 peeve: people cutting a file right up to the first sound or at the very end of the last sound. Restoration people need that space not only for samples, but to create natural intros and fadeouts. It ticks me off when the music starts right wen I hit the spacebar.
@@atta1798 It may be a matter of taste, but it ill-advised for a few reasons. Some players and fade-in, which can cut out the absolute start of the music. Also, if one has the music on a CD or CD-R, some players will also slightly mute the intro, or there may be issues with the offest, especially with older players. It also doesn't give that natural space. Just because a few pros do it does not mean I have to do it. 40-year-old means to me that they were brought up with a certain impatience. LOL. Yes, I am older, so I like to have at least .5 seconds before the music starts. It's about feel, something I think gets lost on many younger people out there. On the other hand, a lot of the older guys are still using the 2-second rule. That's equally annoying. leaving a bit of space also guards against any data corruption which can happen. I set my track starts arbitrarily, by feel. a half a second won't matter if one is trying to time the file.
I would like to see one of these videos explaining how to master a full album that has many different genres inside it or different dynamics between tracks, in the last video you mentioned billie eilish I can add twenty one pilots or doja cat, these artists make albums with more than 10 songs and one track is an EDM, the other Rock, a Reggae and then Hip hop or Pop. Do you equalize and compress all these different tracks equally to fit the album or treat them individually, export and then bring them back all together to Ozone just to add the maximizer?
that is a tough one may be doable depending on the so ng and it will take all your skill and tools you have....the only way to find out is you have to go through the ropes....until you realize it is, it not possible of for this song this is it he bes it can be done ....you should try
If it was a two tracks recording or a mono recording, you must use a high speed tape, usually 30ips and mark with the white pen the beginning and the end of the offensive noise and with a razor blade, cut the tape in the area with the noise and then put together the tape using splacing tape glued in the reverse side of the recorded tape. Of course they do that only on very offensive issues, most of the time the solution was make again a clean take on another channel until thing work good. That's why session musicians where so important, they do not only how to play the instrument very well but also how to avoid mic distortions, accidents with pedals, people that play keyboard automatically set the gain to zero for not send his to the channel and when they have to play they open the instrument again.
Great video as always. QUESTION: What’s the difference between Elements, Standard, Advanced and Pro? I can’t seem to find any specifics on what’s included in which. Can you direct me to an information page or something of that nature listing what is included in each?
