Overview

Enable Music Rebalance In Izotope Rx 7 De Noise

On Mac, the RX Audio Editor supports the use of VST2 and AudioUnit (AU) plug-ins. On Windows, the RX Audio Editor supports the use of VST2 and DirectX plug-ins. To enable the use of plug-in hosting, choose the Plug-in module from the Module List.

Not only can Music Rebalance be used to adjust the levels of musical elements in a mix, but it can also make once-impossible workflows like vocal isolation and vocal removal a reality. In RX 7 Standard, you can easily extract an entire vocal performance from other musical elements or even remove the vocals, leaving only the instrumental elements. The advanced edition of RX 7 takes nearly all of the modules provided in RX 6 Advanced and implements a graphic overhaul more in line with iZotope's current aesthetic. You'll also find many new and powerful modules, including Dialogue Contour, Dialogue De-reverb, Variable Time, Variable Pitch, Music Rebalance, and the Repair Assistant. RX 7 is used in countless albums, movies and TV shows to restore damaged, noisy audio to flawless condition and is a complete toolkit for cleaning and restoring audio. With the Repair Wizard, you can rebalance clicks, pops, hum, noise, music, or isolate vocals with Music Rebalance, and operatively correct dialog and music appearances with the Editor or plug-ins that can be used in your. Music Rebalance is the sort of feature you would normally expect to be an RX 7 Advanced only feature so hats off to iZotope for including this new feature in RX 7 Standard as well as RX 7 Advanced from the get-go.

Using 32-bit plug-ins in the RX Audio Editor

To use 32-bit AU, VST2 or DirectX plug-ins in the RX Audio Editor, you must run the 32-bit application.

On Windows, open the “RX 7 Audio Editor” application from the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Desktop shortcut. Not the “RX 7 Audio Editor (64-bit)” application.
On Mac, navigate to your Applications folder and find iZotope RX 7 Audio Editor. Right-click on the the application and select “Get Info” and check the “Open in 32-bit mode” option.
Note: When used as a VST in RX, iZotope Insight’s loudness history does not run during offline processing. You will not see metering details, unless you are using Preview.

Selection Based Processing

With a plug-in loaded in the Plug-in module, you can make use of the same audio selection tools and Preview and Compare options that are available for other RX modules.

This can allow for very detailed processing and greater accuracy when working with your existing plug-ins, giving you audio selection options unavailable in a traditional DAW setup.

Plug-in Presets

Only one plug-in may be loaded at a time. However, with the use of presets, multiple settings and presets may be recalled quickly in order to move between plug-in instances.

When your plug-in is configured the way you would like it, select Add Preset from the small Preset drop down arrow.

Assign Presets to Keyboard Shortcuts

Once your preset is named and saved, you can then assign that plug-in and preset to a keyboard shortcut with the Set Preset Shortcut feature.

This keyboard shortcut will recall not only the plug-in settings, but the plug-in instance itself. As such, if a preset is saved with Plug-in 1, and Plug-in 2 is currently loaded into RX’s plug-in window, pressing the preset keyboard shortcut will re-instantiate Plug-in 1 and recall the exact settings when the preset was made.

This can allow for very quick editing, processing, and recall of plug-in instances and settings, providing a quicker workflow than traditional DAW track/mixer environments.

Presets

From the Preset Manager, you can select from default presets and presets you have saved.

To browse presets, press the Presets button and click the name of any preset. If you like what you hear, press the Presets button again to hide the window.

ADD: Clicking this button adds the current settings as a new preset. You can type a name and optionally add comments for the preset.
Note
- Note that a few keys such as * or / cannot be used as preset names. If you try to type these characters in the name they will be ignored.
- This is because presets are stored as .XML files for easy backup and transferring. Their filenames are the same as the names you give the presets (for easy reference) and therefore characters that are not allowed in Windows file names are not allowed in preset names.
REMOVE: To permanently delete a preset, select the preset from the list and click the Remove button.
UPDATE: When you click the Update button, your current settings before you opened the preset window are assigned to the selected preset (highlighted). This is useful for selecting a preset, tweaking it, and saving your changes to the existing preset.
IMPORT: Imports a preset into the preset folder.
FOLDER: Opens a dialog that shows your current preset folder. You can also select a new preset folder from this dialog.
RENAMING PRESETS: You can double click on the name of a preset to enter the edit mode and then type a new name for that preset.
CANCEL: Press Escape to close the preset system dialog and revert to the settings when you opened the preset manager.

History

Pressing the History button opens the History window. This view gives you a list of all of the actions you’ve performed inside the plug-in, allowing you to step back to previous settings and undo changes.

CLEAR: Resets the History list.

I/O Meters

Select plug-ins feature an input and output gain control and input and output metering.
In stereo instances of the plug-ins, the gain controls are linked stereo gains.

Host Performance

View Buffers: Shows buffer information from the host’s track. This is useful for diagnosing problems like audio dropouts or rare problems caused by inconsistent buffer sizes.
Host Sync: Shows information reported from the host program about playback location, loop and transport state, tempo, etc. (when applicable). This is useful for diagnosing some rare timeline-related problems in specific DAWs.
Enable Multicore (Spectral De-noise only) This option is available in the Spectral De-noise plug-in. Enabling this option lets RX process Spectral De-noise Quality Modes C and D more efficiently by spreading its processing across multiple computer cores.

I/O Options

The RX I/O meter displays a lower bar representing the average level (RMS) and a higher bar representing peak level. There is also a moving line above the bar representing the most recent peak level or peak hold.

PEAK HOLD TIME: If peak hold is on, you can choose different peak hold times. The choices are 250 ms, 500 ms, 1000 ms, 5000 ms and Infinite. If set to infinite, the peak value will be held until you click on the current peak display.
INTEGRATION TIME: Specifies the integration time for RMS calculation. In most RMS meters, the integration time is set to around 300 ms, which makes the RMS meter similar in ballistics to VU meters.
READOUT: Allows you to control what level value is displayed on top of the meters: peak or actual (real time). If set to Max Peak, the display will show the highest peak level. If set to Current, the display will reflect the meter’s current value.
ENABLE I/O METERS: Turns the level meters on or off.
SHOW PEAK HOLD: Turns the peak hold display for the lev
