iZotope RX 12 Advanced

New Features and Interface Innovations

• Scene Rebalance: Intelligently separates complex film/TV scene audio into independent dialogue, music, and effects tracks, saving valuable mixing adjustment time when original stems are unavailable.
• Stems View: Utilizes Scene Rebalance, Music Rebalance, or Dialogue Isolate to break down mixed audio into a track-based Stem workflow, allowing any RX repair tool to be applied individually to each separated element (e.g., vocals, bass, drums).
• Trim Silence: Automatically detects and deletes silent regions in long audio files, eliminating time-consuming and tedious manual editing work.
• Real-time Plugin Expansion: De-bleed and Music Rebalance modules can now be used directly as real-time plugins in your DAW.
• Interface Optimization: A refreshed, clean layout, including a larger spectrogram, new module search function, and resizable history panel, enhances operational efficiency.

AI Machine Learning Core Modules

• De-bleed (Re-engineered): Utilizes cutting-edge machine learning technology to prevent signal crosstalk with higher precision, ideal for scenarios such as headphone bleed in vocal recordings or separating drum tracks.
• Breath Control (Re-engineered): More accurately reduces and removes unwanted breath sounds in dialogue or vocal recordings than ever before, with extremely natural results.
• Music Rebalance (Neural Network Upgrade): The neural network for offline processing has been fully upgraded to achieve more precise instrument stem separation, easily extracting or removing elements like vocals, drums, and bass.
• Dialogue Isolate (Neural Network Upgrade): Utilizes complex neural network models to provide ultra-high precision noise reduction and dereverberation in both real-time and offline modes, perfectly preserving vocal clarity.
• Repair Assistant: Intelligently analyzes your audio, automatically detects issues (such as noise, clipping, clicks), and offers three different intensity repair suggestions, making audio repair simpler than ever.

Advanced Version Exclusive Professional Tools

• Spectral Recovery: Restores lost high-frequency details in thin, compressed audio (such as online call recordings), bringing back clarity and presence.
• Multiple Speaker Detection: Automatically identifies and marks segments of different speakers in an audio file, saving you time navigating multi-speaker conversations.
• Wow & Flutter: Easily corrects pitch fluctuations and instabilities arising from vinyl records or cassette tape transfers.
• Dialogue Contour: Reshapes the expressiveness of dialogue performances by adjusting the contour of intonation, correcting or improving the tone of the original recording.
• De-rustle & De-wind: Specifically eliminates rustling sounds from lavalier microphones rubbing against clothing, as well as low-frequency wind noise during outdoor recordings.
• Ambience Match: Captures and generates realistic background ambience textures, easily matching the environmental atmosphere of different recording segments, such as rain, crowd noise, or ocean waves.
• EQ Match: Learns the EQ characteristics of one dialogue recording and applies them to another to create sonic consistency.
• Azimuth: Repairs phase issues and channel imbalances in stereo audio.
• Center Extract: Removes the center channel content from stereo audio, commonly used for creating karaoke backing tracks.
• Deconstruct & Leveler: The former independently adjusts the levels of tonal and noisy components in sound; the latter automatically adjusts dialogue volume to maintain consistency.

Q: Is iZotope RX 12 Advanced Audio Repair and Editing Software suitable for beginners?

A: Not entirely. RX 12 Advanced is designed for professional post-production engineers and has complex features. Beginners are advised to start with the more streamlined RX 12 Elements or Standard versions, or to first use the built-in Repair Assistant function.

Q: What are the main differences between RX 12 Advanced and RX 12 Standard?

A: The main difference is that the Advanced version includes several exclusive professional modules, such as Scene Rebalance, Ambience Match, and multichannel support (up to Atmos 7.1.2), which are not available in the Standard version.

Q: Can RX 12 Advanced be used as a real-time plugin in a DAW?

A: Yes. RX 12 includes multiple modules that can be used as real-time plugins and integrates deeply with DAWs via the ARA 2 protocol, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Q: How does RX 12 Advanced's Dialogue Isolate differ from other noise reduction tools?

A: Dialogue Isolate uses advanced neural networks specifically designed to separate human speech from noisy environments, providing more natural results with fewer artifacts than traditional noise reduction, especially suitable for complex background sounds.
