iZotope RX 11 | What’s New in the Audio Repair Software?

iZotope, the industry-leading audio software company recently acquired by Native Instruments, has just released the latest version of its flagship RX audio repair suite – RX 11. This powerful software helps audio professionals, musicians, and content creators fix virtually any audio issue with specialized repair tools and intelligent new features.

RX 11 just like its previous versions combines visual editing capabilities with audio repair modules to tackle problems like noise, reverb, clicks, clipping, and more. Using the software’s spectrogram view, you can see your audio file represented as a visual map of all its frequencies over time. From here, you can precisely pinpoint and repair audio imperfections.

What’s New?

But the iZotope RX 11 doesn’t just rely on manual editing. It also leverages cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to automate much of the repair process. The Repair Assistant can now intelligently detect and address specific audio issues with the simple twist of a few knobs.

Another interesting new feature in RX 11 is the upgraded Dialogue Isolate module, now powered by neural networks. It can separate vocals from background sounds in real-time, while also reducing unwanted room reverb – perfect for audio post-production. The Advanced version offers multi-band processing for even cleaner results.

On the music side, RX 11 introduces some great tools for streaming platforms. The new Loudness Optimize feature uses intelligent audio analysis to maximize the perceived loudness of your music while conforming to streaming platform guidelines. There’s also a Streaming Preview module to audition how your songs will actually sound on services like Spotify.

Another innovative addition is to one of RX’s most popular features: Music Rebalance. Now it employs AI to create separate vocal and instrument stems from a full mixed track. This allows modifying levels, removing elements like vocals, or even remixing songs from the original multi-track source.

Other highlights include new side/mid editing capabilities, formant control for tweaking vocal characteristics, and optimized real-time editing performance across the board. There are even new enterprise licensing options for larger facilities.
