IzoRx + Vegas . . and the Beeps!

Grazie wrote on 6/23/2008, 2:40 AM
Well, this product and its value within Vegas, just keeps on astounding me time and time again. Not only with its results but its EASE of use . .

OK, I had a great inside office sequence, only spoilt by the sound of a lorry/truck reversing with its warning beeping - beep beep beep . . . - over the piece to camera from my presenter!!!

So......

1] Right Click

2] Fav Audio editor

3] Opens Rx

4] SEE the beeps!!

5] Scrub area over the BEEPS . . . and. . ZAP! Gone and Done ( play to check result - gorgeous!)

6] Exit Rx and save . . .

New take appears back in Vegas - totally "Beep-Free"!

Grazie

I'll say it again; IzotopeRX is the most amazing audio restoration software EVER.

I've done some of this a while back using SF's Noise Reduction plug. Tedious work but I could remove unwanted beeps and notes. SF has all the bits in place to do it, I don't understand why the work wasn't done to glue the bits together e.g. Sonogram >Select Sound > NR's filter. Maybe in SF10.

"Tedious work but I could remove unwanted beeps and notes"

In IzoRx it ain't! And . .and . .and . .it's a lotta fun too!!!

Gluing bits together? I'll leave to the professional programmers. Maybe them upstairs of the same mind too? After all SOMEBODY must have assisted with IzoRx plugs? Waddyah fink, Bob? And PUT that glue pot down!!

As I said: One click ion-to IzoRx - Spot the Beep - Zap -Exit and save back into Vegas as a NEW take!

I suppose I could always sniff the . .er . . never mind . .

Grazie

. .ps, and yes I've done it too in SF and NR redux and so on . ..

I haven't a clue who if anyone assisted with Rx. But as soon as I saw it I though 'what the heck, 90% of this is already in SF!' and it's so dang intuitive that Grazie is going to love it for sure.

I'd love to see it work as a plugin for SF, SFs probably a better platform for it than Vegas and then we'd be able to keep SF as our 1 click audio editor.

I'm glad that they put out the recent user guide. It really helps to get better results.

It would have been very helpful to have had that quality documentation in pdf format from the beginning.

Bob,
Maybe I'm missing your point, but RX does work in my SF9.

As I don't yet have RX , thank you. From comments from others here I was under the impression that it didn't

RX works in SF. Also, the NR stuff you've done with SF is very crude compared to what RX does. Not even close to the RX capability. While it took some work, I was able to remove a baby crying from wedding vows, while leaving the vows intact. Unbelievable stuff.

"Unbelievable stuff."

Now THAT, coming from MrJM is high praise indeed!!! - Yes it is. And EASY too.

Actually "seeing" the audio issue is remarkable in itself, but having a group of programmers at iZotope, who realise that that is the USP for customers like us, is truly displaying an understanding about what the business required, beyond just straight "engineering". And THAT is unique, and for my money, they should get as much support as we can give. IMO what they HAVE to do is get their transport/shuttle processing running as an NLE video editor would like, at the moment it is very frustrating. They need some more command keystrokes and some Contour Shuttle Pro profiles - I'd make up my own, but alas, there aren't any keystrokes I can mirror FROM the iZoRx keystroke subset. Hopefully it will come.

All-in-all, and if we record correctly enough, the wailing baby and the reversing lorry/truck noise will not be a hazard that will make us ditch or worry about footage ever again.

Grazie

Does anyone use "iZotope RX Advanced" or is everyone here refering only to "iZotope RX"?

I see that RX works in Sound Forge 9 (Reply by: johnmeyer
Date: 6/23/2008 10:22:13 PM). I assume that is the basic version of RX.

What about the Advanced version?
Is it worth it to anyone except the most advanced professional considering the difference in price?

Just a relative beginner asking some questions.

Hmmm. I might take a look at this.

I've gotten pretty use to Sound Forge and NR, but if IzoRx gives better results I may take a look.

I did hear their demo on the Rx web site showing how they keys-in-the-ignition beeper sound was removed, but I figured that it probably took quite awhile. With the comment regarding removing the baby cry while preserving all else, I will check this out. Did someone say they have a user guide? I am pretty sure when I tried this before, I saw no user guide and was quite honestly pretty lost.

Hey, Grazie:

Is not iZotope RX a downloadable product?

I haven't looked at this for a bit and all I can find is the "Locate a dealer near you" info.

Thanks.

Update: Never mind. Found it.

I've always had the full version... It works within all my Sony stuff, as well as my other DAW's. Didn't anyone notice that SF was the first host mentioned in the guide...*sigh*
Only you could say if the extra features are worth the difference to you. To me it's been invaluable and saved many recordings already. I've been a big fan of iZotope for a long time - their stuff is always seriously good.

>>...IzotopeRX is the most amazing audio restoration software EVER...

You guys weren't kidding. Holy cow!

I decided to play around with this a little more seriously. After about 10 minutes and minimal fooling with the "train" feature, I was able to get really excellent results than after a LOT of time with SF Noise Reduction. It is amazing.

I am in the middle of putting out some interview footage for a national conference. We thought of re-shooting due to seriously excessive background noise. We dead sure don't need to reshoot now.

I am afraid if I let it be known how seriously effective Izotope Rx is, the shooters may not evern care about background noise...which I don't want.

I definitely like working with in in Sound Forge 9...but I would be glad to do stand-alone app for these kinds of results.

Amazing. Already bought it.

I also have that fear, and it's not unfounded.
