iZotope RX 3 SALE

[Mike Kujbida]

I wholeheartedly agree. It’s been my go to repair tool for a few years now. The word magic has been used to describe just how good this software is.

I only have the RX version so you need to decide if you want to spend the extra money on the advanced version. It does come with several more features but, as you say, the price is be a factor.

It’s a standalone product but you can set it as your default audio editor in Vegas so that all you do is select an audio event, right click and choose “open copy in iZotope”.

So then, the question Mike is: has the standard version adequately worked for you? Have you had one or more occasions where you wish that you had the Advanced version and absolutely needed the added features? This is a BIG decision with a potentially BIG price tag, so I want to be sure that I am not purchasing the whole farm when all I need is the barn (LOL)…and what about the sale prices–good deals, in your opinion?

Rich, the sales prices are definitely a great deal.
When RX3 came out, I took a long look at the differences between the two.
If you haven’t seen it, there’s a comparison chart at RX 3 comparison
The Deverb module really interested me but I decided that, given the limited number of times I might need it, it wasn’t worth the extra dollars.
I know a few other members on here have this software so I hope that they will jump in with their opinion.

AGREE!
But still a little steep.

Agree. It doesn’t get any better than iZotope RX. It can do things that we once thought were impossible. I highly recommend it.

No doubt that I now am sold on this product. The main question is which version I should purchase. Any suggestions on how to decide? Is the Advanced version so advanced that it really is made for Hollywood level audio correction? I am hoping that the basic version alone will do wonders, but…???

I upgraded from the basic version to the advanced version hoping that the advanced version would produce even better results for what I had found so useful in the basic version. I did not see any improvement in the basic functions, like denoising and spectral repair, that I had found so useful. They seemed to be identical to the basic version. The advanced version does include additional functions that may or may not be useful. That is what you have to figure out. I have not yet found a lot of uses for the additional functions, and I am a bit disappointed with the advanced version.

I really do not like one change that was made between version 2 and 3. Version 3 has dropped the scan button from the gain control. Thus, it has no ability to tell you how much the gain can be increased before clipping occurs. I now usually run version 2 to find this number, and may or may not do additional processing in version 3. I am very perplexed as to why they dumbed down the gain control.

There’s now a key combination Alt+d for scanning levels:

Bob, thanks for your candid appraisal. Your input is much appreciated. Your observations have helped me to determine that I will purchase the basic version, and if needs be, upgrade at a later time should my audio restoration needs require such. Also a big thanks to everyone else who has contributed to this thread!!
