Izotope Rx: Locating plosives in vocal recordings

Izotope RxTry it →Watch full video →Mastering․comMastering․com·

Demo summary

The demonstrator identifies low-frequency 'hot spots' in the spectrogram to pinpoint and play back distracting 'P' and 'B' plosive sounds.

Step-by-step

  1. Scan the bottom half of the frequency space in the spectrogram
  2. Identify vertical lines that appear as dense, orange-red hot spots
  3. Set the cursor at the location of the hot spot
  4. Play back the selection to confirm the presence of the plosive

Tips

  • Look for energy attached to consonants like P and B
  • Focus on the lower end of the frequency space where air hitting the microphone typically registers

Highlights

“a good way to really just hone in and see if there's any problems with the possives”
