Izotope Rx: Using advanced selection and harmonic tools

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

Demo summary

A walkthrough of the Lasso, Paintbrush, and Magic Wand tools to select specific frequencies and their associated harmonics for processing.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the Time-Frequency tool to define both the X and Y axis simultaneously
  2. Use the Lasso tool to draw a freehand selection around a specific problem area
  3. Use the Paintbrush tool to pinpoint and paint over specific tones or pitches
  4. Click a tone with the Magic Wand tool to automatically trace its shape based on amplitude and contrast
  5. Open the Harmonic tools while a selection is active
  6. Choose to select all, odd, or even harmonics up to the 10th order to capture the fundamental's overtones

Options

  • Use the Time selection tool for broad issues like breaths or clicks across the full frequency range
  • Use the Frequency selection tool for consistent droning notes across the entire timeline
  • Select specific ordered harmonics up to the 10th order
  • Toggle between odd and even harmonic selections

Tips

  • The Magic Wand is best used for problems that are dense in terms of contrast, brightness, and amplitude
  • Use the Harmonic tools in conjunction with the Magic Wand to quickly isolate and remove all overtones associated with a fundamental frequency

Highlights

“it's a little bit more transparent in the fact that it will trace the exact shape that you're looking for”
