Izotope Rx: Batch breath removal with Breath Control

Demo summary

The narrator applies the Breath Control module to an entire vocal track, adjusting sensitivity to reduce breaths while maintaining a natural sound.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the entire vocal track using Command+A
  2. Open the Breath Control module
  3. Set the Sensitivity to approximately 6
  4. Adjust the Gain slider to determine the level of attenuation
  5. Click Compare to preview the processed audio against the original
  6. Click Render to apply the changes to the file

Options

  • Process individual breaths manually by highlighting specific selections
  • Toggle between 'Real Time' and rendered processing
  • Adjust Gain to -50 dB for a more natural reduction rather than total removal

Tips

  • Back off the settings slightly to keep some breath for a more natural sound
  • Use the 'ghost' view in the compare window to see exactly which breaths are being removed
  • Avoid aggressive settings that completely erase breaths, as it can sound unnatural

Highlights

it's really good at removing the breaths
