Izotope Rx Try it →Watch full video →Sam Loose Audio Engineer · Jan 2025

Demo summary

The instructor demonstrates using Composite View in RX 11 to perform synchronized edits across both mono and stereo guitar tracks while maintaining independent undo histories.

Step-by-step

Import multiple tracks into RX using the Shift+W command
Click the Composite View button at the top of the interface to merge tracks into a single view
Perform the desired edit or apply a module, such as Gain or Guitar De-noise, to the composite track
Click Render to apply the changes across all tracks simultaneously
Exit Composite View to return to individual track tabs
Manage specific track changes using the independent Undo History panel at the bottom of the screen

Options

Use the Guitar De-noise module to remove amp noise across multiple mic sources
Adjust Gain on specific notes across all tracks at once

Watch out for

Tracks must be recorded at the same time (synchronized) for composite editing to be effective for multi-mic setups

Tips

Use Composite View for multi-mic drum kits or guitar amps with multiple microphones to ensure phase-locked editing
Take advantage of the separate undo histories for each track after exiting Composite View to fine-tune individual files

Highlights

“this is really really handy if you want to edit a load of multi mic stuff... it's super easy”
