Demo summary

Dialogue editor Evan Benjamin demonstrates how to identify and remove mechanical dolly creaks from a recording by copying neutral room tone and pasting it over the noise anomalies in the RX spectral editor while maintaining sync.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the audio in the RX spectral editor
  2. Identify visual anomalies that do not look like organic speech
  3. Turn off Instant Process
  4. Go to Preferences > Miscellaneous and set 'Default full bandwidth paste mode' and 'Default limited bandwidth paste mode' to 'To selection'
  5. Select a relatively neutral area of room tone and copy it
  6. Highlight the dolly creak anomaly and paste the neutral tone over it

Options

  • Use Instant Process to immediately replace unwanted sounds
  • Use Keyboard Maestro macros to import audio into RX

Watch out for

  • Ensure paste mode is set to 'To selection' to prevent the inserted audio from shifting the timeline and breaking sync

Tips

  • Look for visual patterns that look 'ugly' or mechanical compared to the organic look of speech
  • Copy a large chunk of neutral tone to ensure a natural replacement
  • Use this manual copy-paste method to remove up to 100% of mechanical creak sounds

Highlights

“if you work on this software for any length of time, it's pretty easy to spot the kind of anomalies”
