Demo summary

The narrator demonstrates selecting an audio clip in Pro Tools, opening the RX Spectral Editor, and using the paintbrush and lasso tools to select a screeching noise. He then shows the 'attenuate' and 'replace' modes to remove the noise while comparing the results.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the audio clip in Pro Tools and right-click to open the drop-down menu.
  2. Select the RX spectral editor option to analyze and open the clip.
  3. Choose a selection tool such as the paintbrush, lasso, or magic wand from the top bar.
  4. Highlight the problem sound in the spectral display.
  5. Choose between 'attenuate' or 'replace' repair modes.
  6. Adjust the strength, region, and weighting sliders to fine-tune the processing.
  7. Right-click the clip and select bypass to compare the processed audio with the original.

Options

  • Click the detach icon to move the editor into a separate resizable window
  • Hold down shift to make multiple selections
  • Use the direction selection tools to limit analysis to horizontal, vertical, or all directions

Tips

  • Use attenuate to bring noises like door slams or chair squeaks down to an inaudible level where they blend into the background.
  • Move the weighting slider to the left to give more weight to the audio occurring before the selection for interpolation.
  • Try both attenuate and replace modes as one may perform better than the other depending on the specific audio content.
