Izotope rx 6

I have 5, it can be a life saver. I don't find anything about the interface intuitive, that's the downside to me. If you were a forensics guy and lived in it all the time it'd star to make sense, but when I only visit it every now and then, it's hard to navigate.

I have been using the Eosis one, in the slate bundle.. but dialing it back to about 10-12% and it seems to be doing the job well.

I have RX 3. I use it mainly for the same reasons - on distortion or random noises. Also for its resampling (downsampling in my case).

Preferred it to all others I tried at the time which was maybe 3 years ago.

Yes you can do a whole lot more with RX, no I haven't spent the time learning it (and probably haven't the need either).

I have RX6 now (I started out with RX3). It's such a flexible tool that each of us could rely on completely different parts of it. Because I do location work, there are always environmental noises: air-conditioning, outside traffic, too-loud footsteps, coughs and so on. The steady-state stuff (like HVAC) is pretty easy to eliminate. The rest of it takes more time--sometimes a lot of it--but you can work wonders with it. It does chew up a lot of CPU time, but it's worth waiting for.

A interesting, semi-related note. I recorded a string quartet a couple of months ago. It was in a gallery in downtown Salt Lake. I recorded at 192K. It went to RX6 for cleanup. For a large part of the recording, I could see a fairly strong signal at 60 KHz (the RX display is really cool). It was an obvious control signal of some sort--looked almost like slow Morse code. I suppose I could have spent some time with it and extracted a binary pattern. Such a high-frequency signal was way out of any human's hearing range, so it could have been alien bats or something ;-) . Still, I wonder what it was. I have seen cases in which a badly-controlled clock (computer, interface, etc) can generate a signal. But those signals look a lot different (I brought up a lot of hardware in my Lexicon days, so I've seen most of the bad stuff that can happen). Also this was in a setup I use a lot and it's never shown up in any other recording.

The one thing I can't figure out is how to de bleed from multiple mics. If I have theb3 mics with bleed in the and the bleed source track open in rx6 I need to do a composite view of the microphone tracks. Well when I do that it adds the source track to the composite. Does anyone know how to select just the pertinent files in composite and leave extraneous files out?

I see you are using logic. Read up on using rx6 as an external file editor. That is required. you are only seeing the plugins currently in logic. That is only part of the software.

Also, as far as the denoise algorithm goes I find that waves usually does what I want better than rx6. However, some of the algorithms in rx6 do things that I don't have another solution for, and they do it very well. For me it hasn't been the silver bullet for every issue it addresses. Sometimes it's great, othertimes it just doesn't cut it. That being said I have not mastered the software by any means yet so some of my issues are probably user related.
