03In depth

Restoration tools for common recording problems

RX 12 Elements focuses on the faults that show up most often in home and project recordings. De-click addresses clicks and pops, De-clip works on clipped peaks, and De-hum removes electrical hum. De-reverb reduces unwanted room reflections, and Voice De-noise targets background noise in vocal recordings.

The suite is organized as separate plugins, so you can apply only the module that fits the problem in front of you. That makes it practical for quick fixes on a single track rather than a full restoration pass.

Repair Assistant and workflow

Repair Assistant is the included plugin that the developer highlights as the core of the bundle. It is meant to give producers an accessible starting point for cleaning up audio without needing to adjust every control manually.

RX 12 Elements runs as a plugin inside supported digital audio workstations and editors. Plugin formats differ by module: Repair Assistant is available as AAX Audiosuite, AU and VST3, while Ambience Match and De-rustle are offered as AAX Audiosuite only.
