Restoration tools and machine learning features

RX 12 Standard centers on audio restoration. iZotope describes the suite as offering a broad set of tools for fixing flaws in recordings. Among the new features, Stems View splits audio into stems through Scene Rebalance, Music Rebalance and Dialogue Isolate, so individual elements can be processed separately before everything is combined again for export.

De-bleed uses machine learning to remove unwanted signal bleed between sources, including bleed from headphone playback. Breath Control detects, reduces and removes breaths in vocals and speech. Music Rebalance adjusts individual mix elements in real time and can separate vocals, bass, percussion and other instruments from a finished mix, in offline or real-time modes.

Workflow and interface

RX 12 is available as a standalone audio editing application and as plugins for digital audio workstations. The interface has been redesigned with a larger spectrogram for finer edits, a module search to reach tools faster, and a resizable History panel that tracks editing steps.

The plugin formats are VST3, AU and AAX, and the plugins are 64-bit only. Some modules are limited to specific formats: Ambience Match and De-rustle are available only in AAX Audiosuite, while Repair Assistant is available in AAX Audiosuite, AU and VST3.
