Izotope Rx How Long Must The Noise Be Sampled

Module & Plug-in

Overview

De-hum is designed to remove persistent tonal noise, like the AC hum that can be caused by poor electrical grounding. De-hum includes a series of notch filters that can be set to remove both the base frequency of the hum, usually 50 Hz (Europe) or 60 Hz (USA) as well as any harmonics. The De-hum module is effective for removing hum that has up to seven harmonics above its primary frequency.

Oct 15, 2015  CONTENT. IZotope RX5 Audio Editor comes in two versions (RX5 and RX5 Advanced) and the difference between these versions is noticeable. The RX5 has all the basic repair functions and even some audio enhancement features in it that will definitely help the.

  • BASE FREQUENCY: Sets the fundamental frequency of the hum to be removed. The Free option unlocks the Notch Frequency control and allows you to manually identify the fundamental. With Preview engaged, adjust the slider until you find the point where the hum is appropriately reduced.

    Tip

    You can also use the Spectrum Analyzer to help identify the base frequency of the hum.


  • SUGGEST: De-hum can intelligently identify the noise profile of the hum in your audio. Make a selection containing the hum in isolation, and click the Suggest button. This will automatically set the Base Frequency based on the learned profile. If you cannot find a selection of hum in isolation, RX can analyze any audio with prominent hum, but the results may not be as useful.
  • ADAPTIVE MODE: Allows De-hum to adjust the notch filters based on changes in the audio over time. In this mode, RX will analyze incoming audio to determine what is hum and what is desired audio material. Adaptive mode will work better with hum that changes in pitch throughout the file.
  • FILTER Q: Controls the bandwidth of the notch filters for the base frequency and all of the harmonics.

  • LINEAR-PHASE FILTERS: Linear-phase enables FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters with a high FFT size. These filters provide very accurate frequency response with no change in phase at the expense of latency and filter pre-ringing.

    Disabling Linear Phase (FIR) filters

    • When Linear Phase is disabled, De-hum will use minimum-phase IIR filters. These are also very accurate, and are only susceptible to post-ringing, which is usually less noticeable than the pre-ringing introduced by FIR filters.
    • Latency Consideration: Disabling Linear Phase Filters will reduce the latency used by De-hum when it is being used as a real-time plug-in.

  • HIGH/LOW-PASS FILTERS: These traditional filters come ahead of the De-hum notch filters, and allow for frequencies to pass above or below a certain cutoff point. These can be useful for tackling extreme hum or buzz.

    • FREQUENCY [Hz]: sets the cutoff frequency for the filter
    • Q: Sets the bandwidth of the filter (or dB/octave cut). In the default IIR filter mode with a high Q setting, you may notice a resonance at the cutoff frequency characteristic of traditional analog filters. That resonance can be mitigated by engaging the Linear-phase filters.

  • NUMBER OF HARMONICS: Because harmonics often accompany the fundamental frequency of a hum, De-hum can also attenuate these overtones with notch filters. Using the Number of Harmonics control, you can select up to 7 harmonics above the fundamental. The spectrogram display can make it easy to identify the harmonics. After selecting the number of harmonics, use the Slope control to set how aggressively the higher harmonics are attenuated.

  • LINK HARMONICS: Connects the gain controls of the notch filters.

    • ALL: presents a single node on the display for controlling the gain of all the notch filters. This is the default setting.
    • ODD/EVEN: presents two nodes on the display, one for controlling the gain of the fundamental frequency and even harmonics, and another for controlling the 1st harmonic and any following odd harmonics.
    • NONE: presents individual gain nodes for the fundamental and each harmonic.

  • SLOPE: When harmonics are linked, this controls the harmonic slope of the gain nodes for each overtone. As the harmonic order increases, the gain level resolves closer to 0 dB. When the Link Harmonics control is set to Odd/Even, a separate control appears that affords independent control over the slope for both odd and even harmonics.

  • HARMONIC GAINS [dB]: This section provides a numerical readout of the notch filter gain settings in decibels. You can also manually enter gain settings for the fundamental, or any of the harmonics if Link Harmonics is set to None.

  • FILTER DC OFFSET: This checkbox will engage a filter to remove any DC (direct current) offset that sometimes occurs in A/D converters or analog circuits used in the recording process.

  • OUTPUT HUM ONLY: Selecting this check box will isolate the hum that is being removed. This is useful for fine-tuning your settings. Identify a section of your file where the hum is mixed with other material, select this mode, and click Preview. Now adjust parameters like Filter Q and Slope control to maximize hum removal, thus minimizing the effect on the program material.

Alternative Modules to use for Complex Hum Issues

  • Spectral De-noise For hum that has many harmonics that extend into higher frequencies (often described as “buzz”), try using Spectral De-noise. Spectral De-noise features tonal noise reduction controls that can make short work of harmonic hum and buzz across the entire spectrum.
  • De-click Some very high frequency buzz can also be removed with the De-click module.

Learn how to quickly fix common voiceover audio issues including background noise, mouth sounds, and plosives.

Your clients expect high quality dialogue, and sometimes this can be a challenge. iZotope’s RX Audio Editor has become a go-to for sound professionals in film, TV, game audio, and broadcast to repair, enhance, and restore problematic audio quickly and easily.

The latest version - RX 6 - focuses even more specifically on solving some of the biggest issues in audio post. So we put together these quick tips and tricks for RX 6 to help you deliver clean, high quality sound to your clients.

Creating professional voiceover, narration, or podcast recordings starts with proper recording technique. Achieving crisp, clear results requires good mic positioning - on axis with the subject at an appropriate distance depending on the mic - and use of a pop filter to reduce plosives.

However sometimes resources are lacking, the unpredictable occurs, or a client delivers what sounds like a 19th-century wax cylinder recording. In situations like this, use these RX tips and tricks to fix common voiceover recording problems:

NEW:Remove mouth clicks with Mouth De-click

Sensitive microphones can bring out mechanical noises of the mouth which can be very distracting.

The new Mouth De-click module in iZotope RX 6 is a de-clicker that is finely tuned to detect and reduce mouth noises including clicks and lip smacks.

While this feature is designed for use on longer audio selections to fix entire passages at once, you can also use it to remove individual clicks.

NEW: Reduce sharp sibilance with De-ess

Sibilance is the harsh high-frequency sounds that come from the letters S, F, X, SH, and a soft C. The new De-ess module in iZotope RX 6 attenuates or reduces sibilance in two modes: Classic and Spectral.

Classic Mode detects sibilants and attenuates them with a broadband gain envelope. Mixmeister bpm analyzer mac. Spectral Mode is more transparent, intelligent, and frequency-specific by only attenuating the high frequencies where sibilance is most active, thereby leaving the lower frequencies untouched.

Hear the Spectral mode of the De-ess module in action in the example below transparently attenuating sharp sibilance without introducing pumping.

Remove plosives with De-plosive

Plosives are strong blasts of air from letters such as P, T, K and B that impair the sound of your recording. They’re typically heard as low-end thumps between 20–300 Hz, though sometimes as high as 500 Hz.

iZotope’s RX 6 provides an improved De-plosive module to identify plosives, and then separate and remove them from the audio signal while preserving the fundamental frequency and harmonics of the dialogue.

Be sure to use De-plosive before filtering the audio at all. The function uses a frequency band between 20-80 Hz to detect plosives - so if a high-pass filter has already been applied, it is possible that plosive detection may not work correctly.
