How to Reduce Noise Using iZotope RX 11
Step-by-Step Guide to Reducing Noise with iZotope RX 11
Step 1: Import Your Audio File
Open RX 11 and load your audio file by clicking File > Import Audio or simply dragging and dropping the file into the workspace.
RX 11’s Spectrogram View will display a visual representation of the audio.
Step 2: Identify Noise
Play your audio to identify the sections with unwanted noise.
Use the Spectral View to visually locate noise patterns. Unwanted noise often appears as irregular or dense areas in the spectrogram.
Step 3: Select the Noise Profile
Highlight a portion of the audio containing only noise (e.g., background hum or hiss) using the Time-Frequency Selection Tool.
Go to Learn Noise Profile under the De-Noise module. This teaches RX 11 to recognize the noise.
Step 4: Apply the De-Noise Module
Open the Voice De-Noise or Spectral De-Noise module, depending on the type of noise.
Adjust the following settings for best results:
Threshold: Controls how much noise is removed. Start with a moderate setting and adjust as needed.
Reduction Amount: Determines the intensity of the noise reduction.
Step 5: Preview and Adjust
Use the Preview button to listen to how the noise reduction affects your audio.
If you notice over-processing (audio sounding unnatural or robotic), fine-tune the settings.
Step 6: Use Additional Modules (If Needed)
For specific noise issues, consider these modules:
Dynamic De-Hum: Removes hums caused by electrical interference.
Dialogue Isolate: Separates voices from noisy environments.
De-Click: Removes clicks and pops from the recording.
Step 7: Render and Save
Once satisfied with the noise reduction, click Render to apply the changes permanently.
Export your cleaned-up audio by clicking File > Export Audio and saving it in your desired format.
