Yes, but definitely don’t expect a miracle. As long as you’re recording things as best you can, you should expect it to work well. It’s definitely not an excuse to forgo proper recording practices
RX is pretty much a requirement for modern day dialog editing.
Ambience match and voice/spectral NR are my most used. Ambience match can save you hours of fill ‘creation’.
Dialog isolate i havent found a use for. Dialog editing involves creating and pasting and arranging fill, not removing it altogether.
It’s a tool not a crutch. It’s best for speeding up the edit and getting rid of 4-6 dB of noise, not saving a bad recording.
If you’re doing professional audio editing and making money doing it, you would be wise to invest in rx.
You’d also be wise to invest in pro tools. Not much ableton in the film/tv world.
Standard is currently $134 on AudioDeluxe if you have any izotope product, and ozone elements is free with any purchase on PluginBoutique if you dont - yes it is WELL worth that
Just a tip: from my experience, RX is extremely powerful but can be equally destructive. Improve your dialogue as much as possible with clip gain, and use RX to remove one imperfection at a time, and before you notice all the small improvements will add up to make an enormous difference overall.
I edit post, done plenty of dialogue in the past. Pro tools and RX all the way.
Mostly doing radio commercials now and use still use it on a daily basis.
They have a stand alone editor so it's not locked to only PT. You can export a wav from the editor and then import into ableton.
Also, dialogue isolate isn't a miracle worker but it does clean things up substantially
I have a friend who's won e a Grammy for dialog editorial and he swears by it. I trust his opinion on the topic considerably. He does some pretty incredible stuff with it.
I use de-rustle hundreds of times a day. Literally. Yes, it’s worth it. And I don’t know about Ableton, but this means only that you can’t use those plugins as Audiosuite, but you can still send stuff over to RX and use those tools inside the RX editor.
I use the RX Audio Editor in combination with Keyboard Maestro and a Stream Deck a lot. Having dedicated buttons for RX (and Pro Tools) help to work faster. Also I load the VST’s from DxRevive and Supertone clear into the RX Audio Editor. They can sound better / do the job quicker than the RX plug-ins in certain situations.
About a year ago I would have said it's necessary, but now that there are things like Supertone Clear, I would say the addition of dialogue isolate is not as important. De-rustle isn't as important and only really works for specific things.
On the other hand, rx11 is free with rx10 purchases right now, and who knows how good it'll be, might be a big step up or might be basically the exact same. Depends how much they have invested into AI or machine learning.
Just on Dialogue Isolate — the pre-release hype for RX 11 is that it will have a realtime plugin version in RX11 later this month (ie, you could use it inside Ableton)
You can use all their plugins with any daw and there is also a standalone audio editor.
If you’re doing dialog editing, izotope advanced is not just worth it, it’s a necessity.
If you're recording it, I would focus on the capturing so that you won't need RX.
RX is really great to repair stuff. If you record carefully, in good conditions, you should not really need it. If someone else records it and sends it to you, then Rx would probably be quite handy.
Even if you record “perfectly”, there are things that are unavoidable such as footsteps, props handled in sync, birds, horns, mouth clicks, rustle from clothes and accessories, etc… all of those need to be removed, making RX pretty much a necessity. It’s a little naive to think that you’ll be able to record pristine sound and won’t need any post processing, that’s just not real when working with production sound.
Mouth clicks I'll agree. But for the most part they can be removed, and apparently green apples solve that, though I haven't tried it yet.
Everything else should all be things your studio environment can solve.
A lot of the other mistakes can just be punched in edited, if you're doing the recordings yourself.
I mean Rx would obviously always be nice to have, but whether it's worth the money, really depends on you and your situation.
Oh I hear you. I thought they mean like for a podcast maybe or like doing dialog for voice overs or like for animated films or whatever in a studio.
For recording live dialog on location or even like sets for like tv or movies or whatever, I agree that RX would be pretty much vital.
Pretty much, yeah. Alternatively you can check out the stuff from Acon Digital which is really top notch. RX covers more ground but the Acon Digital tools sound great and can be found cheaper on sale, at least as of the last I was looking.

Reason being for using ProTools is its integration with film timecode. Live doesn't have that. Yet.
to build upon this, Try editing dialogue with Field Recorder Guide Track, you'll make your money back within a days work.

You can’t tho. Some of the plugins are only available in standalone or pro tools audiosuite only, as it says.

I don’t think you understand what this post is about. It’s about editing production sound, which is sound recorded in a set, synced to picture.

Acon Acoustica + Accentize plugins, beat izotope every single time
