In this week’s episode we try out the new version of iZotope RX’s Breath Control plugin. It’s been fully rebuilt for RX 12 with new and improved neural nets. That means more accurate breath reduction for your video and podcast audio recordings. In our experience, previous versions of Breath Control haven’t been the most reliable tool in the suite; how does this new version measure up? Let’s take a closer look and listen!
You can dive deeper into how Breath Control works and what each set of controls do on this documentation page: https://docs.izotope.com/rx12/en/breath-control.html You can find in-depth pages for each of the other individual processing modules there as well.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See https://school.learnlightandsound.com for more info!
