Features and functionality
-
The Music Rebalance Module in RX 8 allows precise isolation and adjustment of audio elements, akin to advanced image editing in Photoshop.
Source -
RX 9's dynamic Dehum module keeps broadband noise integrity intact, offering faster workflow compared to Abstentia DX but with less control.
Source -
The "restore selection" feature allows reverting audio to any point in the history box, but deleting audio disrupts timing, affecting this function.

RX 8 offers more fine control and artifact correction compared to free services like Spleeter, with better results on complex tracks.

Lifesaver for shitty vocal takes
Before I had the idea of shoving my laptop into the closet, I used to record vocal snippets for my tracks with my PC right next to me. The fan noise from the PC would fuck with me like crazy. I eventually got RX to save me in a lot of those cases thanks to the De-Hum module.
I also used to do my vocal takes with an omnidirectional mic that I used for Sonarworks. The mic tended to pick up a lot of room sound. The De-Reverb module helped me in those cases.
Nowadays I use RX for stuff like headphone bleed (De-Bleed) & mouth clicks (Mouth De-Click). Thankfully I don't need to use it nearly as much as I used to (I rarely even need to pull up anything outside the plugin modules).

Essential, worth it for the Denoiser alone
RX is essential & needs to be in your toolkit. On vocals, I use it to remove the preamp noise from my Focusrite 2i2 - which is already quiet, but RX pushes the noise down 20-30dB quieter. That helps when I'm pushing vocals through several compressors & enhancers. The Declipper also works really well if I've accidentally recorded too hot.
Of course, RX really shines for cleaning up old & badly recorded audio, like podcasts or cassette recordings. It even rescued synth samples I'd sampled in the 90s at 8-bit from a cassette tape!
