I've logged in hundreds of hours with Rx,.. all on one cut!
Just kidding, but I work with lots of recordings from live settings and use it primarily to remove crowd noise with Spectral repair. A couple of things I've picked up along the way.
If you're using the 'replace' module and you get a fluttering sound, try reducing the freq count. Also, don't go for the max on any of the settings. Start with the minimum or close to it. I know it seems counter intuitive, but these higher settings take a long time to process so preview takes too long and they're seldom the right settings.
Sometimes it's best to dissect problems that are either extended in time or frequency. Removing a noise in bits and pieces with a setting that you're confident with is a lot quicker than trying to find that perfect setting to do the whole thing at once. Once you get some practice with a couple of settings, for the types of noise you're dealing with, you can really fly.
If you're using Pattern, you've probably got a big noise. It may obscure the entire spectrum at that point. Before you use the Pattern repair, examine the area before and after the 'big problem'. If there's noises there, remove them and then go back and use Pattern. That way, you won't interpolate the noise from the surrounding area into your replacement pattern.
Finally, learn to use all the controls. The preview/play button, the history pane, using your scroll wheel for magnify and changing the appearance of the spectral display are your best bet to keep from getting frustrated.
