Amazon.com: Dialogue Editing for Motion Pictures: A Guide to the Invisible Art (9780240809182): John Purcell: Books

FANTASTIC book for what you are looking to learn more about. There are actually videos of him on the internet talking about and showing the techniques in the book.

If you are generally solely a DX editor, your use of plug-ins should be minimal to none, which is why there isn't much out there on it.

Re-recording mixers generally just want stuff properly cut, not treated or mixed in any way.

In regards to RX there is a pretty decent help file associated with it and they also have a kind of tutorial guide with examples going into detail as to what the functions do. Should find that on their site.

You are 100% correct in that.

+1 for John Purcell's book. It's great. One of the things that you will learn is; the better that your edit is, the less a mixer will have to deal with noise issues.

Yes, however..... one of the dx editors jobs is to get rid of unwanted sounds in the track. If they can cut out a horn honk and replace it with fill, that's expected. So, with new tools like RX, where in the past you had to cut out the honk if it was clear of dx, or cut out the offending word with the honk on it and find that word in another take, now you can remove it with spectral repair. So I say, go for it. (but leave me the unaffected track in the x tracks).
