Z7K2 file names from rendered audio
 

Hi together,
I need your swarm intelligence, did not found any infos about on google:

I have got a Pro Tools session from a customer. Inside the audio files folder are many .wav files with Z7K2 in its filename. Does anybody knows, which plugin adds this labeling? The files are something distorted and I want to know which algorithm did this.
Thank you !!

They are zipped.

no, they have the wav extension and played back as usual. They namend "Dialog-01-...Z7K2..-06.wav" for example. If you use an audiosuite plugin in Pro Tools, the rendered files get a new name. The unknown plugin has added Z7K2 in the file name. I don't know if its Ozone oder Zynaptiq or something else. I think the person used a noise reduction plugin or something but the result is rough and a little bit distorted.

Habe you asked on the DUC?

Have you asked the customer what they used?

Found this thread:

It's pretty old, but based on posts there, it could be Izotope RX 7 DeClick

i just tried scott's suggestion using rx7 declick and got this in the filename: scene2-RX7Dclk_01-01

Hmmm. It was just a guess. I very well could be wrong.

I'm not sure how far back RX 7 goes, but maybe an earlier version of PT was still using 4 digit codes?

good line of thinking, though! forgot to mention i'm on PT v2018.12 so maybe the newer PT versions append the names the way OP has found them too. i also wonder if they're zynaptic made.

I'm on the latest 2020.5 Ultimate and it's RX7Dclk as you say. I feel like the 4-letter code is from older versions of Pro Tools. PT 10 and earlier, maybe? But that's just a gut feeling.

Sorry for my late response. I did not have any idea, yet. May could be a Ozone tool on an older Pro Tools as mentioned. I will give you a feedback, after I spoked with the client.

Thank you!
