Just bought RX3 a few months ago and not too happy about the upgrade price. Guess I'll be hanging on to v3 for a little while...

Izotope should release RX4 Intermediate with a list price of about $750 or $800. I think it would result in a net increase in revenue for them because upgrades from the basic product would more than offset lost sales of the advanced product.

They could take a poll of users on Survey Monkey (or any other polling service) to decide what features from RX4 Advanced to include and exclude.

I currently have RX3 (non-advanced) and feel caught in the middle. I need (okay, okay, want would be more accurate) more than RX3 and RX4. And the current discounts on upgrades make $100 for RX4 a bad deal if you think you are ever going to upgrade to RX4 Advanced in the future. But I just can't spend another $500 on restoration tools.

And knock a tiny bit more off if you buy via AudioDeluxe.

And I thought they just released RX3

The Clip Gain & Leveler is amazing and fast. It will save me a lot of time as I do a lot of post production. I see it as a good tool prior to compression as well. For me the upgrade is a must. I will recoup the cost on my first job.

While that's what's officially supported, I assume, I've been running it in 10.6.8 just fine. The only hickup with it with was connect, which as of last week now works flawlessly. Honestly that feature alone is worth the upgrade to me. I'm in protools, so having the ability to send a region out to rx, process with an au/vst (and whatever else) and pop it back in super fast is amazing.

Good to know. Thanks.
What version of Pro Tools are you using?

I was wondering if the combo 10.6.8. and PT8 would run flawlessly...

I'm on 10.3.9. I can't comment on anything earlier than that unfortunately.

Painfully true!

Is there any other product than RX4 that is comparable? I have some dialog editing work coming up shortly and wondered if there were other solutions either cheaper or more expensive.

Fantastic deal !


I already got the RX3 Advanced, but I picked up this one as well.
Can't go wrong with that price, and Mike T's review was very nice too ...

Thanks guys for the info. Since you own both, do you think this Acon package will do most of what RX3 can do, in regards to dialog cleanup? I have SPL De-verb which I already use a lot when mixing music.

Thanks for the heads up on AudioDeluxe. I just upgraded from RX3 Advanced to RX4 Advanced and saved a little bit through them.

I bit the bullet and upgraded from RX2 standard to RX4 advanced.....WHAT THE HELL DID I WAIT FOR!!!! This thing is incredible!!! I am knee deep in a project that is a children's CD with a lot of kids singing on it. Needless to say, it needs a lot of help since it was crazy tracking all these little ones, they can be noisy!!!

Any way, this thing is just awesome!! I am enjoying the learning so much and its so much nicer graphically than RX 2. If you have the cash get this!!

I wonder why they had that ugly "hardware look" in the first place. They matured a lot since regarding the GUI, hopefully they will also mature regarding upgrading prices and cycles

Mighty good software though, gotta say. I finally upgraded from RX1 to RX4 (not advanced). It was super cheap, I don't know why those upgrades for the regular version are so reasonable and the Advanced ones are so expensive.

Anyway, I've been using Sonic Soundblade Declick for a few years, and this is just as good/better in that its more flexible. Really great software.

Anybody else having trouble with the standalone app on a Mac? Keep getting freezes and error messages.

Thanks Gemylon, I picked up Acon Digital Restoration Suite 1.5 for $56 and it's really good. I had a vocal with a lot of noise on the track and it worked really well. For usage in conjunction with a noise gate for other tracks it's nice.
