Declick
De-bleed, de-ess, de-plosive, de-X. One of the first things you may have noticed about RX 7 Standard is how many ‘de-somethings’ occupy the list of modules: Most of these features address the need to attenuate something undesirable that was captured in a recording,. Nov 12, 2018 Dialogue De-reverb gives a better solution to the all-purpose de-reverb module; it improves on its predecessor in ease of use and quality, but more in ‘De-rooming’ than ‘De-reverbing’. All in all, RX 7 is an impressive update, essential for newcomers who need clean-up software, and a no-brainer upgrade for those with much older versions. The click will be removed using interpolation from the surrounding audio data. If the result is not satisfactory, try adjusting Interpolation Order or other parameters. If the click or pop is very long, Interpolate may cause a short level drop. In this case, consider using the Spectral Repair tool instead of Declick/Decrackle. Aug 16, 2019 RX Elements: Audio Repair Plug-in, iZotope, Inc. Online Code. De-click to clean up vinyl clicks, mouth noise and soften up clicky bass guitars, De-hum to remove ground loop hum and line noise, and the critically acclaimed De-noise technology, which is finely tuned for vocals and dialogue, to reduce unwanted steady state or evolving. Introducing RX 7 Elements: Essential Audio Repair at an Affordable Price. RX Elements is the perfect introduction to the world of audio repair, offering essential tools to remove noise, clipping, clicks, and other problems that plague small studios.
Declick is useful for restoring for old vinyl and other phonograph recordings that are riddled with clicks, pops and crackles. Declick can also remove a variety of short impulse noises from other sources, including some clicks caused by digital errors.
Decrackle
Typically, the duration of a single click and pop will not go beyond 10 ms. Decrackle is designed to handle a more continuous stream of irregularities in your audio that become blended together at lower amplitude levels, resulting in what we hear as crackle.
TIP: Decrackle is not designed to be used instead of Declick. On the contrary, the best results can be had by first running the Declick module, and afterward, processing with Decrackle.
Automatic or Interpolate Declick/Decrackle?
Declick/Decrackle features both Manual and Automatic modes. Automatic mode can look at a whole file, or a selection, and detect and remove clicks and pops. For audio files that have clicks/pops or crackle throughout the file, Automatic mode is the best choice as it will save you a lot of time. The Interpolate mode is useful when you want more precise control over repairing clicks, or in some cases where there are a few hard to fix clicks left over after running the Automatic mode. Interpolate processes must be performed on each event individually.
Automatic Declick/Decrackle Mode
Start by choosing the desired Algorithm type for your Declick module. Single-band mode works very well with narrow 'digital' clicks and has the advantage of having a much faster processing time. The Multiband options work well for wider vinyl clicks or thumps and perform great on very uneven audio material such as old recordings.
Before running the module in Declick/Decrackle automatic mode, it is a good idea to look at the Spectrogram display and visually identify clicks to inspect how wide they are, as this will help you see roughly what your Maximum Click Width and sensitivity should be set to.
Hit preview to hear the result of your settings, and as audio is playing back, fine tune the sensitivity and click width sliders to remove the most clicks and pops. The ideal setting should remove the most clicks without damaging transients in the program material. For example, drum hits may be mistaken for clicks at high Width and Sensitivity settings.
To better hear what is being removed, toggle the Output Clicks Only control during preview playback. This will let you hear what is being removed from the audio, allowing you to fine tune your settings.
Note: For material with crackle/clicks or pops of very different sizes and lengths, try running Declick/Decrackle in several passes.
Interpolate Mode
To locate clicks, display both waveform and spectrogram by dragging the waveform/spectrogram transparency slider to the center. Clicks will be visible as vertical lines on the spectrogram. To select a click precisely, zoom in and inspect the waveform. While spectrogram will help with finding clicks, the waveform display will help you accurately select click boundaries.
Select the click and press Apply. The click will be removed using interpolation from the surrounding audio data. If the result is not satisfactory, try adjusting Interpolation Order or other parameters. If the click or pop is very long, Interpolate may cause a short level drop. In this case, consider using the Spectral Repair tool instead of Declick/Decrackle.

Tutorial on Commonly Used Modules
This is our 3rd article on iZotope’s audio repair tool RX 7.
We will continue to look at editing using different modules.
Though many modules are included, I have chosen a few which I find personally useful and common to take a look at.

De-hum
First take a listen to this sample.

https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hum_Crackle_pre.mp3
We can hear a low humming noise as well as a constant crackling sound as well.
Lets try to get rid of these.
Lets try to get rid of these.
We will be using De-hum to remove the hum noise.
Hum noise is usually based around low frequencies in the 50-60Hz range, and is a noise that contains a number of harmonics.
We could select 50 or 60Hz from Base Frequency, but if you want AI to make the choice for you, click the Suggest button at the top.
We could select 50 or 60Hz from Base Frequency, but if you want AI to make the choice for you, click the Suggest button at the top.
This will analyse the sample and Free mode will allow it to set a more accurate frequency.
The hum noise can been reduced greatly but if the voice has been negatively effected as well, we can lower the number of harmonics down right on the brink of effecting the main sound. We can do this from the Number of harmonics fader.
Next lets adjust the amount of cut. You can make changes from the screen, but the frequency points can get shifted in free mode so we’ll enter numerical changes below.
Find a point where the noise isn’t noticeable yet the vocal remains clean.
For the low end, you can cut up until the point where it starts effecting the vocal. We will turn the High-Pass Filter on and cut under 100Hz.
Though you most likely won’t be using the Low-pass-filter, it may be necessary depending on the type of noise present.
If we want to make more detailed edits on the harmonics we can choose a different Linking Type.
For the default ALL setting, moving the slider here will have a slope effect on all frequencies.
By selecting Odd/even you can control the odd and even harmonics separately.
The Slope slider will help lower the reduction effect on higher frequencies.
When None is selected the link is removed, allowing you to control the Gain of individual harmonics.

De-Crackle
Next lets look at getting rid of the crackling pop-like noises.
We will be using De-crackle.
We will be using De-crackle.
- Quality:Low will work faster, while High will provide a better sound quality. Medium may yield better results than High depending on the situation, so its best to listen and compare this settings.
- Strength:Determines the strength of the effect, and a higher setting will get rid of more noise but can negatively effect the vocal sounds. Use “Output crackle only” to hear just the crackle sounds and find the right setting.
- Amplitude skew:Allows you to determine the amount of noise editing by the volume of the input signal. Turning it to the right focuses on the louder areas, while turning it to the left will do the opposite. We can set this higher if dealing with clipping noise, but for small detailed crackling noises such as this, it is best to set this parameter on the lower side.
For noise that couldn’t be completely removed, we can try using Spectral De-noise which we took a look at in our previous article.

As you can hear, we have been able to clean up the audio.
De-reverb
Now lets change the sample audio and take a look at the unique De-reverb.
As the name implies, this helps remove reverb and room reflections in a recording.
First lets hear the sample for this example.

We can clearly hear the reverb in this sample.
We will be using De-reverb on this audio.

Though all of these parameters may seem confusing, we can utilise RX 7’s special feature here and get some automatic settings using the Learn button.
To dive a little deeper into the editing, we can leave the Reverb Profile frequency settings set by Learn as is, and adjust the Reduction and Tail length to yield big results.
- Reduction: Increases the amount of reduction of reverb. We want to raise this higher but it will cut out vocal frequencies if set too high, so its best to adjust it to find the right balance.
- Tail length:The further right its pulled the more it works on longer reverb tails. If you get unnatural changes in the vocal sound, be sure to pull this back a little to the left.
- Artifact smoothing:Adjusts the frequency detail of noise removal. Setting it low results in some artefacts in sound, but will increase the amount of reverb reduction. If set higher, you will have less artefacts and a smoother sound, but more reverb will be left over. Its best to listen and find a balance in the middle.
- Enhance dry signal:Increases the volume of non-reverb sounds and expands the dynamic range. This works great on dialogue and human vocals.
The resulting audio after adjusting each parameter is as follows:

https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Reverb_processed-1.mp3
Though its not a completely dry signal, a considerable amount of reverb has been edited out.
De-clip
Next, if we happen to accidentally distort audio during recording we can use De-clip to remove clipping noise.
We have a sample prepared for this as well.
* Be aware that this sample is louder than the previous examples.

https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Clip_pre.mp3
In de-clip we will first setup the threshold of clip sounds. We will use this histogram as a reference but it looks like nothing is displayed at the moment. The histogram will be updated depending on the selected area, so lets first select the portion with vocal audio contained.
Izotope Rx 7 Review
If you still don’t see anything, zoom out in the Histogram. Because the majority of sound is clipping, we can see quite alot reflected in the higher volume areas.
By pressing the Suggest button, it will automatically set the Threshold to the suggested point.
Its clipping to the point that that nothing is visible in the center, so it’s set to 0dB. If the audio isn’t this distorted, we would set the threshold a little below the clip.
The remaining parameters work as follows:
- Quality:If your CPU can handle it we suggest using High. If your computer can’t handle the strain when using this as a plugin, use Medium or Low.
- Makeup gain:Most distorted recordings are too loud to begin with, so we will be lowering this. You could adjust this parameter so that the fixed audio matches the volume of your other takes as well.
- Post limiter:Applies a peak limiter at the end to prevent the edited audio from going over 0dBFS. Its best to tick this box.
Lets hear how the sample sounds after making adjustments.

The sound is much cleaner and its hard to believe it was distorted.
