Izotope Rx Remove Vocal From Track

Posted on by

Apr 20, 2017  In this video, I’m going to cover how to use the brand new De-Bleed module in RX 6 in a music production context using a vocal sample. Once you’ve downloaded the test files, one called “Vocal ProductionActive Bleed” and the other, “Vocal Production Click Track (Source)” for the tutorial from the RX web page and opened it in RX by clicking and dragging them into the RX application. You can use RX 7 to remove vocals or other parts to create an instrumental version of a song. This approach also eliminates the need for different track versions or stems. Isolating vocals with Music Rebalance in RX 7 is quick and easy. The software runs as a standalone audio editor.

Introducing RX 7 Standard

Audio Repair for Music and Post Production

Used on countless albums, movies, and TV shows to restore damaged, noisy audio to pristine condition, RX 7 is a complete toolkit for audio cleanup and restoration needs. Visually identify and repair problems with the standalone RX Audio Editor application, or use the plug-ins in real time in your favorite DAW or NLE.

RX 7 Standard introduces new features and workflows that allow you to easily edit, repair, and restore audio to pristine condition both in post and music production. Instantly fix clicks, pops, hum, noise with Repair Assistant, rebalance music or isolate vocals with Music Rebalance, and surgically fix dialogue and musical performances using the editor or plug-ins.

Rebalance the musical elements of a mix

Are the vocals too quiet or the drums too loud? Can’t find the original stems to your song? With Music Rebalance, no mix is “final.” Using an algorithm trained with machine learning, Music Rebalance can intelligently identify vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments and allows you to individually enhance or isolate elements of an audio track, making remastering without multitracks possible.

Isolate or remove vocals from your song

Not only can Music Rebalance be used to adjust the levels of musical elements in a mix, but it can also make once-impossible workflows like vocal isolation and vocal removal from a mix a reality. In RX 7 Standard, you can easily extract an entire vocal performance from other musical elements or even remove the vocals, leaving only the instrumental elements.

RX 7 Standard: Features

Music Rebalance [Standard Only] NEW

Music Rebalance is a powerful tool that intelligently identifies vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments in a mix and allows for independent gain adjustment of each element—you can even isolate or remove vocals. Drums too loud? Vocals not loud enough? Are other instruments too present or is percussion not punchy enough? With Music Rebalance, you can easily reanimate a mix, create instrumental versions of songs by removing the vocal elements, or even isolate the vocal to prepare a remix without having access to individual tracks or stems. Also available as an AudioSuite plug-in.

Repair Assistant NEW

Representing the latest advances in iZotope's assistive audio technology, Repair Assistant is a game-changing intelligent repair tool that can detect noise, clipping, clicks, and more. Solve common audio issues faster than ever, simply by selecting the type of material (music, dialogue, other) and letting RX 7 Standard analyze the audio. Repair Assistant then offers different processing suggestions to help give you the best result, as well as three different intensities (light, medium, or aggressive) for each. Review and audition different suggestions, hit render, and let Repair Assistant do the rest for you!

Quickly repair these common issues in just 3 clicks:

  • Noisy recordings
  • Mouth clicks and pops
  • Clipped audio
  • ..and more!

RX 6 introduces the new De-Bleed module, which reduces the leakage of one signal into another, such as when vocals bleed into a guitar microphone, or when a click track fed into headphones bleeds into an open mic.

For example, in the recording I’m about to play, we’re going to hear a male vocal that has a faint clicking sound on it. Let’s see if you can hear it.

[vocal with click]

That ticking sound that we hear is the click track in the singer’s headphones bleeding into the microphone into which he’s singing. Let’s attenuate it using the new De-Bleed module.

Once I have the De-Bleed module open, I want to make sure that my active track, which is the one with the vocals and the bleed is checked here, and I want to make sure that my source track, which is the one with the click on it in my second tab here…

[click track]

Is selected in the bleed source track dropdown menu. Now, I’ll press learn. And now, I’ll press process. Now let’s hear the results that the De-Bleed module has had on our track.

And here’s after we used De-Bleed to attenuate those clicks.
