AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Top40 Charts) iZotope, Inc., a leading audio technology company, has released the next generation of its industry-standard audio repair software, RX. RX transforms flawed audio into usable material by removing noises, distortions, reverb, and more. With the release of RX 4 and RX 4 Advanced, iZotope adds new functionality that saves more time for creativity - whether you're improving sample quality for use in a hard-hitting club track, or mastering a delicate classical music recording.
"Audio quality is a significant concern in music production today," says Rob D'Amico, Senior Product Manager for iZotope. "With RX 4, we've developed an intuitive solution that not only improves the quality of recorded audio, but works seamlessly with your DAW to enhance it, making some of the most problematic audio release-ready."
Aimed to reduce manual tasks in your production workflow, like removing distracting fret squeaks or mouth noises, RX enables users to rescue troubled audio and significantly enhance its quality through the addition of new automatic, intelligent modules, time-saving features, and deeper levels of integration with their host.
