Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
Hi all! This is a bit of a hail Mary, but I'm trying to denoise some tracks on a project. A while back I demoed Izotope RX2 because that's the appropriate version for my old-ass computer, os, and version of logic. I'm willing to buy it now but of course that's about 5 versions old and they dont sell it anymore. And to get the latest version would require thousands of dollars of updates, which I'd love to do but is not in the cards now.
Does anyone know if theres a good current denoiser that would still work on OS 10.5.8 and logic 9?
And I guess if anyone knew a way to get authorization for rx2 I would be open to suggestions as that would be the simplest.
Thanks!

If there's no alternative, their programs, I think, run fully-featured for 10 days in trial mode, so if it's just a one-time thing you could give it a shot. Also RX Elements, the cheaper version of their current thing, is only 29 bucks if you don't need anything craaaazay.
Alternately, it's been discontinued but you can apparently still get copies of Music and Speech Cleaner on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/iZotope-Music-Sp ... B002TXIB7U and a friend of mine has had great success with that.

Re: Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
I guess I wasn't fully clear that my computer is too old to use rx7 which is why I'm not just buying (or demo-ing) that. Was hoping to find an alternative that will work on my system or if someone wanted to sell me their old rx2 license.

To OP, how extensive of surgery are you wanting to do?
Re: Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
Cool Edit Pro has awesome NR, and old versions are cheap on the Ebog.

Not too heavy, mostly tape hiss and one guitar track with 60Hz from the amp. But I'm also going to try and take a little drums out of the main woodwind mic. I have the demo of rx2 in there now and feel like it's doing pretty much what I want but because I downloaded a while back it now drops out every 10 seconds until I authorize it.kslight wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 5:20 pmI believe that’s just a DVD guide at that...joninc wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:19 pmi see - how about this:

I know other people who've got the ability to do this, but I really need to be the one tweeking it because itll be a fine balance of getting it sounding as good as I want it to without getting in the way of the vibe that's already there. Especially when it comes to the woodwind mic.
I did recently get a new macbook but dont have any DAW running on it yet, or an interface that works with it. I'm actually thinking of picking up a cheap interface at GC tonight, downloading a trial of reaper or something as well as the demo of rx7 and trying to accomplish what I need. I can always return the interface afterward if it's not the greatest thing in the world.

I saw this the other day, perhaps it is helpful:
https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/produc ... ogue-track
Accusonus sells for $60 and came in first. I'm happy enough with waves z-noise which came in a close second. RX came in last, though it looks like they were using the dialogue specific part it. But you could try RX elements which is selling for only $30 right now, seems to have most of the noise reduction features of the standard. Seems like most of what it's missing is the new-fangled music re-balancing feature.

Re: Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
Gotcha, so you probably want a full spectral editor for this. I don’t think RX elements will quite do all of that, at least not the way i use it. I have RX6 standard for these purposes exactly.DrummerMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 7:28 pmNot too heavy, mostly tape hiss and one guitar track with 60Hz from the amp.

I’m not totally sure you need to purchase a sound card for your MacBook unless you want to, I think the builtin core audio driver would work fine for this.

It's just that the macbook doesn't have a headphone jack and my bluetooth headphones don't even come close to having a sound I can trust.

Re: Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
I just found out that my new macbook does indeed have a headphone jack, it's just on the other side than I'm used to. D'oh!
I ended up ordering a zoom h6. I've been wanting one for recording shows but then I saw it will also work as a USBbus powered interface. Now trying to decide whether or not to return it. It seems like a good thing to have but I dont actually need it right now and moneys always tight.

I was gonna say, didn’t realize that Apple cut the headphone jack on the computer (yet).DrummerMan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:26 amI just found out that my new macbook does indeed have a headphone jack, it's just on the other side than I'm used to. D'oh!

Re: Izotope rx2 or other denoiser?
I believe Soundtrack Pro (old apple audio editor, which came in the FInalCut Studio 2 bundle) had a pretty decent (though not quite as good as RX5/6/7)... and it definitely works in older version of MacOs (pretty sure it would fly in 10.5.8...)
I'll look to see if I still have my NFR copy, from when I worked for Apple — if I do, you're welcome to it.
