Course details
We all want our vocal tracks to sound their best, but sometimes, despite your best efforts, there are sonic issues such as background noise, hum, or harshness that make their way into vocal recordings. Not to worry! In this course, seasoned engineer Evan Sutton shows you how to clean up and process vocal tracks with Izotope RX10. First, learn how to make broad stroke changes using standalone mode, Repair Assistant, and batch processing. Next, go deeper with denoising and declipping; removing clicks, ambiance, and reverb; adjusting plosive and esses; and working with gain staging. Finally, go deeper by isolating vocals, removing track hum, and EQ matching multiple tracks.
