Audio repair software removes problems from recordings after they are made: background noise, hum, clicks, clipping, breaths, mouth noise, reverb and unwanted sounds. It can also separate dialogue, music and effects or vocals and instruments, and rebalance a finished mix. This guide explains how to choose from our range of audio repair software.
What audio repair software fixes
- Noise: steady background noise such as air conditioning, fans and traffic, and changing noise in field recordings.
- Hum and buzz: electrical hum at mains frequency and its harmonics.
- Clicks, crackle and clipping: digital clicks, vinyl crackle and distortion from recordings made too hot.
- Room sound: excess reverb on dialogue recorded in untreated rooms.
- Voice problems: breaths, mouth clicks, sibilance and plosives on speech and vocals.
- Separation: splitting dialogue, music and effects, or vocals, bass, drums and other instruments, so each part can be adjusted on its own.
Spectral editing and assistants
The most capable repair tools show audio as a spectrogram, where every sound is visible by frequency and time. A door slam, a phone ring or a squeak can be selected and removed like a blemish in a photograph. Repair assistants listen to the audio, identify common problems and suggest a chain of fixes that you can fine-tune, which saves time on podcasts and video.
Choosing an edition
- Entry editions: the essential repairs for podcasts, video, voice-over and home recordings.
- Standard editions: more modules and finer control for music and content production.
- Advanced editions: the complete toolset for film and television post production, dialogue editing, restoration and loudness-compliant delivery.
- Post production suites: repair tools combined with mixing, reverb, vocal and metering software for a complete post workflow.
At Shivansh Electronics this category includes iZotope RX 12 in Elements, Standard and Advanced editions and the RX Post Production Suite 9.
Licence options explained
- Full licence: for new users of the product.
- Update: moves an earlier version of the same product and edition to the current version.
- Upgrade: moves you from a lower edition (for example an entry or standard edition) to a higher one.
- Crossgrade: a reduced route into a product for owners of another qualifying product.
- Education licence: for eligible students and teachers, where offered.
Tell our personnel which products and versions you already own: the right upgrade, update or crossgrade can cost far less than a new full licence.
Formats and computer requirements
Plug-ins load inside a digital audio workstation or editor in one of the common formats: AAX, AU or VST3. Modern plug-ins are 64-bit only. Some products also include a standalone application for working outside a session. Check the formats your software supports and the minimum operating system version for your computer before you buy; our personnel can confirm compatibility with your setup.
