RX Final Mix is aimed at those working in post production and broadcast, mixing program material for radio, TV, film, and the web. Driven by feedback from you, our users, we created RX Final Mix to support surround.
RX 7 provides exceedingly useful tools for post production, and many are easy to implement. But we all have to start somewhere, and for those diving into the post game for the first time, any audio-repairing software can be intimidating. Even for experienced hands, it can be hard to know when to edit dialogue anyway—and how to do it.
What follows are some examples of how I use RX 7 everyday. Read on if you want to see some real-world implementations of this powerful processor.
1. Dialogue Contour for finishing a sentence
Izotope Rx Free Trial
While working on a podcast, I was given a transcript of the relevant audio, and a bunch of raw interviews from which to pull quotes. Many of the quotes were finished sentences—statements where the person had clearly finished their thought with a period, full stop, end-of-story cadence.
Or so it appeared in the written transcript. The audio, however, told a different story: the person had more to say, hastily jumping into their next thought. This “next thought” wasn’t germane to the original point at all—hence the cut in the script—but human beings aren’t tidy machines. They don’t speak in the same way as writers write. Run-on-sentences are par for the course.
This can sometimes be frustrating for audio editors, for if a person jumps too quickly between one thought and another, you’re left with a most unnatural edit point. That’s what happened on this podcast. I found myself with sentences that just didn’t end clearly.

Dialogue Contour came to the rescue many times in this project. Using the module, I was able to close the sentence in a natural way. The operation was simple—I isolated the phrase, clicked in a node at the end of the phrase, and subtly brought the pitch down.
