Episode Description from the Publisher

Audio repair and restoration has always been a huge part of mastering – and not only for re-mastering vintage material.Even modern recordings can have problems like clicks, thumps, hiss, amp buzz, distortion and many more. Ideally they’d all be fixed in the mix, but sometimes it’s not possible or they get missed – or maybe the best tools for the task aren’t available.In this episode I talk to Mike & Alexey from iZotope about my personal favourite piece of software for this kind of task, and many more - iZotope RX.Version 12 of RX has just been released, with many new features and improvements. We talk about this and much more during the episode including:Why I love RX and have been using it since 2011My favourite featuresSome “secret weapon” strategiesThe toughest challenges for restorationHow using the “wrong” feature can sometimes be helpfulLinks and more episodes here:www.themasteringshow.com/episode-109Mentioned in this episode:MasteringClick HERE to work with IanLearn to master !Click HERE to see Ian's courses and mastering resources
