De-bleed eliminates headphone bleed from acoustic guitar tracks, removes click track bleed from vocal takes, and solves other signal bleed problems. De-ess tames overly aggressive sibilance. The new Spectral De-ess mode transparently attenuates sibilance with iZotope’s spectral shaping technology. Jan 16, 2015 Fortunately, with RX, these issues can be fixed effectively and quickly, so you don't have to throw out an otherwise perfect performance. Buzz is one of the most common problems with electric guitar recordings. Sometimes this issue can be minimized with careful setup, amp placement, etc., but other times this issue is unavoidable.

Apr 20, 2017 How to Use De-bleed in iZotope RX 6. De-Bleed reduces the leakage of one signal into another, such as when vocals bleed into a guitar microphone, or when a click track is fed into headphones, and then that bleeds into an open mic, and that’s exactly what I have here for this sample. We have our active bleed.
Once you’ve downloaded the test files, one called “Vocal Production_Active Bleed” and the other, “Vocal Production Click Track (Source)” for the tutorial from the RX web page and opened it in RX by clicking and dragging them into the RX application window, or by opening RX and pressing Command+O or Control+O on a PC, your RX window should look like mine, with the files, “Vocal Production_Active Bleed” and “Vocal Production Click Track (Source)” side-by-side in tabs on the top-left hand side of the screen.
So, De-Bleed reduces the leakage of one signal into another, such as when vocals bleed into a guitar microphone, or when a click track is fed into headphones, and then that bleeds into an open mic, and that’s exactly what I have here for this sample.
So in the recording I’m about to play, we’re going to hear a male vocal that has a faint clicking sound on it. Let’s see if you can hear it.

So to reduce the sound of the clicking that we’re hearing, I’m going to use the De-Bleed module. I just want to point out one thing before I do though, and that’s if I slide this back to the waveform and spectrogram view, we can’t really see those clicks, can we? In fact, if I go all the way to the x-axis here, we just see the waveform. I can’t see those clicks, but if I slide all the way over to the spectrogram view, I can see them. They’re sort of perforated going up and down the screen. There’s one very pronounced here on the right, so it’s a really handy thing to be able to visualize audio in this way to be able to see and detect those clicks.
So let’s get on to the De-Bleed module. I’ll find that up here, it has a little microphone next to it. So there’s a few things to remember before using De-Bleed. The first is that it requires two files, a source and an active file to be open in the RX audio editor.
Now, we’ve already done that, right? We have our active bleed track here, and our vocal production click track source side by side.
The next thing is that the sample rate of the source and active files must match. If they don’t, that’s okay, we can use the resample module right here to correct the sample rate differences between the files.
The next thing is that the De-Bleed source and active files must be time aligned within a few milliseconds of each other, and this means that if the two audio files were played back together, they would sound in sync, so if the same audio events are occurring at the same points in the timeline for both the source and active tracks, this means they’re time aligned.
If the two tracks aren’t synchronized to within a few milliseconds of each other, we can cut out part of the track or add silence to a track to put the two tracks in sync with each other. We can adjust the length or timing of the files, for example, by using the cut edit operation, so I’ll click and drag to show you. I can go Command+X or Control+X on a PC to cut that file. I’ll Command+Z to get back. Control+Z on a PC. Or I can insert silence using the signal generator down here to adjust the length of the file.
Now let’s go into the De-Bleed module and learn a little bit about it. So I want to make sure that my active track, the name that’s displayed here, Vocal Production_Active Bleed is the one I want to attenuate the bleed from. In this case, it is, right? I played it a moment ago. This is the one that has the vocal and the click track on it. Have a listen.

So that’s good.
The next thing I want to make sure is that the source track from the source track dropdown menu is indeed the click source. In other words, we’re being asked where the bleed is coming from. In our case, that’s the click track, which is this track right here. I’ll play a little bit of that.
[click track]
So now, I’ll return to my active bleed tab. So now, in the active file tab, which is the tab that I’m on right now, we have to make a selection as to where the bleed is most obvious. In my case, the bleed occurs throughout the vocal, so I’m going to click Command+A or Control+A on a PC to highlight the entire track.
Next, I’ll click the learn button in the De-Bleed module. This analyzes the general relationship between the bleed source and the active track.
After a learned pass is complete, we can process the track with a couple of parameters here. Let’s go through them.
The reduction strength control determines the amount of bleed reduction applied during processing. So I don’t want to push this too hard, in case it might eliminate audio I want to keep from the active track, so I’ll keep it at its default setting of one.
Artifact smoothing can help to reduce or eliminate the under-watery sort of noise that we might incur from the processing that powers the De-Bleed module. Again, I’m going to leave it here at its default setting of five and make changes if I need to after I’ve pressed process. And speaking of which, let’s process.
Let’s hear the results of our processing with the De-Bleed module.

I can’t hear the click track at all. Let’s go back to the before just for context. So here is before we used the De-Bleed module to attenuate that click.

And here’s after we used De-Bleed.

The differences there are pretty dramatic.

It’s no secret that iZotope’s series of RX de-noising and waveform editing products have dominated the market for several years. They are the go-to processing effects for many post-production engineers and editors. That being said, it may be argued that releasing annual or even biennial paid updates without significant improvements is a bit exploitive. Many developers are guilty of this and sadly, this approach is integral to their business model and to the financial detriment of a loyal customer base.
So when RX7 came out, I was immediately suspicious as to the true value and necessity of yet another update. But as I soon discovered, RX7 represents a significant advancement and builds on the areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning in which iZotope seems to be leading the way with other offerings such as the Neutron and Ozone bundles.New Features
The Repair Assistant detects problems and suggests three ways to repair the problems, giving you a choice of repair processing effects chains that can be auditioned prior to rendering. You select the file and identify the nature of the material as dialog, music or other so the algorithm can be optimized for that purpose. The intensity or aggressiveness of each processing alternative can be changed overall with the slider just beneath the spectrogram displays.
You can mouse over the previews in the interface to see the effects chain that has been applied or click on the [Open as Module Chain] button to edit the effects order, individual parameters, specific frequency ranges to be processed, bypass selected effects or replace, remove or add the effects being used.
The processing by default focuses on clipping, clicks, hum and noise, or you can disable any of these and remove them from the analysis if they seem inappropriate based on the material.
For less experienced users, the Repair Assistant will definitely seem like magic and more experienced users will benefit from a faster workflow and the ability to tweak the settings used in the automated process.
The Music Rebalance feature allows you to change the level of various musical elements in a bounced file. It works surprisingly well. You can also isolate or remove vocals from a mix and it captures similar material from left and right channels as well as the center. Great for creating remixes!

The Dialogue De-Reverb is similar to past D-reverb setting powered by machine learning to reduce the presence/reverb specifically around dialogue.
RX7 now offers multichannel support up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 and Audio Suite versions are available for classic repair effects: Dialogue Isolate, De-rustle, Breath Control and the new Music Rebalance.ConclusionRemove Vocals From Guitar Track With Izotope Rx 1
Anyone that has ever used iZotope’s RX products in the past does not have to be sold on their utility. They are essential and unparalleled processing effects for audio repair, de-noising, dialog editing, spectral processing and useful in post-production for image-based sound as well as music production. For existing users, the new intelligent processing features will significantly accelerate your workflow, making this upgrade a worthwhile investment.
