In this video, David Barber walks through how he used iZotope’s RX Post Production Suite 6 in post production to reduce background noise captured during the filming of Paper Spiders.
This masterclass is a great example of how the delicate power of iZotope RX can turn a scene with audio that at first listen seems un-confrontable into an audibly clean, professional scene.
Discover David’s audio repair methodology and how he used RX 9’s De-click, Spectral Repair, Dialogue Isolate, De-rustle, and Dialogue Contour to achieve a clearer mix.
