Whether it will work right and whether I can figure it out remain to be seen. I'm still not sure what it was supposed to accomplish, but in all events after following a separate chain of pushbuttons I can launch Izotope on my computer now. OK, I just went back to the Izotope installer and discovered that the referral to iLok may have been a bum steer. I miss the days when one bought software on a disk, copied it to the computer, and set it to running without messing around with registries and authorizations and portals and other related folderol invented for the sole benefit of the software publishers. Maybe this is a test to see if the buyer has enough savvy to master the software in use. At the moment I'm just cycling through a seemingly endless circle of screens that tell me this or that status but don't let me do anything. At the moment, I'm stuck I fumbled my way through installing something called iLok, which apparently is nothing to do with Izotope itself but is necessary to get the software to install, and then the Izotope product portal, which is necessary to get the software loaded onto my computer, and then actually installed the software, but now it tells me I must "authorize" it through the iLok thing "and don't forget to transfer the license," and I haven't yet figured out how to make either of those processes work or even what I'm trying to accomplish. Word of warning for those who may do likewise, however: this software has the most ridiculously complicated process for downloading and installing that I have ever encountered. (A week or two after you buy the $29 version, you'd get a discount offer for the full RX 8 for $199 instead of $399.)īuy iZotope RX 8 Elements Audio Repair | Sound Editing/Production SoftwareĬlick to expand.I went ahead and bought a copy thanks for the heads up. I'd guess that over a year, one third of the time it is on sale for $29. There is Izotope RX Elements which often is on sale for $29, but at the moment it is the normal $129. Izotope RX is better but at 13x the price it should be. It's a beginner program but there is plenty in there to do great things or serious damage. You get 3 chances to save a processed file before you pay and register it, but if you don't save anything you can always play with its features and controls. Download the trial, load a WAV file, then experiment, click the Play icon (not "Preview" but try that and hear what happens) and "Customize" and there is much to play around with as you listen in real time. It has declick, and several other types of audio processing, which are all adjustable and can be previewed in (split second delay) real time. Still can't believe that they came up with software that was as transparent with such minimal effect on the music for tick and clicks.Click to expand.It certainly is. Nice to have my record collection or a big chunk of it in digital and portable and sounding so good and clean in high-res. It's been so great, good fun, great listening. The only thing that has changed is I now do them in 24/96khz, and use an outboard recorder for the digital capture, most all get CR, and then they go to FLAC, no CD-Rs. I'm using the same TT, same cart, same PC editing software, same deal. I'm still doing drops, still using CR, and loving it. Now I was taking some flawed LPs that looked fine but were just not really great players - and turning them into something outstanding. Some nice LPs but marred by tick-ridden sections, too many to do by hand. Developer's Description By ClickRepair ClickRepair finds and repairs clicks and crackle in audio files obtained by capturing vinyl and shellac (78) records and to digital CD format. By the time CR was a reality I could start doing drops of LPs that I was previously not interested in bothering with. All my careful work went from being really good. All that work I had done capturing some of my favorite LPs (many not on CD at all), and then to have CR on hand to take them all to the next level was a watershed moment for listening. So by the time I got hip to ClickRepair I was just about on my way to loading up my music server with all the drops I had been doing for a decade or so. Always keeping a new stylus on the table. Learned the Nero Burning Rom, and became aware of Japan made TY blanks. I already had the record cleaning down cold, and learned how to remove major ticks and clicks by hand. My needle-dropping process started out in 1999 after I read up on the best soundcards, editing software & CD recorder.
