IZotope RX Plug-in worth it for Audition CC users?

Hello,

I use Audition for sound design and audio editing. I really love Audition spectral editor, and the audio repair built-in effects are 'ok'.

I wonder if the IZotope RX Plugin suite is worth it (current price is 50$)? How is it different from Audition's own repair effects? Is it too basic? I usually repair audio recordings myself (with frequency, amplitude and spectral changes) without any special tools, but it takes a LOT of time.

Thanks

You get a lot more control with the advanced versions. Whether this is of value to you rather depends upon what you want to use RX for. If you need to do precision repairs to audio, there are a lot of other parts to it that you may find useful, but for basic cleanups the cheap version may be fine.

The one thing I'd warn you of though is that once you've experienced what the advanced version can do, you won't want to go back!

My opinion (as someone who owns and uses the full RX Advanced), Yes!  In my experience, RX can accomplish everything that Audition's repair tools can do (and more) but much more rapidly and with potentially considerably less user intervention.  I'm not suggesting that RX works "automatically" but, for example, one pass of its Noise Reduction can easily achieve what perhaps 3 , 4 or even more passes of AA's own NR would be needed to do, in order to successfully remove the noise.

You ask is RX "basic"; I hope you will get some indication from the previous paragraph that it isn't!

Thanks for your answer! I just want to make sure we're talking about the same product (the 4 plug-ins, not the advanced version)?
