I listen to the track and make an adjustment there. I usually just use Ambience Match in Audio Suite. Add in a non-functioning new Ambience Match mode, it's hardly a compelling update, is it? I do fear though that they will just shrug and say 'well it works better on some things than others, and that's why we gave you legacy mode'. If they can retrain the DI algorithm to handle a true variety of material and then update it, then great (though historically iZotope don't really do significant updates in point releases).

I guess the other option is to have two windows, one 8 and one 9.īut taking stock of all that - all round it still feels like an extremely poor update. If it is the case that legacy DI will work better on some material and RX9 on others, then I'd prefer that checkbox to be right up front rather than buried in settings, as I'll be wanting to switch back and forth all the time. I only tried Ambience Match on one clip so far, but found exactly what you did. As to the speed, I'm not convinced that Best mode really adds anything at all, so Good may be fine for day to day use, and this works at the same speed as 8.

More even sounds - the easy stuff, you'd think - makes it fall over. My hunch is that the more complex the backing the better the new algorithm handles it (relative to RX8). Presumably they haven't trained the algorithm on a broad enough range of material. That suggests to me that nothing has glitched in this release version, but that the kind of material that responds well to the new algorithm is quite specific. As a further test I actually recorded the website demo, and it did indeed process exactly as they said - it sounds better, which also bears out your experience.

I'm currently using RX8 for everything, but RX9 DI stand alone plug-in for specific lines.īTW, there's a setting for RX9's DI module to use legacy algorithm, so you can tick that and it's pretty much RX8, so you don't need to go back and forth if you rather use 9. It's just random copy/paste with lots of artifacts.

Processing time is indeed much slower, hopefully 9.5 will fix it, maybe using more CPU cores or something like that ? I'm cutting a show and played a bit with 9 on one scene and it was pretty good, when the actors are talking softly I found it to be better than RX8. It looks like you're cutting a doc or something like that, but something with your test is off for sure. For me RX9's DI worked the same, and better, than RX8.
