The Izotope RX series is most commonly used in post production, particularly in voiceover work. I often use it as my go -to de-esser and on occasions for breath control. However, I have found the ‘music rebalance’ plug is really useful; run off-line in Audio Suite. Rebalance is a really quirky piece of kit, where you can isolate four aspects of the track. It offers you four channels of separation, vocals, bass, percussion (including drums) and ‘other’ (ie., everything else!).
I have recently been using it as a creative tool. In a writing or song development situation [[[I often buy a whole selection of songs, often chosen randomly or by following a tenuous thread, and then dissect the contents]]] and find inspiration from classic artists, composers and record makers. I also occasionally take this a stage further and drop the resulting stems into Melodyne 5 and creating a MIDI file that might lead me somewhere other than the ordinary. It is important, of course, not to infringe copyright but since the dawn of time, creatives have sought to be inspired by their heroes.
