Fabien, thanks so much for the kind words and taking the time to share with the community. I'm glad that my video helped you decide to try Clarity and even more so for using my links. You're a legend.

Thanks for sharing your insights from a pro standpoint.

They will be back. I’ll just be doing them on KZfaq though. Building a new studio this month. Hoping to start them next month.

I know, right. What you don't know is I have that music cranking in the room. Louder than any cafe would have.

@@benniknop that’s amazing

I would definitely suggest getting a copy and seeing what it can do. I’ll post more videos with comparisons over the coming month.

I use rx7 and just got clarity VX ,and to me clarity is better than voice DeNoise imo

@@jclbuxfan I'm going to check this out!

You are most welcome. Please subscribe and if you decide to purchase please help out the channel by using the links in my description. Many thanks.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words.

So why mention it again? 😜 As I’ve mentioned, that was an error on my behalf but RX Dialogue Isolate isn’t a real time plugin which was what I was comparing. I still don’t think isolate is as good as Clarity is most situations. Thanks for your contribution.

@@benniknop no problem brother...oh, did I mention you had de-noise set for music? Lol

As I mentioned many times and in the comments below this video was about real time reduction. RX 9 you had to process offline in the app. It wouldn’t be a fair comparison.

I don't think Waves will raise the "initial price" ;) The experience with Waves plugins contradicts this :) I bought "Clarity Vx" and it is much better than NS-1, but I will wait for the Pro version until Black Friday ;) Waves = constantly promotions :)

I’ve said it in the video and replied to a lot of comments. This was a real-time test. You can use Dialogue Isolate without sending it to RX and doing an offline process. I don’t disagree that it great but it’s not as easy at clarity. They are all good for different things but honestly I’m still blown away by Clarity. I’m using it as a clip effect on Resolve and it’s killer when cleaning up dialogue.

Very subtly. I like to use a small amount of Vocal Rider to just bring up some of the quieter dialogue but mostly bring down the louder dialogue before I compress is a little. This is after I've done noise reduction. LoAir is great on your LFE channel.

Thanks for the kind works. You have to buy iZotope separately to use in Davinci.

I completely agree, the Vx is fantastic, you get very little for 8x the price with the Pro version. Seems oddly priced to me. I suspect the Pro version will be down to $49 or $59 soon.

Is the standard still a better value person to get over the pro?

It’s only made for voice so I don’t think an acoustic would work. I’d be interested to test this on a live band performance to get rid of cymbal bleed. I think it’ll work a treat.

Waves announced they will come out with the Waves Clarity Ax Ax Pro in a few months that will be the "Vx Vx Pro of Audio signals" ROTFLMAO Psych!

I am using it on live vocals and it greatly cleans up the bleed. I love it.

@@tacomamusic I just used it on a live concert. Worked a treat. Cleans the drum kit out of the vocal.

These neural network noise removals are usually only tuned for one thing so acoustic guitar wouldn't work unless it was specifically designed to do so. Putting acoustic guitars through this will result in no sound sadly.

I still use RX all the time. This was just a comparison of how to quickly clean up your dialogue. I didn't notice when recording the video I had the music not dialogue algorithm set. That was my bad. Each tool has their own use cases. It's definitely not an RX killer. They all have their place. I use tools like Clear as well these days.

I totally agree with this statement, but as I said in the review/overview I'm comparing their real-time plugin. I don't think it's fair to compare importing your audio and using the suite of plugins within RX editor and having to print your effects. The fact that you can get the reduction quality you can with a real-time plugin is amazing.

@@benniknop I'm curious what you think of the Clarity Vx lite version compared to the Voice De-Noise. The lite version have very noticeable artifacts compared to the Pro version from my own tests. I still think it's better than Voice De-Noise. It also works in real-time.

@@Hzuuuu my plan is to do tests with it and make a video this week. Let me get back to you. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notified.

I'm not getting many artifacts.

Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. You’re the first out of thousands to complain about the music. I think at this stage I’ll keep doing what I’m doing but I appreciate you taking the time to let me know why you didn’t support the channel.

You could probably isolate the voices from the acoustic but not from each other. You’re asking a lot of any software at that point. Maybe one day AI will be good enough

@@benniknop lol Yeah I guess AI at some point. If there is a voice recognizer that separates each person. Hopefully soon. Thanks for the reply.

Have you got a video or some audio samples we can hear? I'll have to get a copy of Icon and have a play. I've been an RX user from the beginning and although I don't think it's fair to just compare the voice de-noise plugin, I want to keep it true to real-time processing.

Hey Mark- if I can ask, are you still using Cedar DNS on your dialogue tracks? (e.g Cedar on the DX tracks, Dialogue Extract on a bus?)

@@ChrisPFuchs yes. But lightly. When for real problems, or if I don't have access to Cedar. ACON is my go to.

Acon Digital Extract Dialog. I have the Acustica premium Edition. I prefer it in some ways over Izotope RX for ease of use and can get good results .

You're welcome to try - Clarity Vx is MUCH better than Dialogue:Extract - AND it does it at 4096 latency, against almost 13,000 latency for Acon. No comparison - in sound, performance, features and latency.

Can you compare it to C-Vox Suite (UAD)?

@@gaborkiss1425 If you are directing that at me, then no. I don't own any UAD processing hardware.

@@cwichura Okay, thanks. I am just being curious, because that was the first "intelligent noise reducer" that I ever used before. :)

Hey, Christopher. I've asked iZotope several times now if it's possible to use voice denoise or other nodule in real time instead of a noise gate but they said their plugins are not meant for real time but then they have adaptive mode which seems to be a real time processing option so I'm confused. Have you tried using voice denoise in real time without much latency and do you have a video on it ? All the best.

@@igorsenayoutube I used Voice De-noise in real-time for months before switching to the CEDAR. In my video you see it running in real-time as well. But I don't use adaptive mode as mentioned in the video, since it wasn't smart enough to detect no signal when the gate in front of it closed. The Spectral De-noise plugin is NOT suitable for real-time, as also mentioned in the video. With all the quality settings cranked to max, it adds over two seconds of latency. Even at minimal quality settings (which is basically useless from a sound quality point of view), it has non-zero latency. Edit to add: the video I reference is on my channel, comparing RX Voice De-noise to a CEDAR DNS 8D. I missed that this was a reply in a different channel...

I don't work in Premiere sorry.

I'm planning on making a video of the standard version of Clarity Vx, I might use that time to use dialogue isolate as well on these samples and see how it does. This test was more about real-time noise reduction.

@Benni Knop it was definitely good. I wanna see the standard version before I decide to have it in the Arsenal

@@darkechoproductionsllc9559 give me a few days!

@@benniknop When are you gonna upload that video? CANNOT WAIT (:

I find with the pro version being able to lesson the effect on different frequencies useful in many cases but either way, it’s a great plugin to have.

Just curious if you are able to run two instances of Waves Clarity Vx? I'm only testing it out, have an 8 Core 4GHz and 32GB Ram Win 10 PC-- and as soon as I try to put clarity Vx on a second stereo track my DAW either shuts down playback or (Pro Tools) reports not enough CPU. Seems like I'd have to put it on a Master or Bus channel and print the cleaned up tracks, then disable the plugin to do anything else?

@@marcov9581 I’ve found this a little hit and miss. On my Mac in Resolve I could maybe get two instances on my PC I can get 4 but some times it chocks a little. Might be best to do an offline process of it and print the changes.

But it's true you can use it on an M1 Machine if it's running in Rosetta, right?

@@tomookay Indeed. But what do Waves do all day? M1 Macs have been out for over TWO YEARS.

I know, right!?!?!

That's a difficult question when I don't know exactly what artefacts you're trying to get rid off. I'd use the Izotope RX suite do deal with most of this. It's great for getting rid of clicks and pops. Does it make it sound more mp3 like? Have you got some examples?

@@benniknop I know it is really hard question, sorry, my voice is on my page here. I think it might be kind of an impossible question as what we are doing is kind of experimental i guess. Have you tried Antares SoundSoap yet? i noticed they just released a new version a month or so ago, Yes i should get RX suite on the next sale and try that as well, thanks for the reply.

That was an error on my behalf. I never use the music setting. I just had tested the music scene with the setting before shooting and didn’t change it back.

I don't disagree. You can achieve a lot more with RX audio editor BUT this was a real-time comparison and I wanted people to see how easy Clarity is and how quick you can get good results. You definitely can't get results like this with RX without doing offline processing. Thanks for pointing out the music mode. Other's have as well. I always have it in dialogue mode but before I started the demo recording, I checked music mode for the last 'Cafe Background Music Scene' and didn't notice during the recording. I'm going to compare the standard version of Clarity soon and I'll make sure I don't make the same mistake.

Tell us your results mate !!

Are you putting it on the channel insert/plugin or on the clip itself?

@@benniknop Tried both, to no effect unfortunately. The plugin folders are all right and Waves Central doesn't show anything weird either

@@TheSonOfaMonkey Open da vinci resolve in rosetta mode and it should start working for you

@@FerridayC Yo that worked! Thanks a bunch

Thanks for pointing this out. Apologies for not giving RX the right representation. I never have it on the Music selection but I did a pretest on the 'Cafe Background Music Scene' before I recorded the demo and left it on. I'm going to do a video for the standard version soon. I'll correct that for the next comparison.

@@benniknop all good dude, i am doing location sound ,and i start using iztope denoise since RX5 ， diff setting yield pretty diff outcome , but for sure i admit for mild to moderate ,RX is not best sounding denoise software

@@joinwoo1 RX is a killer bit of software. If you have the time and know how it does amazing things. This comparison was more about real-time and when you don't have the luxury of time, how do you get good results?.. I think #ClarityVx is the way to go for a quick real-time alternative. I think it sounds great. I was a bit shocked to be honest.

Are you on an M1 Mac? Make sure you open Resolve in Rosetta. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKiKptiHppzTnJs.html

It’s a VST so it should.

Yeah i saw some videos on it.

Free? You payed for that :)

@@Zero-Sun no, Nvidia Broadcast is free to use

I’ve used Fairlights AI noise reduction before Supertone’s Clear as well. The double hit is a great way to do it.

@@benniknop I just tested it myself Wave Clarity kills RX

@@machoman7655 there is definitely still a need for RX but for general dialogue restoration, I think Clarity will be my go to from now on.

@@benniknop Did a retest for vocals only RX takes it. For room ambience Clarity. Clarity is a cpu killer!

@@machoman7655 clarity is a cpu killer for sure. You can only have a few of instances and then the computer craps itself. I’m using it on a live music concert. Great for bleed from the band. Better for quick and simple projects.

I’ve previously apologised for this mistake. I never normally have it in music mode but was testing on the music scene and didn’t turn it back.

Currently don’t have a project I can use for a demo with cymbal bleed. I mix a bunch of live shows and this could work a treat for that.

Hard to say without hearing it but probably not that good. It may help you get some of the dialogue clearer but it won’t help for the music.

This was just an example of real time correction and to show off the plugin. I use whatever tool is best for the job in productions. I don’t use spectral demonise often. I don’t like what it does to the dialogue. On occasion it is the right tool though.

I was skeptical when they first told me they were doing noise reduction and that they have a game changer but I’m sold. I won’t be getting rid of RX but for a quick and easy fix on projects and for some noise that RX just can’t get rid of… I’ll be pulling out Clarity

Apologies. The non pro version is still great but you don't have the same control as the pro version.

Appreciate the feedback. I'm not really doing anything different to some of the bigger youtubers. I'll make sure I keep an eye on the music so it is less distracting on future videos. I tend to only use music on intros and outros but it depends on the content. I don't often use a teleprompter but I did on the main intro camera. I've just watched it back again and I don't personally agree and haven't had anyone else comment on it. The main reason I use it is to make sure the script is quality, not repetitive but also keeps my editing times down so I can make more content. Does anyone else have an issue with me using the teleprompter? Thanks for the feedback Krunoslav.

@@benniknop No problem. About ducking music so it doesn't interfere with the voiceover, or dialog, if you have iZotope RX you can open up your video clip and you can even see it visually. Its pretty obvious how the dialog is burried under tones of other sound, the music. And that is what I can hear when I watch the video here. Its quite distracting and its not just me saying it, the iZotope RX or any program that can show it in spectograph can show you visually the problem. Sadly I can't post screenshots here on youtube to show you, but trust me, its there and its obvious. That is why I didn't even have to look at it, I could hear it. If you don't hear it, probably its that your "ear" is not trained... yet. If you are interested in ducking, again I can't post a screenshot here to illustrate, but here are some useful resources: The Davinci resolve release 15.1 and newer has Audio Ducking throgh Sidechain. Under Fairlight page --> Dynamics --> Compressor --> SideChain. The SideChain option now has 'Send' and 'Listen' options. You select 'Send' in Voice channel and 'Listen' for the background music channel.. You can find how to do it by screenshot in the forums here. forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=59619 Video tutorial if you prefer that. AUDIO DUCKING in Davinci Resolve kzfaq.info/get/bejne/laepi9tkms7GY6s.html And another tutorial - Audio Auto Ducking with Davinci Resolve 15 Fairlight kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oax2a66j0K-pZo0.html .............. About teleprompter. I know many youtubers, borrowing from corporate talking heads have and do use teleprompters, and most people don't comment on it. Personally to me its very obvious and takes away from authenticity of the presenter. Because its like the weather girl. You just read and at least in the weather girl scenario they try to distract us with tight skirts. My point is that if you are going to read from teleprompter or something similar, my advice is that you do not record yourself reading. I can always tell because in order for you to read, you must have a thousand yard stare, with almost no blinking and steady head so you don't lose the track of what you are reading. Its very obvious. I would suggest for the sake of authenticity, and generally more compelling presentation to simply learn those few minutes you have to say something to the camera and say it, or re.record it. You are not giving live presentation. And I know you know the topic since you don't use teleprompter for the whole duration of video. So you are just using it out of fear you won't be prepared enough, and that creates precisely that impression. I don't mind when people read the text, just when they record themselves reading the text. Show roll B while you read and when camera is back on you, act authentically and speak with authority. Cheers and good luck with your channel.

Have you checked out GOYO yet?

Apologies. I did record on a busy street. Next time I’ll give someone the finger so they beep their horn for you.

Also, I’d like to add that I was playing music in one scene. That isn’t a constant ambient noise. It’s changing frequencies and there are long sounds and transient sounds.

Thanks Thomas, It's been pointed out many times and that was my mistake due to running a test before shooting and forgetting to put it back. I still stand by this plugin as well as RX. They both have their place.

Fair enough. I'm more just showing the capabilities. In real world use cases I don't use a lot of the plugin. Appreciate your feedback.

I don’t disagree at all and when working on most projects I’m in Pro Tools using Connect. You can do it in Resolve as well. This is not my usual process with a feature film or anything serious. I’m just showing that Clarity is a great way to get results quick for projects with short timelines and small budgets. Clarity is definitely not an RX killer but I will definitely have a place for both pieces of kit. Thanks for your insights!

@@benniknop Thanks for the thoughtful response... I guess , Depending on what people expect, This plug in can do more in the "Insert an Instance" and your away.. Dont get me wrong , I used too Use wave x/z noise ect, Great for setting up a threshold curve, Say over the Guitar, like plugins running realtime.. I get it.. But working shot by shot , Take by take , with a different order of Modules , and settings, I create a Playlist (mainly Post In tools,...But I hate Avid.. And I refuse to upgrade being sucked ion to thier egregious subscription service.. Little Lone Upgrading from 10HD is Extortion, and of course , Only Protools Ultimate does Surround,...Like..WTF!) But yes, When I doing Compostion in logic, (And not doing Audio Post) the Bigger Post Houses , Ill always hand in my deliverables (stems etc) with a session and name conforming factor we agree to use.. , That way , The Remixer can import the session data right into the Master Session... And that compatibility , and supplying at such, means Ill never be the fall guy ! lol Anyway, the reason for all this rant, Ive always wanted a Fairlight, and with the Company getting liquidated 3 times, Its amazing that an OZ company ended up with theIP,.. Mate.. In the Noughties, Their first real product , The Decklink, around 2002, we couldn't get enough.. And here we are.. Like Rode, They've really taken alot of the pro market no one thought they could.. So , iWork with a mate in our company.. His the Video Guy, And Im the Audio Guy.. Plus Our DP Who has a BM 4k? , and also Used Final Cut than with FCx , Moved to Premiere.. Now, There all on DR studio... It took a while, but thats the hobbits youve got to break, And once they did, They'll never go back... Classic was they Both Hated the Cut page...Like , Why? It's stupid, etc.. Now they get it, and LOVE it. Especially projects that dont involve Post houses, I want to keep it all in Resolve.. But the Audio editing was a Bitch when they added Fairlight...Id Dowload every Release , Knowing how capable it was , but a monstrosity to use.. Video Editors jargon and works flow is not of that of someone that does audio.. Many informed BM as why it just wasnt there.. And damn It.. 17 was the Moment..The Fairlight Page is actually becoming more Audio workflow ecentric.. Its not fully there yet, but I'm excited.. But it'll be in downtime, and a Test project..... Its good to know Connect works without issues int Resolve.. Just never had a chance to try it.. So again, good info. As Im doing 2 shorts at the moment , Im not going to move to DR yet... But Its great to know Conncet works... I had a Feeling it would, But in Hitech and computers , we know not to ever Assume. No , I dopnt work for Black Magic.. But Did work For a Sydney HiTech shop that where the only Digi dealers, (we imported digi, becuase they decided the market wasnt worth it..I shit you not) .. But Then , With Avid Failing, The acquired Digi..Yep the suits and accountants saved their company by buying a better one.. Now they've made it the same way Avid lost its market share... Basically, These days , The only reason toileting use Protools, Is in film .. If it wasnt for that, Theryed be gone. So Ill reiterate. BM Good 👍🏻 Avid and Adobe Bad.👎🏻

To add.. I do enjoy your content.. as you will already know as I have Sub and the Bell icon selected.. Plus, Your an Ozzy! ;) I do appreciate your response I guess the only thing I was trying to convey, Some new , upcoming audio guys may make a decision without fully understanding what makes the waves straight forward and quick, but also by not showing what RX can really do.. (Though yes, more complicated) In a perfect world, you'd have both.. But One thing is Certain...The RX I Use is Advanced.. And it aint Cheap.. That , if anything, really is what is a great purchase for what it does.. Again, just txting my mind. Cheers

​@@Rhythmattica you have some knowledge and history behind you.. Have you tried spectralayers pro 8? i ask because im on the fence about upgrade to rx9 advanced or spectralayers 8 pro. you mentioned you like to do a lot of spectral editing. wouldnt spectralayers be more suitable for surgical cleanup or is rx9 advanced still better? thanks.

you don't have to use Connect in Resolve. You can just set RX as an extension, which will open that audio clip in RX and will "replace" the previous audio soon as you hit save in RX (tehcnically, it still keeps the original clip too)

As I’ve previously said this was a real-time comparison using real-time dialogue restoration plugins. If I was to do things offline using all the RX modules you could get a lot better results than you can with just dialogue de-noise but that also wouldn’t be fair to Clarify as it’s a real-time plugin.

LOL I see you deleted your ignorant comments and just remade the original comment without the giveaway that you're a consumer with no skills. Probably the smartest move you've made. If you have really been working for 30 years, learn how to solder a cable LMAO

I was comparing two real time dialogue noise reductions plugins. It’s definitely not an RX killer (click bait title) but it definitely competes when it comes to real time processing.
